ABOUT ME

enamoured ginger kid currently travelin with me sweetheart around whichever part of the globe most gut-wrenchingly infiltrates our dreams...born and raised a masshole who ran to the better coast at first chance and has been working on finding my way into and out of as many different secret corners of the world as possible before i croak while trying to leave something behind that is more meaningful than just a disintegrating lump of flesh for the maggots...we'll see...for now i'm just trying to unfold the next adventure in this little life while rolling with the punches

PHILOSOPHY

"I am the Chosen One. And so is Everybody Else." -Rob Breszny

"I'm gonna die with a twinkle in my eye, cuz I sang songs, spun stories, loved laughed and drank wine." -The Cat Empire

Trying to figure out what this We Are All One business is all about. Everytime I think I'm close to understanding, I realize I don't have a clue. But I keep on trying. It may just be the key to Enlightenment. Whatever that means...
I have found it to be true, though, that the more happiness you help spread to others, the more it grows inside of yourself. So...Be Kind!

Teach, Learn, Share

Hmm...I can teach basic chords and songs to beginners of guitar. Also, I've taught English, so I can definitely help those who are looking to improve their English language skills.
I am interested in learning different languages, especially of the countries I visit. And I'd like to learn to ride a horse someday. I'd like to learn more guitar, and any instrument really.
Share...music!
