ABOUT ME

I work at a Books-A-Million in Dothan, AL right now and I'm hoping to be able to transfer to another one in whichever city I'm comfortable in. I've been trying to get a bluesy/rockabilly music project going for a few years now and everyone in my town that isn't in their late 50s or 60s plays what I play. Everyone my age plays Hot Topic music. I'm still not sure what I want as a career yet. I just think it's best for me to ramble around until I find out what I need to find out.

PHILOSOPHY

I'm not gonna claim any religion. Religion is what turned faith in a superior being into a joke among most people. I believe in a God. I have my doubts sometimes but everyone does. I'm not going to talk down on you for being an Athiest, Agnostic, Buddhist, whatever. As long as you try not to argue or talk down on anyone about personal beliefs then I can respect you. I was raised Baptist (I know that's hilarious) and I was an Athiest for a several years but some stuff happened and I believe in some kind of superior being. I have my ups and downs with faith but that's normal. So basically the Westboro Baptist church is a clan of basketcases. That's my philosophy I guess.
