Through shitty days we can only learn what trully makes us smile

About Me

I'm a graphic designer/ artist who needs a change of environment constantly to increase my inspiration & motivation. I love to meet new people, love to make them smile...coffee shops are where I usually go for that. Let's just say I sold my soul to coffee a long time ago... Myspace Layouts For Girls

My Interests

painting, drawing, collecting Stars Wars stuff, viewing the world focusing on one detail at a time to recognize its beauty, meeting new people especially at the local coffee shops, comedy...I can't live without it...I'm serious...life is better once you feel you can laugh at yourself!

Music:

gotta love the music...depends on the way I feel...for drawing & painting, I go for something where you can feel the music rather than know the feeling the words project, like Bjork, Radiohead or Hunz! Though, their lyrics are incredible too! When I'm feeling depressed or angry, I go for some angry chick rock. But I absolutely love the doors, they are very poetic by the way. The beatles just make me feel happier and I just want to get up and dance! Styx is all around awesome in concert...so are the Moody Blues. Also like the black crows, jefferson airplane, stevie nicks, dirty three, bright eyes, REM, beck, modest mouse-poetically & philosophically amazing, b-52's-fun..fun..fun, veruca salt, radiohead, bjork, weird al, smashing pumpkins, dropkick murphey's, pennywise, morningwood, regina spektor, green day, nirvana, red hot chili peppers, cake, yeah yeah yeahs, muse
