I am only an egg.

About Me

i believe in honesty i believe in art i believe in the paranormal and many things that exist whether one believes in it or not. i believe in music i believe in the amalgamation of all religions into one. i believe in observing and doing instead of dreaming. i believe in knowledge and aquiring strange truths. i believe in the soul and i believe that there are infinite ways to enter heaven/nirvana/void of clear light and all are the correct true path. i believe in challenges and hardships in order to make me a better person. i believe in creation and constantly creating. i believe in friendship and trust and giving to those in need and using ones knowledge to help people.I am an artist and a musician. sometimes i post a painting or more of mine on my page. sometimes i take them off. so watch out for my stuff. if you want to see more than i have up email me at [email protected]. msn = [email protected] aim = naughtderek yahoo = peripheryof9
