| Influences | people who sacrifice any chance of leading a normal and safe existence by following their passion for creating art. many of them fall by the wayside unnoticed by the majority, never knowing the small yet positive impact they may have had. people who "spend it all" (RIP richard manuel). people who realise this is it- this is life and its all we have. people who know there is no god... and still want to be the best person that they can. people who grab hold of opportunities when they present themselves... even if it varies from their long term plans. people who follow their heart. people with the ability and dedication to communicate.
