It's really not that complicated

About Me

Welcome to my page. It's not much at the moment, but it's nothing a little time and elbow grease can't cure. I'm an open book and 800 pages long. I want to make big changes and enjoy the little things in life. My passions are martial arts, music, writing and getting the most out of life. Concert tickets, a solid wit, a good meal and good conversation win me over pretty easily. For a realist, I'm kind of a romantic.. or the other way around. I'm a poet/publisher, but would also like to act, direct, play guitar in a band, pursue music production and maybe teach (I plan to be busy for the next 30-40 years). Setting and achieving my goals is important to me, but I love to have fun as well. Inspiration and impulse live in my soul, but I try to keep the latter in check ;) I'm ambitious, driven, creative, passionate, compassionate, sarcastic, a bit wild at times, introspective, a lover and a fighter, can be a bit of a bookworm, and sometimes confusing. I prefer stand-up to most comedy movies, but there are a few I like. There's more, but I'm not typing 800 pages. If there's anything specific you want to know, say "aw" and words will fall out eventually.
Take the quiz: "What does your birth month reveal about you?"
