About me: I Love life, love to have fun, love to make people laugh, and love to love. Music is the essence of my soul and my voice is the megaphone for my body: shouting out all my emotions and putting it out there for the world to comprehend. I'm going to start singing all the time, so to those friends and family around me lots...look out...because this Phoenix is brushing off the ashes from his wings and he is ready to soar again, baby!

It's Cinco de Mayo in West Hollywood -- Woot woot!
Are you going out and being crazy? I have to stay in and be a good boy and work on FINAL, FINAL (haha) cleanups of my new novel If the Rains Don't Cleanse. Will I stay true to task? Urrgh. You can always follow me on Twitter and find out. Hit be back if you do anything outrageous tonight. But don't do anything I wouldn't do ... unless you take pictures and post them.
Wow it's been awhile since I have looked at your page. I miss that beautiful voice of yours. Good to know you're still singing. I have been lookin into schools in California and hopefully I'll be there in 2010. Have a great night!
