About Me

my passion is music. there is hardly a moment when i don't have some music playing. i love how a song can instantaneously alter your mood. discovering new music is the greatest thrill for me. it's amazing to me how there's always a song that can express how i feel at any moment. songs can always express what i'm feeling better than i could ever try to. it's incredible how they are able to externalize feelings and put emotion into words. when melody and lyrics come togther and is in harmony with how you feel, it's like nirvana. just PERFECT. music is such a release, a safe haven for me. if anything is bothering me, i'll just put on some music and can instantly feel better. i could just sit for hours listening to music and be satisfied with my day. music is one thing i cannot absoulutely live without. and also my friends. anyone mess with my friends and i'll bring my twin ambassadors of pain.
