About Me

What do I say? How about, I get my inspiration for life through art, music, the people I surround myself with, my family, and my spirituality. Other than that, I just try to live life the best I know how. Very often the best I know, isn't the best. I'm still learning, and will be until the day I die. Without a constant effort to improve myself, I run the risk of becoming the person I have put so much effort into not being. If I can succeed at becoming the person I'm suppose to be, then I will surely find the things that I love. Love will lead all things into blissfulness. If I can do the things I love until my dying days, then life with never seem like a chore. Now isn't that a blessing?

My Interests

ceramics, spray paint, metal, wood, b-boyin', coffee, intellectual conversations, doing the little things, enjoying the little things, laughing. I'm a sneaker freakin idiot who will not dance in the shoes I freak about, simply because it gets too wild, and my babies have to stay pristine. In this existence I hope to accomplish one thing, to find an answer to a question that does not pose two more questions.

who knows on a night like 2nite

Where a dead end ensues, the logical choice would be to turn around and try another route. One might attempt to create their own path where one does not seem to exist. If a tree stands in the way, one...

Sleep deprivation of the third kind

when there is no place to run

When passion reaches the stage that a furious explosion occurs, it is within the power of the beholder to turn that destruction into creation. When the energy level has reached a newly unforseen botto...
