7. What I hope for: To one day have a stable source of income. To reside in Seattle or Aberdeen in WA. To have a successful musical group, or my own individual production of music. To be a professional cook in a well-known restaurant.

8. How I expect my future to be: Profession and lifestyle Working a well-paying job that is a hybrid between music production and culinary applications; with reasonable hours To have either a sound-proofed apartment, or a small rental house to share with my girlfriend. Leisure: To have band practice as much as possible and to play out more often. Friend’s parties Going to small-business coffee shops and bookstores Traveling to other places around the world

9. How I am pursuing my dreams: I am very aspirational about receiving my education and exploring the world. I practice cooking very often, and I experiment with variations of mine, and others’ recipes. I am very ambitious about music, as well. I practice quite often and there’s always room for improvement or other theorized methods.

10. How I make a difference in the world: I choose to stay in school and pursue a career. I help others by doing odd-jobs and errands for them. I share my music and lyrics with the world. I'm genuinely nice to everyone I meet. I'm passive and peaceful in pressured or violent situations.

11. One of my favorite poetry excerpts: “If a person has ugly thoughts, it begins to show on the face. And when that person has ugly thoughts every day, every week, every year, the face gets uglier and uglier until you can hardly bear to look at it. A person who has good thoughts cannot ever be ugly. You can have a wonky nose and a crooked mouth and a double chin and stick-out teeth, but if you have good thoughts it will shine out of your face like sunbeams and you will always look lovely.” ― Roald Dahl, “The Twits”

12. My family and friends: Pretty much anyone who is nice or has the same interests as me, is guaranteed to be my friend. My band and my girlfriend are my closest group of friends and I love them both for having such a strong emotional tie with me. I see most of my family during the holidays.

15. The words I live by: I've got an electric guitar I play my stupid songs I write these stupid words And I love every one Waiting there for me Yes I do, I do In the garage I feel safe No one cares about my ways In the garage Where I belong No one hears me sing this song In the garage In the garage (yeah) -Weezer: “In the Garage” And when you wake up, everything is gonna be fine. I guarantee that you wake in a better place, in a better time. So you're tired of living, and you feel like you might give in, Well don't… It's not your time! -Streetlight Manifesto: “A Better Place, a Better Time”
