I write a lot of music and poetry. Every now and then I get into a drawing kick and I draw some of my old photos, or celebrities, or landscapes. It seems like every other week I want to be something different. I've been like that since I was five years old. Doctor, Astronomer, Painter, Athlete, Teacher, Musician, Archaeologist...the list goes on. I'm a wannabe freelance website designer. Very much so a wannabe, since i haven't designed anyone else's sites but my own.
First and foremost, I am a singer and a songwriter. I play piano and guitar. I started playing keyboard, teaching myself and watching my dad play at church, when I was little. But I started getting serious about writing when I was about 12 and began writing full songs, usually instrumental. So I've been writing my own music for ten years now. (Dang, pretty scary, no?) I picked up the guitar Christmas of '03, I believe. I've written so many songs that I've already forgotten a couple dozen and the rest that aren't complete are sloppy/choppy. It happens. Okay...that's all I'm gonna write for now. I'll edit later. A lot
