Kokyo BuDo, DaiToRyu AikiJuTsu, NinPo Taijutsu, OKiNaWaTe, IaiDo, KempoChuan, ChinNa and QiGong. I enjoy teaching, writing and performing music, film making, loving and living.
My prayers have answers because of music.
Music effects how I perceive the world.
You may find me sitting somewhere doodling with a pencil and paper.
I find inspiration from
the elements,
literature,
mythology,
art,
music,
and love.
I express feelings through complexity and abstract ideas.
Death,
heart ache,
personal beliefs,
Violence,
and beauty also finds a place in my writing often.
Don't mistake my introverted nature for anything less than passion.
I enjoy life on multiple levels.
Fulfilling my life through everyday inspiration.
If there's a problem with me I set it aside quite nicely.
I don't deal with bullshit.
I wouldn't ever jeopardize anything I worked for in my life by wanting to attract negative influences.
I have boundaries and goals and a volume knob.
(this amp goes to eleven)
I believe in my family and friends.
Without them I'd be lost.
Without my love for them I'd be nothing.
I have a 6 year old daughter.
she's amazing.
I've practiced martial arts for more than 18 years.
It's become a major part of who I am.
I've wanted so much more out of life because of it.
It's also helped me overlook a lot of my flaws.
Sorry if I seem shameless...
I'm human.
No, really...
lol
I support local talent.
There's nothing as special as someone with a dream.
One of my dreams is see people accomplish their dreams.
If an artist has something truly unique to show the world they should NEVER give up.
"Calm the spirit and return to the source.
Cleanse the body and spirit by removing all malice, selfishness, and desire.
Be ever-grateful for the gifts received from the universe, your family, Mother Nature, and your fellow human beings."
- Morihei Ueshiba (Tsunemori)
“Music creates order out of chaos: for rhythm imposes unanimity upon the divergent, melody imposes continuity upon the disjointed, and harmony imposes compatibility upon the incongruousâ€
- Yehudi Menuhin
If you have not linked yourself to true emptiness
You will never understand
do not fail
to learn from
the pure voice of an
ever-flowing mountain stream
splashing over the rocks.
