I'm Joseph (a.k.a. Joey, Brown Bear , Darkness, Token, JoJo , etc.)
I'm a 20 year-old o r e o
I love God, music, my friends and family, and hugs.
I procrastinate more than...eh I'll think of something later.
I'm a struggling christian and strive to become a better person everyday.
Everything happens by chance for a reason.
Music is my life and passion (cliche, but true):
I play guitar, piano, trumpet, drums, a little bass, and sing (dur) .
These tunes are recorded in my bedroom.
I dare you to try me at Guitar Hero.
Ice cream is my only vice.
Dollarmenunair for life!!
