About Me


follow taray at http://twitter.com Born in Omaha, Nebraska, I have lived the majority of my days in Abingdon, Virginia. Now I call Atlanta my home, otherwise referred to as the New York City of the South. Isn't that lovely? I am a compulsive reader, writer, artist and daydreamer. I am soon to be a licensed real-estate agent. Awaiting my state examination with little apprehension. I am a LEO so that should explain several aspects of my personality. I am an ex-artist, and rightfully so. Music, Art, and Literature are my passions. I love all things of beauty whether they be of the classical sense or of the avant garde, can you dig it?What would you like to know? Don't bore me with the trivial.
