Life is short. So why not make it ONE L-O-N-G poem of your experiences. Too many people move fast and live to the daily beat and grind of society. Yet they never stop to embrace the beauty of that which exist around them. I'm not one of those people. I'm a realist, and a dreamer. A fighter and a lover. And a man of many aspirations. I'm a home grown Colorado boy who grew up fishing fighting and in the mountains. I grew up on a ranch. And I grew up without a father. And this has all lead me to who I am now. I'm 18, in the army, and very different from many men you'll meet. I have tattoos. im laid back. write poetry and play piano. Most of all, I embrace life and all it has to offer.
