About Me

I have been playing the electric guitar for 8 years now. It is my favorite instrument. I play guitar a lot, but I still wish I had time to play more often. I am a musician and music is my love.
I have a Michigan Barber's License.
I attend Lansing Community College as a Media Technology major. This is my 4th year there and I am determined to get that associates degree. It took me 2 years just to decide what I want to do.
I still live at home with my mom. It sucks. As soon as I'm done with all of my college, or when I start making money, whichever comes first, I'm getting my own place!
Note: Just so all of my friends know why I take so long to e-mail them back, the reason is that I like to take my time and put a lot of thought in what I write back, also I'm a pretty busy person.
