I am here for Friends

About Me

I'm a simple soul, a deep thinker, a loyal friend, and a hardcore optimist. I'm strong in my beliefs and expect others that aren't so strong to accept that. I believe that music is one of life's greatest gifts. I play the drums in a band called Dayfall,and I am open to all musical genres. My ultimate goal in life is to make a living with music and to travel and eventually see the world. I'm talkative at times, yet quiet and reserved when I lose myself in a thought. I believe there's a time and place for everything. I'm a christian who trusts that everything in life happens for a reason and that we are all destined to make something of ourselves. Every day, I strive to make myself a better person, whether it be physically, mentally, or spritually. I believe that a healthy body and healthy mind are essential elements in the pursuit of happiness. I also believe in true love, although my quest for it continues. For most, this life is a constant struggle. For me, it's a beautiful journey. Welcome to the life of a dreamer. Enjoy your stay.

Just for the record...

I did not watch a single NFL football game during the season, and I AM ECSTATIC that the Giants pulled through and emerged victorious against the more experienced Patriots in Super Bowl 42. The Giants...

Signs...

I believe that God has a way of telling us things. We may not hear a voice, but sometimes a sound or a "gut feeling", as some would say, draws our attention to something that we otherwise would probab...

Take NOTHING for granted...

So funny how one little occurrence can make you want to change your ways. We've all been through it, something that truly makes us drop to our knees and thank God for giving us the gift of life. What ...

Defeat at the hands of Opie and Count Chocula...

Out of 13 total bands, only eight were chosen to advance to the next round of the Bodog Battle of the Bands audition. Dayfall was NOT one of those bands. It has become clear to us all that the competi...

So many ups and so little downs...

Lately, it seems that everything is going our way. I'm speaking on behalf of Dayfall, of course. It's so bizarre how life manages to throw so many good things at you all at once. It makes me wonder if...

Panama City, I hope youre ready for this...

I was stoked to discover yesterday that Dayfall had been one of the bands chosen out of only twenty to participate in the Club La Vela Battle of the Bands on October 19'th and 20'th. First of all, let...

Beware the girl named Ted...

A lot of you won't know where the hell this is coming from, so just take it as a simple declaration and with a grain of salt. Let the record show that arrogant people disgust me. Don't expect to recei...

Could an elephant survive at the bottom of the ocean?

I just had the strangest dream while I was napping. I dreamt that I was staying at some seaside resort, which was quite literally just that, because when you opened the doors to the beach access, you ...

I swear, I am losing my sanity...

So, for the past three days, I've been running around like a chicken with its head cut off, trying to get this shit done for the Next Great American Band competition. Please excuse my language. I'm aw...
