I'm always trying to do something different and trying to keep myself amused.

I write for myself; I'm trying to keep myself interested in the music.

Something for everybody to have a piece of.

I am human. I am messy. I'm not trying to be an example. I am not trying to be perfect. I am not trying to say I have all the answers. I am not trying to say I'm right.
