I've just completed my 1st year as a full-time student of Graphic Arts & Imaging Technology at CPCC's Harper Campus in Charlotte, NC (w/ a 4.0 no less)! My return to "skool" has helped me tremendously, bcuz for the 1st time that I can remember, I have goals, hope, & purpose in life.



My artistic creativity can often be described in much the same way as my humor, which is somewhat rooted in my lifelong struggle w/ depression (which I am actually on disability for), my distain for "trendy ppl", followers who can't think for themselves, political correctness, & my personal life motto derived from one of my all-time fave movie lines (Jack Nicholson in “A Few Good Men”); “You can’t HANDLE the TRUTH!”



I basically hang-out at DT's in Gastonia. They've got pool tables, a killer jukebox, live bands on weekends, & a bunch of kool ppl!



In other news, I'm just a prog-rocker & "old skool" metalhead, w/ a twisted, dark, & often “inappropriate” sense of humor. I’m also musician of sorts, playing bass & guitar. I’ve played in 2 Rush-tribs on bass & even got to try my hand at writing on guitar in an original metal band. But its more of a hobby & I’ve only performed “live” a handful of times.



My personality will probably either make u like me or hate me, based mostly (I think) on ur own security in who U r (some ppl r more easily threatened by another’s confidence). I’m not out to change anybody or cram my personal beliefs down anyone’s throat (tho I won’t cower to admit them), but neither will I get run over by others who think they have the galaxy’s best handle on reality & universal truth.
