paint in my hair, singing, scrawling poetry, red wine, making things, hemp, skirts, jamming in my quasi-band, singing, guitar, video games, comic books, finger paint, body art, synthesis, irish pride, discovering new bands, rediscovering old ones, reinventing things and finding the good in the bad, the moment when the music hits you just right, that perfect chord, fingertips, liquor, secrets and whispers, the glow from alarm clocks in dark rooms, subversive tact, creative plays on words, tongue twisters, thinking I'm in love, late-night car rides, storytelling, cutting my hair, crushes, steam,

I love to perform. I hope that one day you will see my face under the lights of Broadway.
and if not that, you'll see my name in the lights of a ticketmaster, heading an electronica/alternative rock/indie fusion band, rocking the shit out of millions of fans.

I admire individuality, but not at the sake of intelligence. Sacrificing one's interests in order to be different or trendy is not only lame, but sad. Don't change who you are for anyone but yourself, and always strive for self-improvement.
Artists and musicians will always maintain a superior status in my eyes. Dali and The Beatles are otherwordly manifestations of soul and spirit. You can't do things as they did if you lack inspiration. Be real. Be Raw.
Ultimately, be yourself and let go, and you'll be someone's hero. Maybe even mine.
