About Me

Well, I am a poet, songwriter, loyal friend, brother, thrill seeker and dynamite lover. I enjoy writing and reading and spending time with friends. I love Kurt Vonnegut's books. Sirens of Titan is my favorite of all time. I was born in the south and I can't shake my roots. I don't watch TV at all. I love to play frisbee golf. I am a huge sketch comedy buff. I am also one of the biggest music geeks I know. Try me. I am slowly trying to work my way into the music scene of Omaha, which has been a hard thing for me to do over the years, but I'm not gonna give it up. I am a dreamer, I can't sit still ever. I think I have restless leg syndrome, and restless mind syndrome. I also am really into sandwiches and pop-tarts. Anyways, I want to get to know you. I hope you like my page. Peace.
