About Me

I am Eric Patrick Yee Mercado, I am not defined by what I do or what I have. I am only defined by how I have grown and how I have learned from the past. I am one that is called stranger where I currently reside but not for long. Things change. People change. I will always be my self with my own set of ideas and creativity but I am also willing to subject to change because it is eternal.I'm an everyday person. I live my seemingly normal life like everyone else. In truth, my life isnt so normal. I'm a theater actor, a singer, a guitarist, drummer, vocal percussionist, a writer; I'm an artist. That is what makes my life not so normal. I'm a guy that has been through a lot. I've had his fair share of women, hurting them and in turn, getting hurt myself. I am also a guy who learns on his own but sometimes needs help from my friends. I'm someone who always looks at the brighter side of things and never wants to see the darker side. I'm a dreamer. Because of this, people judge and think of me the wrong way. They think that I never want to take responsibility and that all I want to do is play. Its not that I'm not a bad person, I'm just different.Despite my shortfalls, I try my best to make people happy even if I don't have to. He wants to make the world a better place even if I cant. My life isnt perfect, nobody's life is. I wish, hope, fall, cry and suffer like everyone else. I'm unique in a way but really, I'm not that different compared to the rest. I'm still human after all...http://www.eric-is-neon.blogspot.comhttp://www.myspace .com/noideagoodbye
