| Bio: | What do I say? How can I come up with the few sentenses that accurately captures who I am - when page after page could be filled and you still would know less then if you never read it? I can tell you what I do. I can tell you what I feel. I can tell how I think. I can tell you what bothers me, what stresses me, and what brings me to tears. I can tell you what makes me laugh, what brings a smile to my face, and what brightens even my darkest of moods... But it's more complicated than that. It will always be more complicated than that. I struggle with what to say. I struggle because I know that whatever I choose to save, it's going to be an inaccurate and incomplete statement. I'm a ~~~~~ painter... ~~~~~ teacher... ~~~~~ recording artist... ~~~~~ creator... ~~~~~ college graduate... ~~~~~ scholar... ~~~~~ artist... ~~~~~ composer... ~~~~~ lover... ~~~~~ scorpio... ~~~~~ listener... ~~~~~ writer... ~~~~~ secret keeper... ~~~~~ giver... ~~~~~ thinker... ~~~~~ swimmer... ~~~~~ nature freak... ~~~~~ friend... ~~~~~ ... What do you want to know? Ask me a question... "…Now, man, that alto man last night had IT – he held it once he found it; I’ve never seen a guy who could hold so long… Here’s a guy and everybody’s there, right? Up to him to put down what’s on everybody’s mind. He starts the first chorus, then lines up his ideas, people, yeah, yeah, but get it, and then he rises to his fate and has to blow equal to it. All of a sudden somewhere in the middle of the chorus he gets it – everybody looks up and knows; they listen; he picks it up and carries. Time stops. He’s filling empty space with the substance of our lives, confessions of his bellybottom strain, remembrance of ideas, rehashes of old blowing. He has to blow across bridges and come back and do it with such infinite feeling soul-exploratory for the tune of the moment that everybody knows it’s not the tune that counts but IT –" - Jack Kerouac "The main thing a musician would like to do is to give a picture to the listener of the many wonderful things he knows and senses in the universe. That's what music is to me - it's just another way of saying this is a big, beautiful universe we live in, that has been given to us, and here's an example of just how magnificent and encompassing it is. That's what I would like to do. I think that's one of the greatest things you can do in life, and we all try to do it in some way. The musician's is through his music..." by John Coltrane "I am responsible for what I say, but I am not responsible for what you understand." - Don Miguel Ruiz from The Mastery of Love.
