I love exploring and discovering what I think is truly beautiful in life, in every aspect imaginable. This probably explains a bit of my political perceptions
Accountability.
I like people like my music: Honest, original, smart, brave, contagious, & raw.
Also, anyone who reaffirms my belief in letting the beauty we love be what we do. There are hundreds of ways to kneel and kiss the ground.
I support these organizations whole-heartedly:
Skins. Pipes. Licks. Riffs.
