Well, in short... I'm a balance of many things, pretty much a walking contradiction... I'm as serious as I am fun. I'm as artistic as I am logical. I'm as original as I am traditional. I'm a child just as much as I am a man. I write with passion, but hate the process. And I'm a city boy with a heart in the mountains. I try to be simple and love life for all it has to offer!
In other words... music courses through every fiber of my being, art colors my eyes with brilliant bursts of life, words play little puzzles in my mouth, love caresses my every touch, passions rage through my veins like a billowing inferno, and the curiosities of life rattle in my brain all the time.
"I was born with a passion for contradiction. My whole life has been nothing but a series of dismal, unsuccessful attempts to go against heart or reason."
~Mikhail Yurevich Lermontov~
Nineteenth century Russian poet and author
" A writer is a person for whom writing is more difficult than it is for other people."
~ Thomas Mann ~
German writer; awarded the 1929 Nobel Prize in literature
"We live in deeds, not years: In thoughts not breaths; In feelings, not in figures on a dial. We should count time by heart throbs. He most lives Who thinks most, feels the noblest, acts the best."
~ Aristotle ~
"Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail."
~ Ralph Waldo Emerson ~
Ok, I forgot something. Honestly, it's actually really important in defining myself, in defining who I really am!
Who I really am is nothing more than just a child of God, a man of His teachings, a believer of the Word, a man in search of what is TRUE, a lover of His creation, a hopeful son, a grateful human being
I am a man wanting to share all that is He!
And to be totally straight forward right now, that's what life is all about for me! Continually becoming someone that shares God by nothing other than just being His child... being me! It really is the greatest, most calming, and most fulfilling thing to know that I can share with someone the love, the peace, and the truly deep fulfillment that I have in my life because of Him!
To all of you... my friends, acquaintances, and in general. I hope that you too can feel this peace and joy. Truly and honestly...
God's peace to you all!
