I'm a Dreamer
It takes courage to live your dreams. I'm beginning to realize that understanding who I am, at the core, is the first step to realizing my dreams. Some call it soul-searching, self-realization, peeling-the-onion etc, but I like to call it finding the essence. Finding and nurturing the essence, or basic values, the personal moral system, core talents, I believe go a long way in achieving what we long to see achieved.

So what is my core essence? Who am I beneath the surface? I'm still finding out. What I have discovered so far frightens me. Who I am underneath my outer shell is radically different from who I project myself to be, or rather who I 'want' to be.

"A man should not strive to eliminate his complexes but to get into accord with them: they are legitimately what direct his conduct in the world."
-Sigmund Freud

I'm a Believer
I trust in my best friend, the good Lord
I believe in my family; the one I hope to someday build
I believe in values that my parents taught me
and,
I believe in miracles; trust me, I've seen them happen.

I Love Music that Speaks
I love music that
speaks to the heart. Perhaps that is why I like country music too.
