About Me

I love music, and the people who make it. My guitar can be my best and most reliable friend, a source of inspiration challenge, intimidation, and companionsip.My job inspires me....I hope you can say the same.I love exploring the world, or my own back yard. Discovering that the even the world of my own back yard is pretty amazing, and nothing like I expected it to be.California is fast, but I enjoy the view as it flies by. Im like, totally stoked on this place, and it's almoat starting to feel like home. I am well taken care of, whether I can admit I need it or not. I surround myself with people and places that challenge me. I love rediculosity, strategery, and new vocabulary. Hand-written letters from real-live friends. The first shower after a long camping trip. Yellow Volkswagens, organic produce, and people who can tell you exactly when it will be ripe. Vinyl (the kind you listen to with your friends, more so than the1970s upholstery). Being far, far away, but still knowing how to get back home. Red wine, local beer, and fondue. The secret ingredient. Life.I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4
