About Me

This is generally where somebody puts up something deep and profound about themselves. Or they put up something shallow about themselves. I really don't think I am very good at putting myself into words. I can write about music, or express my point of view through photography, and even vocally. However, when it comes to writing about myself it's nearly impossible with out being cliche and shallow. So, I decided you could judge for yourself what I am about. You can browse through my photos, read my blogs, check out my favorite bands, and see who I am friends with. In a way this defines me. At least to a point it does. The other half of me is my beliefs and faith. It is a very crude and imperfect faith but mine and me non-the-less. The third half of me is made up of my outlook, personality, characters and looks. What is the difference between this and my blogs, page, pics, tastes..etc? Well those are bi-products of who I am. They may only represent me partially, in a slightly skewed way, or they may be true to who I am.So that is me in the virtual world. The best way to get to know me is to talk with me and be around me. Just like any other human in the world, I enjoy good company.
