I am here for Friends

About Me

I got myspace to have access to certain independent artists, but it has been great to keep in touch with friends, to meet some new people, and get to know about more musicians who aren't easily available outside.So, now that I use it more, I see my profile looks quite empty without this "about me" part, so here goes whatever I can think about myself at the moment:I am Alex... I like music and other forms of art. They can get to acheive very much in the seemingly simplest ways... I somewhat play the guitar, but I'm not good... I've been in missions with Ywam and have really enjoyed those times ... I just graduated and don't know what's gonna happen with me these next years.. I believe in God so my life is pretty much centered around that, or that's what I want it to be, that's where I have found most freedom. I dont necessarily expect others to believe in God because I probably wouldn't if I hadnt experienced Him, but I still seek to be able to efficiently express whatever truths I feel I have experienced, be them directly about God or not. ...that is more or less what I can come up with right now...

My Interests

people, music, missions, movies, books, and I would say different forms of art (not for the sake of whatever is different, but for what it could achieve as a product that has its own beauty and power of expression. I believe art is one of the best ways to express to the human mind even the most seemingly irrelevant truths as what they really are beyond the possible mathematics behind them), ....
