I guess the whole world stopped using myspace and started using facebook.

About Me

I'm 23, and I'm heavily into Music, Photography and Creative Arts. I'm naturally creative, I'm a singer/songwriter/arranger of music and I love it. I love a good atmosphere, with good people. I've come to conclusion that I actually think differently than most people, this is why I'm misunderstood most of the time. I'm generally a joyous person who is kind, and easily able to get along with. I am not religious but I love God as best as I can. I really just want to love people and be loved. Good day.
