Life ain't always beautiful...but it's a beautiful ride!

About Me

I guess that I'm a pretty complex person (but aren't we all?). I strongly believe in the saying, "Carpe Diem" because I've learned, when it comes right down to it, yesterday is gone and tomorrow isn't promised. So what we have is today and I don't want to miss a second of it. I can be intense when it comes to philosophy or any type of intellectual discussion although I don't necessarily try to be. I usually vent my emotions and thoughts through writing, songwriting, or playing my sax/guitar/piano. Music has always been my true love and will continue to be throughout the rest of my life. Most of the time though, I am pretty goofy...I have quite an eccentric sense of humor and love to see people laugh (uh - even if it's at my expense...). I'm probably one of the most non-judgemental and laid back people around and I'm looking to meet those that are similar to me.

My Interests

I have many interests...I love music and am getting back into song/short story writing; four-wheeling, motorcycle riding, tripping over my own f*ckin feet, you get the point! I'm pretty spontaneous - I just love to have a G-damn good time, no matter what the circumstances...

MySpace Codes

I'd like to meet:

Everyone! I love people - I've found in life (especially through bartending) that everyone has a story to tell and it's usually interesting.a

Music:

OK...so some of my friends who haven't yet come out of the dark ages in regards to internet speed have been complaining that my page won't load...so the pics of the bands I like are gone. Good job, you've ruined it for everyone.Anyway, I pretty much dig all music...as Don McLean sang, "Can music save your mortal soul?"...well yes it can.I love acoustic and live shows and will see any venue live. As far as genres, my favorites are probably rock, classic rock, metal, jazz, and country. Nope, you're reading that correctly; Hatebreed, Louis Armstrong, and Dierks Bentley are neighbors in my CD case. Word...

Movies:

DDR from Grandma's Boy

My Blog

Hey everyone...I got a new job!

I knew that day was going to be interesting when I woke up next to Boy George.  Funny enough, when I asked him to sing "Karma Chameleon", he gave me an apathetic look, lit a cigarette, and to...

I have an epinepherine pen & I know how to use it!
