I make music. Actually, I make a living off of it, too, for over two years now. It's alot of hard work and sometimes it makes me one-sided, but it really means the world to me. I go out and play shows and people come to listen and that is it. That's basically my life, and it's a good one.

Otherwise, I'm a pretty mellow guy I guess. Unless I'm
being crazy. That happens too. I love life and I think
it's wonderful and so damn short and terrible and
wonderful again all in one. I'm a hippie at heart, a
writer in the middle, and a romantic all around. At
least, that's what I hope I am.

Trying to get better every day.

Good ole' kind-hearted people! People that see life for the instant that it is.

Oh, and maybe also a hippiechick with
almond-shaped eyes, an angelface, and a longing for the
open road.

And Stevie Wonder. And Martin Sexton (again). And Carlos Santana. And Darth Vader. As long as he doesn't crush my hand when he shakes it.

I'd love to meet Fiona Apple someday too. Not sure why.
