About Me

Just got to Chicago. I moved here from a small town in Mississippi. I'm a musican and at the moment have plenty of free time for the ladies. I'm pretty sweet, I'm not gonna lie. Ask Jesus, he'll tell you.

My Interests

"The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, but wiser people so full of doubts." Lord Bertrand Russell
"I’m interested in going past whatever my thing happens to be. I want the music to be playing me. I want to get so deep inside each other, and so deep inside the spirit, that something else is in control and we’re just riding the wave." John Frusciante

I'd like to meet:

Van Gogh, Paul Pena, or any other starving artist who never really had an audience that would listen or watch. Anyone with a good heart and a passion in life.

Movies:

Shit... I spend my whole life watching movies so I'd probably fill this up and then come back and edit it everyday. I like movies with plots, movies without plots. I like old movies, new movies. I like movies with passionate directors, producers and actors behind them. If a movie makes me forget the monotony that sometimes is life, then I'll probably appreciate it. If a movie reminds me of the monotony of life, I'll probably appreciate it. Any recommendations? Im all ears...

Books:

Don't read as much as I should but here's a favorite quote of mine for you to read... When I open my eyes, I can only sigh, for what I see is contrary to my creed: and I must despise the world for not perceiving that music is a higher revelation than any wisdom or philosophy. It is the wine that inspires new creations, and I am the Bacchus, who presses out this wine for men, and makes them spiritually drunk; when they are sober they bring to shore all kinds of things which they have caught. God is nearer to me than to others. I approach him without fear, I have always known him. Neither am I anxious about my music, which no adverse fate can overtake, and which will free him who understands it from the misery which afflicts others. Ludwig Von BeethovenTru dat ludwig, tru dat...

Heroes:

Stevie Ray Vaughan, my dad, the disabled guy who loaded groceries at whole foods when I was 10. Anyone who gives their everything to what they love and know regardless of how others view them. People who love until it hurts then come back to give some more. My heroes are everywhere.
