I am here for Networking

About Me

alt="MySpace Layouts" border="0" />love yourself enough to teach yourself. without the first song, there will not be a second. live every day like your last. it just might be. live as if you'll die tomorrow, dream as if you'll live forever. you only get what you give, so give what you expect to get. those who matter don't mind, those who mind don't matter... take the time to read in between the lines. if you don't, it's only your loss. "you have to be yourself. be very honest with who and what you are. if people still like you, thats fine. if they don't, thats THEIR problem", those who wander are not always lost. never look down on anyone, unless you're helping them up... you deserve what you tolerate... those who mind don't matter, those who matter don't mind...i'd like to meet anyone with their head screwed on straight. talented artists, photographers, models, graphic and fashion designers, makeup artists, hairstylists, clothiers, and anyone interested in creating beautiful work together. i love meeting and collaborating with new people, sharing ideas, communicating with like minded people just as well as different minded people.i don't really consider myself an artist. i do what i love, and sacrifice a lot to do so. i believe in living in, and capturing, the moment. i believe that you should enjoy life 110% and you are cheating yourself every minute you don't. i have been called an intense person, but never in a bad way. i believe that, if you are going to do something, you do it all the way, or you don't waste your time. that applies to friendships, business partnerships and whatever else.i'm not going to put photos of my car, or my house or any of that up here. it's not the place... i don't believe i have a place for that period. when you're green you grow, and when you're ripe you rot, so if you're here to teach me, and you have something i can learn from, i'm all ears. no one knows everything, especially not me. i've been a lot of places and done a lot of things, but a lot of people have done a lot more.

Movies:

you can never see enough.like this:

Television:

sometimes.

Books:

everyone writes one every day. your job is to put the most interesting stories in it, make it to a happy ending, with chapters full of things people would want to read about, and devoid of dull moments. we never see the bad times in a photo album, but the hard work and dedication gets us from page to page. but, if you're really interested... pick up between the sheets, volume one. 1000WORDS:MUSICFORTHEDEAF and the upcoming "lastofjohnknappe".

Heroes:

Moonie, first and foremost. Kevin Bohannon. Millie Knappe. Esther Johnson. Linda Curry. People that lived right up until their dying breath helping others be better people, helping the less fortunate, putting aside the material for what really matters. I'm not too religious of a person, but these are my guardian angels. my everyday heroes are people who make a modest living doing what they love, with disregard to fame, fortune or other people's opinions.

so, since the launch of my little label "SWEET LEMON PUBLISHING", i've come to understand why people don't like this job... there's a lot to learn. there's a lot to do. there's a lot of tedious things...
