just wake up

About Me

i am a full time student/musician but i am more interested in fitness and nutrition. i feel more at home when i'm riding my bike or lifting weights then i do at smoke and booze filled parties where people aren't doing things that are interesting (aka drugs of all kinds are boring).

i don't hang out with people who have the same ideas i do, but i'm sure i wouldn't have it any other way. i feel like i'm fitting in less and less, but not really making any strides to find new people. but isn't that what this website is for?

all i know is that i change this section almost every time i log on because i hate to think that i am not a person with ever changing goals, opinions, and beliefs.
