A Day in the Life of...

Hello friends,

I am no writer, poet, or even a good speller. I come to you and bring the happiness, sadness, good moments, and not so good moments with me, to share with you, a little of who I have become.

The long road has not been easy, but has most certainly been interesting. I cannot sit here and complain about the life I have lived for, it has been a good one. I have not had it worse or better than any one person. I use the moments that have been tough to grow from and the moments that were great, to cherish forever.

You may find that I am perhaps weird, quirky, insane, funny, and always enjoying the moment. I like mostly to be involved with music no matter what it is that I am doing. It brings me a feeling of relaxation, or motivation, depending on the type of music of course. Plus I feel like I am "in tune" with most songs that I listen to. (no pun intended)

I am a struggling guitar player who would rather listen to someone playing the guitar rather than take the time to learn myself. I prefer to sit outside with friends around a bonfire, playing good tunes, and having one or two cold ones. I am calm at heart but restless a lot of times. I want to know EVERYTHING! Not gossip, but just things that benefit life in itself. History interests me very much. I try to see the good in everyone but also understand that you cannot help someone who does not want to be helped. I enjoy good conversations that have no meaning or no end. The ones that just evolve into something starts a ring of laughter and then no one knows why they are laughing. I have a journal I keep that makes absolutely no sense, not even to me. It is here and there with everyday events. Quotes from some of my favorite authors, lyrics from some of my favorite songs, and pictures that were drawn simply out of shear boredom.

I come from two very different families. My parents were divorced when I was three and I cannot say that I blame them. I caught both ends of the deal and sometimes I feel like I am being pulled in two different directions in my head. I have four siblings, three sisters and one brother. I am the second oldest. You may recall my oldest sister. Her name is Cameron and she currently runs the blog spot called www.journeywildly.com She is an inspiration to a lot of readers as well as myself.

So it is this that somewhat makes up bits and pieces of who I am and have become. Little winding threads weaved through 22 years of growing, laughing, wonderful memories that were being made. I hope that you will follow me and enjoy what you read. Please, take a look around, and until next time. PEACE!
