Welcome to my page (with poetry, even!)

^that’s my buddy, darby. Go Guitarz!

 

I’m 18.  I can smoke, die for my country, and move out. cool beans! USC is waiting for me, and I hope the knowledge that Anderson has imparted is enough to put me through 4 years without having a nervous breakdown

Ok its update time, since it’s been nearly a year since I’ve touched this site.  I have written tons of new stuff, so check out the 02 and 03 poetry.  also the songs section is new (I organized this site the same way my writing folder is.

And thus moving on: a bit about myself. First comes my name (which is usually chosen before you’re born, so it should naturally come first).  Larry, or Patrick: doesn’t matter much to me, as long as its to me.  p.s. if I forget your name (sara>h<, paige, and Jennifer etc.), I apologize in advance, because I’m worse about other’s names than picking one for myself! Sorry for rambling. Second after my name comes God, my creator, my everything.  Jesus what would I be without Him? Anyways just wanted to let you know that I believe in God the Father Almighty, Maker of this world you see before you (how else would it be as (darn there’s no word to describe the inherent glory of the third emerald from the sun)… but that’s why I believe.  This much beauty from a Bang? give me a break

Now.. talents I possess (or think I do at least).  If you’ve ever talked to me on the internet, chances are quite a myriad that I’ve been playing guitar while talking (or attempting to talk).  This should come at no surprise to those who’ve heard me play. I won 3rd place in T.L. Hanna Talent Show, so in comparison to the school I’m good (of course that was total talent, which included me singing a song I personally wrote. Other things I can do, in addition to singing, writing, and playing guitar: Piano, acting and dramatic interpretation, flirt (second only to guitar;), and volleyball. I can do other stuff if you ask me to too

I have musical influences too, and I will now list them in a list with commas and things. The list will begin with a phrase to introduce it and a colon: Jars of Clay, Dave Matthews Band, John Scoffield, John Mayer, Eric Clapton, Eric Johnson, Craig David, Metallica, James Yeh, TL Hanna Jazz Band, Silverchair, Incubus.  told you.

extracurricular activities.. woah. this list is decently long. First off, since im a dork with no friends: band & jazz band. Then there's Pen to Paper Writing Club, TL's feeble attempt at a poetry/prose writing club. I am now president of the club, which was a hasty decision made at the banquet last year. however, writing has steadily become a love of mine. Also speech and debate.. i get a little story and jump around & act like an idiot, or act like a dying person and make people cry. I didn’t do this much my senior year (and I regret it thoroughly). then of course NHS, the lazy smart people's club.  Oh yeah, FCA, First Priority, Unity, Westside Chorus, GAMAC Youth Chous, Math Team, Church, Piano Lessons. and I think that’s about it

anything else just ask me: 245-0637, aim, or just freakin talk to me.. I don’t care!!!
