About Me

Ive got big dreams. Many people think that Im crazy. I dont stop at no. But, I am getting older, and therefore, wiser. I know how to tell myself no. I learn by doing. My greatest passion is music. I never want to overcome the guitar, yet always get better. I am flattered that I can still be the topic of conversation amongst people whom I have not been associated with for some time. I believe the most powerful thing I have is patience. My favorite sound in the world is a dobro. My favorite smell: vanilla. My favorite thing to touch: coffee beans. I wish I had more time to be outside. I love waterfalls because theyre never the same. I love front porches, for no particular reason. And I love driving; it opens my mind. I dont fear the law, I just try and avoid it. I take pride in who I am. I want to meet everyone, because Ill take something from them, whether it be positive or negative. If gas prices werent so high, Id spend more money on things I dont need. I only like it to rain when I can play in it. I want to play music for free, for everyone. Life is wearing me thin, and I'm broke, but won't break; may just bend a little.
