I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

i am a sober alcoholic. I go to community college for music/journalsim. My passions in life are playing guitar, composing and performing spoken word poetry, and being the best friend I can. "Life," is, if "life" means a series of obligations meted out to me indiscriminately by the powers that be, an unbearable bitch. Thankfully, sometimes in the midst of gargling the juices of this 'orrible cunt, I remember that I have a deep and unending capacity to love, beyond the mortuous rigors of daily life. __________________________________________________ I urge everyone reading this to find peace within themselves. Fuck the finger. Don't miss all the heavenly glory.______________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________

My Interests

staying sober, playing guitar, writing raps, following a spiritual path to the best of my ability, helping other alcoholics achieve sobriety, getting tatooed and pierced, educating myself about politics, history, art, music, anything to do with expression. I love to travel, and experience other cultures. I love the outdoors, mountains, woods, deserts, plains, all of it. Put me outside on a warm day to explore and you've given me contentment.

I gotta shout out J-Bones cause even tho he offed himself in doing so he watered a seed of sanity planted in me awhile ago I didn't even kno was there. I thank him every day for helping me see sobriety as a way out of bein a fuckin statistc. But we need to stop killing our selves NOW!

With a grain of salt or two

Are my talents still somehow subpar? Can I be gallant as I gallop away from the bar? Have I lost balance with the impatience I paid for with scars? Sometimes, all this ubiquity seems like a clusterfuc...
