About Me

Hear: MY BLOODY VALENTINE - SOMETIMES______________Just one of 6.x billion people in the world with their own stories, own visions, own pasts, and soon to be futures. I find myself always looking for more, and never being satisfied with the results. I also find myself always looking for home, but never really finding that either. As soon as stagnation presents itself in my present situation, it's time to up and find a new situation to dwell in until that boredom finds me again....which it always will. But it's never a bad thing to try new scenarios all the time. What fun would life be if you never really get to experience all it can offer? As a result, however, nothing ever really feels like home and as soon as I start to feel a sense of belonging, then it's time to move on. This present chapter finds me living in Milwaukee, with my music project studio and plenty of time to reflect, write, and think without the insubstantial naggings that so many people in the world get consumed by. When will they ever have to time to really live life when they're always wrapped up in things that don't and won't matter in the big picture? Now I write my own music amidst capturing others' as well, so we'll have to see where this story takes me. I think I could stay here awhile. Still, I am just floating along a stream of consciousness and ambiguity, waiting for the next chapter to begin, not having a clue what kind of life-altering experiences might be contained within it's pages.....But I heard to never frown upon the past. To be painfully cliche, whatever happens in life, be it good or bad, if the most miniscule of things can be taken from that experience, it was all worth it.

Books:

Heroes:

Why not be your own hero? Then you can both set your own standards of perfection for yourself and seek to attain these standards. But perfection will never really be achieved as it is just redefined with every stride made towards it. Heroic to me is seeking out perfection in yourself knowing full well that you'll never completely attain it, but striving for it anyways. Always fighting even though you'll never fully win.
