I am here for Friends

About Me

I'm a normal guy just trying to live life one day at a time, take things for what they are worth, good or bad. I've learned from everything that life has shown me, and I never take anything for granted. I have an A.S. degree in Business and I'm working on two degrees at Kean University. I am working towards majoring in Psychology and eventually getting my masters in Special Education. I managed Scottis Record Shop in Morristown for about the last 9ish years. I now work at the DLC in Warren which is a school for autism. I lived in Chatham for about a year and a half with two of my best friends, Frank and Bry. I moved back to Morristown to live with my girlfriend Kristin, whom I love dearly. She is the greatest part of me, I am the luckiest guy in the world because I have her in my life. She's the absolute best. I drive a toaster. I spend a lot of money on my cars and tattoos, but it makes me happy. I tend to repeat stories but that's just cause my short term memory is a little screwy. I've learned that there are things in life that you can't search for, they will find you in due time, and that whenever things happen, they tend to happen all at once and they happen for a reason. I love the people that surround me and I consider all of my friends family.
*We are all trapped in the prisons of the mind, it's a hard sensibility but we'll see it through in time, but when words come between us noiseless in the air, believe me I know it's easy to despair - don't. Tonight I'm talking to myself - there's no one that I know as well, thoughts collide without a sound, frantic fighting to be found. And I've found things in this life that still are real A remainder refusing to be concealed. And I've found the answer lies in real emotion Not the self-indulgence of a self-devotion.*
*I've met some people along the way, some of them split some of them stay, some of them walk some walk on by, I've got a few friends I'll love till I die. From all of these people I try to learn, some of them shine some of them burn, some of them rise some of them fall, for good or bad I've known them all. We live our life in our own way, never really listened to what they say, the kind of faith that doesn't fade away we are the true believers. Well you can fight or you can run, under a rock till the war is won, play it safe and don't make a sound, but not us we won't back down true believers all the way, you and I*

Trouble ahead?
