About Me

THE BAND I'M INCheck these bands out;
I love to play music and enjoy everything good that this world has to offer. In my life i've had alot of ups and downs. Its made me stronger as a human and a christian. I believe its what makes us stronger is the lower parts in life, Gives you character, wisdom, and strength to take on the next low, it also makes the higher parts feel ever more enjoyable. I enjoy being around my great friends. I'm an open book and i don't label myself as emo, indie, hardcore, metal or straight edge. I just like to be open and to talk to as many people i can.
