About Me

My 10th grade guitar teacher called me a "joker" and a "trouble maker". He's probably right on both accounts, in fact he is.
I've run out of ways to define myself really. I lack definition both in muscle tone and in character anymore. I feel like land kelp sometimes. That's right, land kelp. I probably used the term incorrectly...some aquatic ecology expert I turned out to be. I blame the school system of Texas...definitely a fair thing to blame.
I'm no writer, but I went to college to be one. I forgot how somewhere along the line. I'm going to go to law school, but am not sure if I'll become a lawyer. Over the last year, I've really gotten in to TV series. I hadn't really watched much TV for about 6 or 7 years...and am trying to catch up on things. I don't know why that's important, but I guess it's pretty prevalent in my life these days.
I work at a hardware store. It's hard work, but it's fun work. Cool people. That kind of thing.

I wrote a lot on pieces of scrap paper today, kind of just jumbled words together and put the pieces of what I was saying in different places.  Some somewhat interesting things resulted.  W...
