I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

I'm swimming through the chaos of my life, trying to find the surface and get a breath of air. With the whole world around me shaking and shifting I'm grateful to be anchored to my loving girlfriend and my responsibility as a proud father. I have a beautiful daughter named Mia that i adore, and a girlfriend that completes me.I embrace myself as an artist as a means of delving into my soul to sort through my demons and angels. I have a new-found passion for body art. Until recently my medium has been acrylic or charcoal on paper but, everyday i learn more about using skin as my paper and the machine as my pencil. I require a deep meaning to lie within all of my artwork which makes tattooing a great artform for me because tattoos are (for the most part) permanent so they should have meaning for the person recieving the art.I know that one day I will get out of this ocean of chaos and find some solid ground to build my family and my career. I believe everything happens for a reason and that i'm just following a path laid out for me by a higher power. My only guides are my intuition and my god given talents and with those I'll find my place.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Bill Hicks, Jesus Christ, Maynard James Keenan, and anyone who strives to experience their existence with wonder and bewilderment

We all possess an inner darkness in need of illumination.  A dark, unrevealed and unknown aspect of our psyche that pulls us into despair or discontentment.  We poke, prod, dig and tear to b...

A poem I wrote quite some time ago titled: "Masked Love"

You were wearing a mask when I met you  |  With shimmering eyes, smiling all the time  |  I wish you didn't wear that mask when I met you. You were wearing a mask while I loved you...

serve and protect

i think officers of the law have lost sight of the heart and spirit of their role in society.  More often than not do officers do things that are in no way serving nor protecting anyone!  Li...
