To live for Love is the greatest adventure!

About Me


I edited my profile with Thomas’ Myspace Editor V3.6 !
i'm a small city guy, something along the lines of 250,000 plus will do. My wife Angel and three daughters Sierra, Malkyah and Amara are the greatest gifts i've ever received outside of the grace of God. About me, hmmm... i live to create art, poems, dance, drama, music, paintings, and to support others that do as well. He is the greatest artist, the greatest Creator and we at best replicate the ultimate talent of He. I like to take chances to live by faith and not by the blinding reality of the waves of negativity. Grow... live...love...
