# About me
I am burning with a need, a desire to know Something More Than Myself. I've seen a mankind that desperately needs fixing and I would like nothing more than to help fix it.One of my many passions is creating. If I hear a good song, I want to write a good song. If I see good art, I want to make good art. If I read a good book, I want to write a good book.
I love my friends and family so much-- they make my life so much more possible.
I'm a pop rock/punk rock fanatic and, to me, the most important thing in any song is good, soulful, heart-felt lyrics, lyrics with a heart beat. My favorite band (though this changes like the seasons) is Switchfoot.
My favorite movies are comedies, musicals, Disney movies, and Burton films. I love Hairspray and RENT and Sleepy Hollow and Finding Nemo.
I am a computer nerd. I am an close to an expert at the entire Microsoft Office Suite. I know how to use Photoshop CS2 fairly well and I'm currently learning Illustrator CS2. I know basics in CSS and HTML and have dabbled in Flash.
Current Projects: writing a yet untitled novel and working on some theological art pieces with a friend.
