About Me

"You can't call me a starvin' A.R.T.I.S.T. if I feed my SOUL" -"Me"
"Some guys find 2 or 3 songs, I can't even find one GOOD song... ahh fuck it! i'm going to find 2 or 3 songs to play!" -"me"
"I listen, I vibe, I dance, I hear, I feel, and yet i still yearn to be MOVED" -"me"
Holding on to whatâ€™s left in my soul.
Beautiful Struggle? Truthfully that's my life... My life is a never ending struggle, but so beautiful at the same time. A contradiction. A never ending world of craziness, business, and questions. My life is abstrakt, I am abstrakt, my soul is abstrakt, my design is abstrakt, my love is abstrakt. Ponder the thought for a minute and it will all make sense. Finding peace is my journey, living life is my retirement. Deep conversations with a side of jokes are my joys, Music and Art are my affairs, making someone laugh, smile, and think are my loves, so to get to know me more, just ask... word? Word.
Can't deny my love for music.
Can't live without my art.
Can't survive without fun & jokes.
That visually summarizes my life... ya'dig? yesssssur!

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

God, whether or not i am alive or passed i would like to meet the man who gave me the power to think, breathe, and choose. Also people who could influence me in a positive nature, people who are able to understand this crazy life of mine and flow with it. I'm not very social, but i would like to meet a person who smiles, a person who laughs, a person who motivates, and a person who understands... i'm fortunate to have found people like that, so i guess its down to just meeting God, and my future...Also... Can't wait to meet my grandparents once again... I miss them.
