My heart while in its cage, is used to give and not receive a thing, But the only funny thing is tha

About Me

Here we go.. For almost 4 years I owned a faux finish company. Two years ago I received several national awards for my work as a decorative painter. So naturally I decided the next logical thing to do was to get out of the business. Most people thought I was crazy for it, but the job I had always said was my dream job opened up and I had to take it. I don't think I could have lived with myself if I hadnt' at least tried it out.Well as my close friends know, I tried it, it didn't work out, so now I'm back at what I'm good at.Other than that I like art, photographry design and anything like that. Music is always good as well.

I edited my profile with Thomas’ Myspace Editor V3.6 !

My Interests

anything to do with art. Going to openings, museums, you name it. I love to people watch, and would love to find a way to get paid to do it. Reading, movies, live music, and probably some that I can't remember.

I'd like to meet:

Dave Matthews Band. Mostly Dave, but the whole band would be even better. Their music has done more for me then anyone will ever know. Enough to warrent getting some of the lyrics inked onto my body.. width="425" height="350" ..

Music:

pretty much anything but country, unless its really old country. DMB is my fav. then anything from opera, musical, jazz, hip-hop, etc. Mostly anything mellow at this tme. Too much stress in my life, so mellow keeps me even.

Movies:

anything 80's is outstanding. After that, I can handle just about anything. I was'nt into horror at all until about 2 years ago when I met this girl that used to be a part of my life. She got me hooked. Chick Flicks are OK if I'm actually with a girl.

Television:

i've become a reality tv junkie.

Books:

I am currently reading 2 Very good books on time management/organization/inner peace. There is also yet another etiquette book to start when I’m done with these. (You can never learn too much) A wine book and a few architectural books as well. Not nearly as boring as it may sound.

I think it is time

...to once again assume the role of bad boy.   It seems the shittier someone gets treated, and the more they are disrespected, the more attached they get.   This has been proven by...

beauty

They say that beauty is only skin deep.  I believe that beauty is all things.  Mind, body and spirit.   There are many people who have ugly minds, or a spirit that is ugly. No matter ...
