What to do....what to do????

About Me

i love life. most of my friends probably don't think i do, because of the way i complain about things, but i do. i give myself whole-heartedly to the people i consider my "friends", and it takes alot for me to consider someone a true friend, so the people that i do, are very dear to me.music is my life!!! if i couldn't be free to make it, i would probably be dead or in jail right now. that's the truth! i'm lucky to have been in a few bands in my time and am still in one right now. i am the lead singer of a band called the Echo Squad that has been together for the last 9 years. myspace.com/theechosquad. i also sang back-ups, and harmony vocals for a reggae band called the Five Ton Chicken. www.fivetonchicken.com I was in that band for about a year, from early 2004 til-mid 2005.i've been through alot of hard times, but i think i've come out a much stronger person having experienced them. although, i do feel at times that the weight of the world is going to crush me down.i feel as though i'm one of the unluckiest men when it comes to love, but still believe in it with all my heart when i choose to give it to someone.i'm a very determined person, never wanting to give up, i think there is a solution to all problems, just most people these days would rather walk away from harder situations in life, instead of work things out.

life's hard work, but it doesn't mean we can't have good times!!!!!
