About Me

It was like i just jumped! and the world got swallowed whole, and i just never landed - Me (My life story for you)********************************************* *********************************************I can't say i'm the most upbeat guy in the world but i like my taste in life. I recently moved to Oslo Norway to live with my girlfriend Elin and we're doing really well! I love Music, playing guitar, reading, photography, travelin', films. My most favourite musician of all time is Bob Dylan, he has put a huge influence on my life and kinda created this musical map to where i wanna get to! and i'm real happy now so i think i'm doing something right :) Well please enjoy my profile as it's always coming right from this heart of mine.*********************************************
