About
I'm obsessive. When I like something, I REALLY like it. Music is a huge part of my life, but not for stupid reasons. It's a huge part just like literature is a huge part, like movies are a huge part--music is just bigger than those. Like Camus said about the majority of humans, my life is mostly a search for acceptance and the proof of a deeper truth. Most of the time, I consider myself an absurdist. My recent trip to Italy, and Spain before that, made me rethink my philosophical/religious views, for obvious reasons. In my opinion, "the arts" (that's music, literature, movies, visual art, etc.) act as a prop for me to get closer to that "truth," whatever it is.
But I promise, I sound deeper than I am. Most of the time, I like to sit at home with my brothers Ellis and Andy, or go out with my good friends. I read a lot, when I have the time, and I love to collect things. I get on little kicks where I must have what I want, and I'm a frequent purchaser of random junk. If I could save the money, I would probably try to collect art or something, 'cause I've often wanted to be a curator.
More than anything, I guess, people are the biggest part of my life. My family, especially (my dad, my mom, Ellis, Andy, Ember, Kristen). These people are my heroes. Andy and Kristen are just considered family because they rock so much. I love 'em all to death. But my other friends are right behind them in importance--and some of my coworkers, too. I work at Marshall's, by the way--a clothes store on Hurstbourne. I wouldn't advise going there.
I haven't really lived much of a life, but what I've personally experienced is overwhelming to me (and probably only me). I'm definitely not a "what if" type of person--I'm usually content with how things are. Except women... gotta find me another good girl. I gamble (Texas Hold'em! Churchill Downs!) but that's really the extent of my vices. I'm a straight edge goodie-goodie and it gets me more grief than I sometimes think it's worth. I tie it in to the whole "search for truth" thing mentioned above. I want to be me all the time, not altered. I've been told I live inside my mind, so I don't wanna screw the one good thing I got up, I guess.
This sounds stupid and emo, so message me or email me or call me and talk to me to see more who I really am. Infinitely more boring, but still.
