Billy (uses Facebook...find him there) :-D

..Welcome. I'll start off by letting you know that my name is Billy and that I am a 21-year-old male from a suburb of Seattle known as Lynnwood, Washington. I've lived here my entire life and I don't think I'll be moving any time soon. I suppose that the most important information I should let you in on is that I am a Christian. When I say that I am a Christian I don't mean I was born into a Christian family, or that I just really like the idea of being a Christian. I mean that I have made a personal and very intimate choice to accept Jesus Christ as my savior. If you don't understand what that means you can feel free to ask me, I won't be offended or think you're weird. I won't try to brainwash you either! A lot of people get the idea that "religious" people are all weird and are obsessed with some odd idea about blind faith. Well, I am weird, but I don't live a life based on blind faith. I believe there is very good evidence for my beliefs and I'd be happy to explain if you care to know. I believe strongly in the power of true love. I'm not talking about some romantic infatuation (which A TON of people mistake as true love), but about real love. I believe in caring about the well being of others and acting on that care. I certainly haven't perfected this yet, but it is something I plan on striving for for the rest of my life. The next thing I want to talk about here is MUSIC. This is a huge part of my life. I enjoy listening to music thoroughly and I also love making it. I play the guitar, and I like to dabble in singing, playing drums, playing piano and doing a few other things. I've been promising to people for a while that I'll put a song up on the internet, and I promise that I will as soon as I have the ability to make a good recording! I can record music now, but the mic I have now distorts like crazy. Creating music is something I am absolutely sure I will do for the rest of my life. I love that feeling I get when I write something that actually sounds pretty good to me. I wouldn't say I am the supreme musician or anything, but I am willing to admit that I am good enough to get by. Of course, I give God and genetics all the credit for any talent that I might have. Like I said, I also love listening to music. At this very moment I am listening to "Holly Wood Died" by Yellowcard. It's a great song and I love the band. I've been listening to them for quite a while now and I have always appreciated this bands awesome musicianship. I am also in love with their current tour-mate, Mae, and many of Mae's label mates (such as Emery, Anberlin, Further Seems Forever, Etc.). I also can't get enough of Anadivine, The Rocket Summer, Cartel, and all those great bands over at The Militia Group. Another group I am very into is Nickel Creek. Lately I've been very surprised that some people I know actually know who they are. That might be a silly thing to be surprised by, considering they won a Grammy last year (or maybe it was the year before?). The reason it is surprising is because they are typically known as a bluegrass/folk band. They actually overlap a bunch of different genres, but I would generally just describe them as a strings-based acoustic band (minus the drums...duh). Anyone who likes acoustic music should love them. They are easily in a class of their own. Well, I could go on forever about this kind of stuff, so I better try to slow down now. I guess that the only other thing that I would want to throw in here is that you can feel free to send me a message. I'd prefer it if you let me know your name, age, and any other good info about yourself if I don't know you. I don't discriminate against peeps, I just like to know who I'm talking to. Anyway, check the blogs and I'll try to keep this thing interesting! Peace_______________________________________________________ _______________________Oh wait...Before I go. I want to let you know what my (old) quote, "Live to love to love to live" means. It simply means that if you want to love to be alive, if you want to be happy in this life, you have to live a life of love. Live to love....to love to live? Get it? It could very well be the most important thing you've ever learned. I hope you think about this carefully. It can really make a huge difference in your life.------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ----------------------------------------------- Live To Love To Love To Live~!
