I is a vowel. Me am an Individual.

I'm a Singer/Songwriter. I play Piano and I'm learning how to play Guitar. I am passionate about many things such as reading, writing, photography, and acting, but the thing I am most passionate about is Music.

If I can make someone Live, Laugh, Love, find their Happiness, their Truth, their Peace through something I have sang, said, or sought, then I have come one step closer in my never ending desire to make the world a better place, one sunrise at a time.

Here is some of my music: http://www.myspace.com/JohnTencer

According to the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator, I am an ENFP which can be described here: http://www.personalitypage.com/ENFP.html

I am pursuing two Bachelor's Degrees in Jazz/Commercial Composition and Psychology. I am working as a Resident Assistant during my semesters here. I am also pursuing my career as a singer/songwriter performer by performing in local venues and I am forming a band over the summer.

Not to be pretentious by claiming that I am "good" at these things, but, I suppose I show some skill at these things:

Conflict resolution, counseling, making people laugh, songwriting, singing, writing, photography, laughing.

I like to laugh and I ask a lot of questions because I am constantly trying to learn as much as I can about the Universe and my immediate surroundings

1. Piano
2. Singing
3. My Laptop
4. Reading
5. Friends
6. Laughter

Life, People, What makes people do the things they do (Psychology, Sociology, Anthropology), If there is an afterlife or not and what it would look like if there was such a thing, how to make people have more harmonious relationships, how I can make my friends happy.

Hanging out with friends either watching a movie or playing video games or philosophizing about life, listening to music at a local venue, writing music, reading

I don't really have secrets... as long as I trust people, I can tell them anything; but if you want answers, you first have to ask the questions!

... you want to *question mark*?
