About Me

I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4
I enjoy music, period. I enjoy my awesome friends, my blood.I enjoy Jennifer the most. I enjoy the sun, the moon, and the stars. The trees, the lakes, the oceans, and streams. I love sign language (and someday I'll be a real working interpreter).I love movies. I love laughter. I love random acts of sillyness. I hate the state of the world. I like that there are people who want to change it, AND THAT ONE OF THEM IS RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT. Don't think we can do it? Yes, we can.

I used to be in this band!

My Interests

My heart and soul lies in music. It is the ultimate expression for me. I enjoy most forms of expression. My salvation lies within the pen ink. I enjoy the company of my friends. I enjoy sign language and the fact that I know what the difference is in being Deaf and being deaf. It's not a disability or a handicap, it's a culture and an implant is not a "cure" it's a BIG risk. There is a power to laughter I have seen it. There is power in the Moon, I have felt it. I am moody 70% of the time. I have a good people around me, I feel stable. I think too much with my heart and have been known to wear it around my neck. I like Autumn the best. Time is never on my side. Earth, Air, Fire, Water. I think too much about love. The greatest power we have, is the power to choose. I enjoy to be silly. I enjoy how great it is to be random. I enjoy that I can change. How bout them O's hon!

I'd like to meet:

People into good music, people who play good music. People who feel this world needs to change.
William Shatner, Sir Paul McCartney...there's a lot of people on that list.

You Are Guinness
You know beer well, and you'll only drink the best beers in the world.
Watered down beers disgust you, as do the people who drink them.
When you drink, you tend to become a bit of a know it all - especially about subjects you don't know well.
But your friends tolerate your drunken ways, because you introduce them to the best beers around. What's Your Beer Personality?
