About Me

It is always a good time cuz that is just plainly how I roll, ya hear. There will be mild philosophy, art criticing, and musical discusion, not to mention intense theological versus spiritual point counter point. I have a wonderfully painted group of colorful friends from all around the world yet am always looking for new like-minded individuals. Spend time with us and you will see. Peace and chicken grease is what I live by, yet I have a weak stomach for real. You cant spell relaxation, sorrow, joy, or inspiration without the word JAZZ. I also recommend strutten down the streets of NYC and Jersey City for that matter while listening to funk. Any 70s Herbie hancock will do. I believe the children are our future, teach them well and let them lead the way, then when we are old and dependent on depends they will take care of us and wipe our asses. I teach art to Preschool kids right now and it is such a fulfilling job. If you enjoy jamming with musical instruments stop by sometime or invite me over. Art is just as fun as farts but without the "F and S". I am originally from Texas so get over it and lets get it on. I am well travelled yet I have a poor sense of direction. I do believe in the Holy Trinity but dont hold that against me and lets talk about it before you count me out. Has your mind and heart been opened today?

Television:

Television I think is the root of all evil when it comes to wasting your time when you should be doing your craft. Even if you use it for inspiration or to wind down it is still slowly sucking the life out of all of us. On a lighter note...

Blue Like Jazz, The Bible
