Chin Up, Cheer Up.

About Me

I don't really care about boobs. Unless they're saggy. Or if they have abnormally large nipples. That's just gross. But, I like music, fashion, and being a snob. They all fit nicely together. I can be fashionably snobby, a music snob, and have musical fashion. A winning trifecta, if you will.

My Interests

I enjoy keeping it real. I also just started getting into photography, and I love it. Oh, and go check out more pictures at my Flickr page.My fucking pictures, bitches

I'd like to meet:

Change - the hope involved in preparation

I want to change for you,I don't want to be lazy,But lazy's in my genes,And, they're blue like me,I want to move close to you,Work these hands to bleed,Just to pay the rent in the city,And make ends m...

New stuff. Actual songs to be released on my other myspace "band" account.

Oh, Rosalyn,Youre not to blame,You fell down like the snow,And melted the same,But, you shattered like an icicleThat broke away from the vein,When you asked who it was I loved,And I couldnt say your n...

Your eyebrows are the perfect reflection for my lips.

A new venture - a story, perhaps?

I'm tired of being alone. It's hard to write about, because at this point, even my words have escaped my clutches. They were the last things I had. No amount of pussy in my hindsights could ever coax ...
