About Me

this is the myspace page. i rarely use it, but keep it up for those of you who still want to know whats happening in my life. so from now on, this thing will be slightly pared down. i dont want to divulge too much on these things anymore. my life is moving along, which is what it should be doing, and i hope to continue in my progression. i learn something new every day, which is what my mom said would happen, not all of it is worth talking about, but once in a great while i have an epiphany. i hope to keep living simply, and in community, and i hope to be challenged in the path that lies before me, i am certain that i will. bless you all.
