I am here for Dating, Serious Relationships and Friends

About Me

My band...My life...Building a Better You. :)

i love Jesus.

though i am not always found to be the best example of Christianity, i would never let someone believe that the stupid things i choose sometimes to do are a part of what i believe. i love music. i am a musician i play the guitar and i sing. i am a nerd and i am not a nerd. i guess it depends on your definition. but regardless of your perceptions i am and will always be a dork. i don't care if i appear to be the same or different than everyone else. i believe that individuality is nearly impossible to express through appearance (unless you make your own clothing, and that's just cool) but i believe that God has spent enough time on us to create us as individuals by our personalities and who we truly are inside. so cling to that. not what you wear. i also love animals. mostly dogs and monkeys of all sorts. someday i hope to get payed to play music on a regular basis.

My Interests

God, music, true love, friends, talking, writing, listening, driving around singing at the top of my lungs and not caring who sees me, and making and eating my favorite brownies. i love 'em!

I'd like to meet:

It's hard for me to believe that two kids riding on bikes would someday be two grown-ups plotting schemes. The past has become a favorite place for me to visit recently. Innocence is now a rare and precious stone. You can't find it here, but close your eyes and remember. You'll find it in the center. You'll find it in last winter. When a snowflake wet your tongue. And an angel left it's mark in your front yard. We all believed that what we wanted was what we'd be. But what we are is a washed up gleam in some kids eye as he looks up and wonders how the sun holds up the sky. We're just blocking the light so let's keep riding. Let's keep scheming. Let's leave the dreaming to the ones who've seen it all. florida...round two...i just want so badly to be near you so i can ignore you. i want to make you feel for me how i used to feel for you so i can let you down. i hope you read this. i hope when you do, you have no idea that it's about you.

MOST RECENT DFK SONG...(not recorded yet)

She says it's cool. It's cool. Just let me go. Sometimes I just need to be left alone. And it's a wonder how we've gotten this far, but it's a point we've reached and it's the way you look at me. I'm ...

text message...(poem)

From further away this seems like just a bad dream, but I'm closer now, and I still can't touch you. What once held us has now torn you from me, but you're still close enough to touch me. How dare you...

Condescend. I'm just trash anyway. Apprehend any sense of self-esteem that may be saddled safe to me, and tear it apart with a single word. You always know just what to say to make a smile melt off my...
