| Introduction | I am just 5 months shy of 21 years young. I am currently a deployed United States Marine scheduled to return stateside in early 2012. I find myself at a new crossroads in my life almost every time I turn around so I've decided to start chasing my dreams with everything I have now before I have no time left. I decided to start this blog and sort of channel my suffocating artistic energy. Welcome and happy reading. |
