ABOUT ME

oh gosh. um, well, libra.

im working on doing everything i can to make mine and others lives easier.

I'm real outgoing, I like to talk to pretty much anyone, I like meeting people and going out and having a damn good time! I consider myself an intellectual. I love learning about idealistic and beautiful ideas, and philosophies. I play music, guitar, mandolin, violin, and I sing, and always enjoy a good jam sesh! I enjoy a lot of different stuff, and I like to go out and see it all. I like being pretty much anywhere, cafes, bars, museums, art galleries, parks, playgrounds, streets, beaches, mountains...theres really no limitations. I just realize the importance of being happy and sending off some good energy so I try and succeed in that as best I can, hopefully it works!

PHILOSOPHY

There is now, and there is now, and there is now.

Make yourself happy!
