somedays i'm the spider, somedays i'm the fly, most days i'm the web

About Me

a student of all things art, i find myself influenced more and more by the thoughts and ideas of others, as well as the context of everything around me. you may sometimes find me unaware of a conversation that involves me, because i'm more interested in the tiny details of my surroundings. i subconciously focus on the little things, uncontrollably becoming aware of the inference that makes up my case in life. i tend to see more peripherally than i do in front of my face. occasionally i wonder if this means i'm a little insane, but my justification is that i'm walking a fine line for creativity. my birth and heritage have blessed me with a non-conformist viewpoint and a significantly genuine angle. the mundane bores me to the core, as it should and i try to surround myself with gifted and unique influences. friends, cultural interests, and intellectual stimuli bend and shape what i deem important to me. somedays i'm the fly, somedays i'm the spider, and most of the time i'm the web. i'm becoming somebody, until then i'll it keep to myself. eventually you can read all about me. and even then, i'll still keep to myself.

My Interests
