Let's Learn About Me!

<- This is me kind of.

Well, time to get started! If I had to choose 5 things/words that describe me, they'd be the following:

1.) Music!

In case you hadn't seen me, I wear a giant pair of headphones almost everywhere. They aren't rainbow colored like above, but I work with what I've got. Music is what wakes me up before I go-go, helps me when I had a bad day, and...well, I'm going to stop there with the horrid music references. My taste is music features many genres, but two hold a special place in my heart: vocal and ska. To clarify, vocal features artists such as The Ink Spots, Tom Jones, Dean Martin and Frank Sinatra. Ska is a form of punk, and includes Reel Big Fish, Streetlight Manifesto, and the Mad Caddies. I decided to rattle off on those bands particularly because they seem to fit my personality, and help me get by. As I'm sure some can relate to, whenever times get tough, one can turn to music to try and solve all their issues.

2.) Art!

My art is what has pushed me to pursue a major in graphic design. Now I know there's a huge difference between drawing cartoons and creating advertisements and other images, but I think I have the creativity to pull both off. I've been trying to draw cartoons since about 2007, and have slowly but surely improved. I love finding new artists, but mainly cartoonists. This is major part of my life, and if I had any ability to focus I would have properly started a web-comic by now. Also, if anyone ever needs anything drawn, feel free to talk to me! Please, I need something to do.

3.) Comedy! 

Now bear with me, I know that was a bad joke for me anyway. Unless you laughed, which in that case keep laughing. I am very loose with comedy, and I try not to take life too seriously. It's the only way I've been able to live a happy life! If you can't laugh at yourself or anything, then you might be very sad. I am sorry. I would hug you, but this is probably the second or third time we've talked and I don't want to be coming on too strong. 

4.) Friendship! 

Friendship is a lot like being buried in sand and putting cans and sticks on you. Not really, but my friends did this to me anyway. I love my friends, and they've always been there for me when I need it. We've helped each other out through our tough times, and I value my friends more than anything. 

5.) Silly.

I admit this is a blend of comedy and maybe everything else, though there's more to this. I will also admit I was just looking for an excuse to post the picture above. I try not to be silly, most of the time. Some days I'll wake up and say "I can't wait to be professional and keep myself composed!" Then that doesn't happen. At all. I came to accept it, but I am working on this in college. I will do my best to not be silly at all times, but when I do, bear with me.
