About Me

I am: a poet, a filmmaker (on hold), a brother, a friend, a dreamer, a lover, and a total mess.I believe in treating everyone with kindness and understanding, because we aren't here for very long. I believe in a love that most people think exists only in fairytales. I believe in honesty and loyalty. I have scars that won't seem to close. my medicine is writing and music. I am continually disappointed by the evils of mankind, though i believe in goodness and righteousness above all. I am a fool. I am self-destructive. I am hopeful and hopeless. I am confident and self-conscious. I am beyond understanding...even my own. I hate violence, though i will stand up for any cause that i think is just, no matter what the repurcussions. I am a broken-hearted comedian. I am honest to a fault. I both hate and love this life, which is why i am always so confused. welcome to my madness :)

My Interests

writing, music, video games, cartoons, *tattoos*, nintendo Wii, sleeping, making jokes about peoples moms (because they never get old), having a shitty/awesome car...and some other shit that i can't think of right now.

I'd like to meet:

all kinds of people...but I definitely don't want to meet Hitler, any member of the Bush family, or Pennywise from Stephen King's IT...that motherfucker is so goddamn creepy (especially when you are in kindergarden, and in a dark basement with a punk bitch named Michael Bristow).
