I'll be what ever I wanna do. =]

About Me

Lookin' out over yonder mountain
Lookin' out over waves of grain
Lookin' out across the prairie
Lookin' out at an endless chain
Lookin' out at the wide open spaces
Lookin' out at the valleys below
Lookin' out with a hungry perspective
Lookin' out with the will to know

The waters led to the promised land
Seeds of greed washed upon it's shore
White footprints in the settling sand
Brought the ways of the ignorant man

See a train trace the horizon
See this ridge trace these lanes
See this wheel turn in direction
See the wind in the rattlin' cane
See a face in the spirit of old
See the longhorn at home on the range
See the emptiness in searching for gold
See the beauty in the treasures we hold



    I think it'd be cool to see Carmen or Marriage of Figaro. =] I can train a dog. A lot of other things equally as cool.
