Life is what you make it, and nothing more.

About Me

I'm a fairly positive person. I know what I want and I do what's necessary to make it a part of my life.. You only get one time around.. why have regrets when you reach the end of it? I love music above almost everything else. I'm addicted to it.. that and the internet. I play the guitar and piano/keyboard. Talking to reasonably intelligent people or people that just blow my mind makes me really happy.. Drop me a line..I am you. I am also me. I am unique by the virtue of being one of the innumerable combinations of MEMEs, influences, genes, and thoughts that exist in the tangible and intangible universe. I am as devoid of uniqueness as everyone else in that the ideas which molded my psyche were derived from the external world we all inhabit. Nothing new here. Some aspect of myself might simply seem new because it's a synthesis of ideas you are unfamiliar with.This quote and the poem tattooed on my back describe me best. "Man is the only animal that laughs and weeps, for he is the only animal that is struck with the difference between what things are and what they ought to be." -William Hazlitt

Speed of thought
