WEST HAM UNITED FOOTBALL CLUB

About Me

I gravitate towards chaos. I want to create order out of chaos. I find chaos beautiful. That is why music is my life. Its all a mess isn't it? I live my dream. The dream is not real unless you bleed for it. I bleed every day. I love my friends dearly and would do anything for them. You know who you are.... ************************************************************ *****************************"The mistake you always made, Doc, trying to love a wild thing. You were always lugging home wild things.... You mustn't give your heart to a wild thing. The more you do, the stronger they get until they're strong enough to run into the woods or fly into a tree, and then a higher tree, and then to the sky..." - Holly Golightly
