Last night a musician saved my life

About Me

I did this and I did some of that. I'm currently working on my debut album for Yoruba. Life took me down some side streets but now I'm back on the road to happiness.

--------------------------On a personal tip---------------------------------

I drive a hoopty. I hate beans and peas. I'm all about macaroni & cheese. I'm passionate about music. I love my friends. I'm not very talkative but I listen very well. I'm not judgmental. I'm not apart of any clique or scene here in Detroit. Although, I do try to support those who reciprocate (unfortunately, it's very few & far between). I don't watch much T.V. but I do like "The Venture Bros."

2007 Resolution: to read more, to live more & to love more.
PS. I forgot to mention that I have a very low threshold for bullshitters.
