CURRENT MISSION

Welcome to this world have as much fun as you'd like while helping others have as much fun as you're having

ABOUT ME

I try to be funny but that usually just causes my friends to slap themselves on the forehead with embarassment. I like to draw creepy monsters and assorted other creepy things. I play music via a drumset and guitar I just got for my birthday and will jump on the opportunity to play music with anyone (theres a bad story behind that). Now you're saying to yourself, "He draws AND plays music? He can't possibly write crappy poetry too!" Well, folks, its true I do write crappy poetry and if you accidentally read any of it, please, forgive me.
I try to stay ligt-hearted and positive for the most part but I might get sassy at times. I also enjoy late nights talking about everything and anything.

PHILOSOPHY

I've been living under the motto, "how strange it is to be anything at all." I've recently come to appreciate the importance of human life, the things we create, all the beautiful ideas we can have and share. I'm never not amazed that I'm alive and it gives me a very strong appreciation of everything.
