I'm interested in all things beautiful...music, poetry, art, people, life...there is beauty all around you, but the sad, sad shame of life is that most people are too blind, scared, or jaded to see it... But I say this: open your eyes and your mind to all of the beauty that life has to offer while you can still appreciate the moment... you'll be thankful for it later...

Only person that I would REALLY wanna meet would be Jesus Christ...everybody else, I'll meet if life says we're destined to meet
