LIFE IS A CARNIVAL

About Me

Hey fellow friends and family , Im not really a band ,I left the remnants of them in new orleans 8 months ago. Im a 32 year old single acoustic solo singer, songwriter,guitar player, story teller, poet, joker,romantic, future psychic and artist, love herbalism ,rain, heineken, kava, juicing, making folks smile, funny stuff, dancing like a wild hienna(its better than morphine Ihave been taking a break from performing to just write,write,write. Im introverted and extroverted all at the same time. I love to read maps ,landscape, cook, travel to far way lands. I am at a crossroads and in a weird way like not knowing what the future holds. I believe that less is more and dont waste my time in the dis~art of consumption unless it is music. I always like me something new and different. Im tired though, need sleep...Ill come up with something more interesting probably in 2008. .. MYSPACELAYOUTSPY CODE START --
