About Me

I am a musician looking for myself in the minds of others. Music is my first love, unchanging. I play bass, upright, a little cello (just for fun), and I dabble on piano, guitar, and mandolin...you name it, I know it or I'll learn it. I've been writing songs for a while, and maybe someday I'll be comfortable enough to share them with the rest of the world!...
I like to think I'm a very complex and complicated person, but nobody really ever takes the time to see that. Needless to say, I keep my space.
I am a serious dater. I don't believe in one-nighters. I look for somebody who I can be totally captivated by, but I don't think I've found her yet. So until then, I keep writing, and trying to focus on what I believe my true calling is.
I goof off a lot, I love doing crazy things, and hanging out with my friends. I'm easily duped by the opposite sex, and it sucks. I am a bit nerdy, but I just choose to believe that it adds to my originality. I play at church every Sunday, probably thanks to my conscience weighing me down. I'm very shy, believe it or not. I have some trust issues with people, so it takes a while to get to know me. I have a very technical mind, and I am confident I can fix anything I need fixed. I'm very selective, about everything (call it creative passion), and I've even been called a "music snob," but what I like is undeniably great in every aspect. I work hard, play harder, and try to enjoy every minute of every day that God gives me.

Just when I think I can't handle anymore. You know, life has a funny way of beating me when I am absolutely as beat down as I can possibly be. It's as if everything happens to me at once. And when it ...

An advantage...

Have you ever had somebody that you just take advantage of? A friend, willing to lend an ear, a family member who always seems to be there, a loved one who has become your coping mechanism? What if yo...

Christmas...

It's Christmas eve. I'm never prepared for it. The spirit of Christmas that I try to embody is overwhelmed by the commercialism of a society that seems to have lost the true meaning of Christmas. It w...

Can I censor my feelings?

Can a man honestly censor his feelings? So long have I been told what to do, what to believe, that when I finally stand on my own two legs, I am not as sturdy as I had hoped I would be. I feel as if I...

Why not?

So, I haven't posted one of these in a while. I felt like I needed to write. The inner workings of a madman, a clock showing gears. I just wanted to really express my deepest thanks for a God that kee...

There are times in my life when I just feel unsure about everything placed before me. I understand that beggars can't be choosers, but at some freakin point, a decision has to be made. This is getting...

Because I can't find sleep

As I sit here on this sleepless night, I begin to think about all that has occurred in the past month. I think about the major changes that have struck chords in my life. I think about all the friends...

Na na na na Dangerous...

Somebody asked me what the most dangerous thing I've ever done was. As I sit here on the laptop pondering the answer to that question, I realize: I'm probably going to get skin cancer while I'm thinki...

I studied the tigers

So last night, for the umpteenth night in a row of not being able to sleep, I went through my books. I had forgotten about the time in my life, growing up, when I wanted to work with animals. I found ...
