EVERYBODY LOVES RAY...

About Me

Yeah, so, I'd say I was social, pretty intelligent, very driven, and kinda down-to-earth...contrary to popular belief I can be quiet...but don't let the smooth taste fool you...I can clown with the best of 'em...ask about me. hahaI've always tried to break barriers and stereotypes of any group I may be associated with...I think theoretical ceilings in social contructions are desperately handicapping.

If these things don't make sense to you, I probably won't make sense to you either...and that's ok. THERE ARE SOME FASCINATING PEOPLE IN THIS WORLD. SOME I HAVE YET TO MEET, OTHERS I HAVE ALREADY MET. THESE ARE THE FACES OF INSPIRATION.

Music:

I have a true passion for music. I used to play the piano, but gave it up for a less conventional instrument: the steeldrum (tenor pan)...
