About Me

My Interests

life and everything that it entail, is what i'm into......

I'd like to meet:

the moments that evade me on the daily. and people with vital information on how to chage the nation, people with imagnation, visionaries who see beyon domination, who read so as not to bleed unnecesarily over some dumb shit, who are submerged in a inter-relational awareness of what it mean to be a being beyond the mere physical illusion of the ego driven self.

Music:
