It's a Greene thang

About Me

Everyday I discover more about who I am. Everyday I discover more of who I don't want to be. I am a follower, I am a leader. I am a child, I am a father. I am a student, and I am a teacher. I am a paradox, I am an open book. I am sensitive, and yet there are times when I could care less. I am discovering that this is ok, that this is life. I'm not here to pick up chicks or for .. dating. I will talk to fans of my music or fans of the Nate Schierman band, or people who love muisc, people who love kids and just good people. I'm just a dude who lives in Idaho.... I love music & guitars & things of that nature. I don't really know what else to put here, the best way to get to know me is to talk to me or something! So step to it... send me a message or something. PEACE

I made this layout with help from pYzam , Look at these other Layouts!
