Happy endings are stories that haven't finished yet.

About Me

I am in love with my best friend, Alisha, and I've never been so happy in my life. She has really helped me through a ton and I would not be the person I am without her. An unconditional love is something that every soul longs for and I am so amazed that I have found it in her.

Clean socks without holes are like gold to me.

hmm... I've been playing music (drums, guitar, piano, vocals) for 15 years. I teach private drum lessons. I play in a minneapolis local band,Thru The Static (formerly Discombobulated). I'm almost finished with my Music Business degree at McNally Smith College of Music in St. Paul and I pretty much hope to become a Professional Rock Star. :)
