About Me

I live to play music. I love it. And quite honestly if you can't play live then why bother! (although one of my cds is strictly studio work, layering...hehehe!) I do have a deep respect for anyone with a music addiction. I do professional photography on the side as well. My 6 year old is my favorite little model. ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ---------------------------- My dream is to share my music with the world---and I'm going to do it. ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ---------- I love nature. I can't be away from the ocean for too long or I go nutty. I have a general love for life and very much believe in "paying it forward". Karma is real and I prefer the good kind. Besides, if you can make someone's day be better, then why not? I like real people, as plastic personalities are of no use to me. :) ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------- I am currently going to school to become a Botanist. I'd also like to minor in Alternative Energy.----------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------ ---------------- Interests... hmmm... anything in the ocean, skim-boarding, boogie-boarding, (don't surf cause I can't swim well. I know the irony!), uh, music of all sorts, hiking, singing, playing, listening, watching nature at it's best and worst, writing, fires on the beach, good company, making new drinks, woodworking, painting, drawing, sculpting, photography of all kinds. Tattoo Artistry---just beginning :) Love it, love it, love it! Check out my pics for the tatts done so far... I love being outside, watching stars from night to night, studying their patterns. I am a Bellydance Instructor and Choreographer. It's a beautiful form of expression and it keeps me in shape! I love playing music, being on stage and baring my soul. .. I'm always working on my house, whether it be painting, flooring, welding(haha) anything to make my environment peaceful. I enjoy being hectic but I love doing absolutely nothing once in awhile. And no matter how busy I get, I always make time for the ones who make me happy. the ones that make me smile... you know who you are!-------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------ -----------------------------------------------and now for the shameless self-promotion....
