I am not really much of a writer....I joined because I have a friend on here and I thought it might help me become a better writer....Most of the things I write aren't worth reading but are to just help me think things out or get out feelings....I write more essays then I do poetry...

School, music, and Scouts are my life....I have been playing the cello for something like 10 years....I am really not that great but I try and that is more then some....I am an Eagle Scout and I am currently the highest youth leader of Venturing in my council....for those of you who don't know, Venturing is a co-ed program of Boy Scouts aimed at high adventure for kids ages 14-21....it is all youth run with adult advisers there just to help pull events off...if you have any questions about then just ask...I am always willing to answer....

I absolutely love music....it is my oasis...some of my favorite groups are Greenday, Dream Theater, Kronos Quartet, Turtle Island String Quartet, Led Zeppelin, Jimmy Hendrix, Emerson Lake & Palmer, Metallica, Sepultura, System of a Down, and Rammstein....but my absolute favorite is Apocalyptica because they are just awesome....I hope someday to be able to try some of the things out that they do on the cello...check out their website www.apocalyptica.com

If you ever need someone to just listen to you then I am here...and in my experience, complete strangers seem to help the most because they don't know anyone involved so they can't blackmail you and they always bring a new perspective....if you need someone to listen then just message me....

Also, for all girls out there who think that all guys are just horny idiots out for sex and would dump you for a better looking blond....just know that not all guys are the same....there are a few out there that couldn't care less about looks...yes, I will admit that they are few and far between but they are there...


My absolute favorite poem:

THE PANTHER
By: Rainer Maria Rilke
Translated by Stephen Mitchell

Jardin des Plantes, Paris

His vision, from the constantly passing bars,
has grown so weary that it cannot hold anything else.
It seems to him there are a thousand bars;
and behind the bars, no world.

As he paces in cramped circles, over and over,
the movement of his powerful soft strides
is like a ritual dance around a center
in which a mighty will stands paralyzed.

Only at times, the curtain of the pupils lifts, quietly —.
An image enters in,
rushes down through the tensed, arrested muscles,
plunges into the heart and is gone.
