Hmm...well I am a very honest person.  Some might say brutally honest.  It tends to get me in trouble sometimes, but as the saying goes: "I would rather be hated for who I am than loved for who I pretend to be."  I am a very open person.  I have grown up fast and have absorbed everyone I meet.  I have a greater understanding of life than most people.  I see the big picture and not just whatever task is in my way.  I guess you could say that I am a modern day prophet of sorts.  I am into music of all sorts.  I am very eclectic and I seem to like a song by how I feel it, not how it looks, or sounds, or if it is played on the radio.  I am a singer.songwriter and musician as well and so I write a lot of songs as well.  My style is somewhere between folk and acoustic indie I guess...maybe a little of bit of country twang if you listen hard enough.  I hate society.  Social standards are far form my own.  It is so funny to watch the human cattle graze around the world totally oblivious to the answers when they are right in front of them.  I have come to the unfortunate conclusion that common sense is not all that common anymore.  We base our daily lives on stupid standards that in the end will get us nowhere except standing next to people just as shallow as ourselves...and yet we continue to strive....trying to be the next star athlete or pop slut.  Our views of right and wrong have been so minipulated that all the BS goes unoticed and even welcomed.  I am out to change this...even if it be one person at a time, I will make my stand against the social injustice!

    I read that you don't like society, neither do I. I have a poem called Humanity, I'm not saying you have to look at it, but I would like your opinion.

    Thanks for the wonderful comment. I really like your bio. You have a very intriguing perspective of society. I especially like the saying you quoted:
    "I would rather be hated for who I am than loved for who I pretend to be."
    Personally, I struggle with being diverse amongst those around me. People can be so restricted with themselves. I don't like that, and prefer to be open about everything.

    Anyway, thanks again for the comment and take care.
