About Me

music in my head, chilling, thoughts on scrap paper, seeing or talking with someone I love every day, walking and jogging,work(sigh), confusing people by smiling at them & then being overwhelmed when they return the smile, drawing, drinks, inks,watching buskers till they pack up, reading a good book 'till i fall asleep, oh, and playing my sax. i'd say i'm pretty happy with that.
