my name means man of red earth it also means emo

About Me

i comprise 50% of "Take It From So", in which i play guitar,
listen to our raw & self-recorded demo @ http://purevolume.com/TakeItFromSo .we're proudly acoustic & so emo (sshhh)
i enjoi the beach @ night, while making out makes my stomach really nervous.
randomly, i am a huge dork & know Pi to atleast the 14th decimal (it's probably 16, but i'm not gonna tell you that).
my Dad calls me “Charlie” & my Sister, Shanna says "your room smells like boy"; i don't mind b/c i don't even know what that means
i can't smell anything
notice everything
will never let you say "nevermind"
you may very well find me in public, playing “drums” on a desk or legs
my arm span is 6' tall (meaning i too should be 6')
i have more girl friends than guy friends
now i like to "talk things out"
i probably have OCD
for my 18th birthday i pierced my 'labret',
for my sisters' 18th birthdays, they got tattoos; they drew theirs themselves
if it had meaning, I’d get a tattoo; i'll draw it myself
i'm "shy"
but confident
i no longer have said labret
.srettel gnidnes evoL i
i tend to "over-analyze"
i believe in an after life.. or something else
organized religion.. meh (look @ the social context of when major religions were founded; it was a whole lot of political power struggle)
but i do believe in G-d & being just a good happy person
when i take my time, i like my handwriting.. a lot
i used to do 100+ pushups every night; I got lazy
i thrive on lively debate & love intelligent conversation
crossing “items” off post-it notes too
i'm a very good listener, so i've been told
an optimist
i smirk when awkward social context tells me I shouldn’t
TheGirlYouEnvy: adam can be spelled with an E
people should just be honest about their feelings: why do we lie to each other; we're just wasting time
somewhere throughout college, i've grown up a lot & i know it.
I’ve seen that our world is severely fucked up
But COLLECTIVELY we can do something about it
colorblind? yes
huge procrastinator... as you can see
my home friends & i roadtripped all 58 711s in our Nassau County many times, on free 711 slurpee day (every July 11th) http://Free711SlurpeeDay.tk
all i really want from life is to be truly Happy & truly in Love
Yes, money helps
i Love to see people laugh.
terrible at prank phone calls
can't keep a straight face
am Very Passionate
i love getting rid of coins in vending machines b/c i don't consider change money.. i did however watch an Oprah episode & she had a guy on who saved all his change whenever he broke a $1 & he's now a millionaire...
my lip quivers noticeably when i'm nervous & trying to be serious
i love 50 min train rides into NYC
I like to feel like the whole day is ahead of me; if I can first get up.
i have an abnormal ribcage
i can be very blunt & honest; i somewhat enjoi personal confrontation for the sole reason that everyone else hates it.. that in itself is enough to give you an upper hand
my room at home still has college applications/brochures on its floor
i love Girl s wearing my t-shirts.
i always wanted a lofted bed with a play area underneath, when i was younger, like a desk or a couch or fort
i mow my lawn
i spell 'enjoy' with an 'i'
Take a quiz: "What Kinda Kiss R U?" i'm apparently the Romantic Kiss
Lying in bed after making love and just doing whatever.

"Morning Dew" // Take It From So (Live on 22, April 2004)


Live video of Take It From So playing "Morning Dew" on April 22, 2004 at the Stanford Residential College talent show at the University of Miami.
we were freshmen
the shirt removal was a dare not caught on camera
& the last dramatic "now" of the song was cut off
because the camera battery died, but trust us, it was sang.
[lyrics]
I thought things were right,
they were tied, they were nice,
and questioned ground was not a path we would take anytime.
Maybe the light, or the night, or the four glasses of wine
got me thinking,
“How else could we get by?"
What if we had something there?
We could hold each other without fearing stares.
And You could tell all the girls You hang out with,
and I could write a song about it.
I’d constantly have my hand in yours,
You would smile and squeeze it when You felt it there.
We would lay under the stars Together,
Our foreheads touching, You’d make it better.
So hold the corners of my shirt,
let me take Your Eyes into my Heart.
There’s no median now,
and there’s no one around.
It will be fast and last forever,
it will make You believe in “never say never".
This is Beautiful,
let me Kiss You now.
