About Me

....where to start? Do you want to know? Are you even reading this? Let's assume you are. First off, I'm a disenchanted, jaded, bitter, mid-to-late-twenties male. I'm getting a little bigger 'round the waist due to old age catching up and my metabolism slowing down, drinking too much and not doing shit about it. Do I care? Maybe. But not really. Atleast not enough to go out of my way and join some gym and/or start striving to look like some mall-going-abercrombie and finch-young-jocko-mall-stud. Don't give that much of two shits too care. It happens. We age, then we die. I play music. What you may ask (if you're still reading)? Guitar, Classical Guitar, Bass, Mandolin, I poke at the Piano, and I sing. Yeah. That's about it at the moment. It's what I do and strive for everyday. Currently, I'm working on various projects and seeing which one takes hold. Also, I've been playing bass with/for my cousin Ryan Huston (click on his picture below). He's about to get signed as with a major recording label. If you haven't heard his music yet, then do it. He's going to be the next big thing. It's no joke. I'm also a graphic artist/illustrator. I use everything from pencil and paper to Photoshop. I'm currently working on new projects of larger scale works. All original and all my own. I do what I do for myself. If others like it, than I'm extatic. But overall, I do it for me. If you're even still reading this, than I'd probably like to hear from you. Because it means you are probably someone that takes time/makes time to look a little further than just whatever pretty picture one may have on one's profile. 90% of the "friends" I have here on myspace are people I know, have met (atleast once) or have had the actual human decency to communicate. I use this page as a way to stay in touch with old (and new) friends and meet new, like-minded people.

I wish that was me...

I just got back from a smoke break here at work. While I was filling my lungs with sweet death, I noticed this little boy with a bed sheet tied around his neck for a cape playing in the fountain. Obli...

This is why we don't have nice things

Alright. I just have to get this off my chest. Two things: A) Am I the only that this happens to or that notices this happening? I am walking down the street on a rainy day and trying to stay as dr...

You never know

Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. Trust? Or Gut? Is there an off switch to my brain?

Do you have a body you could spare?

Okay. Saturday was my birthday. So you'd think that I'd be hating life and trying to avoid everyone that might know about it. Well... I decided not to go that way this year. And surprise, surprise. I ...

anal ram

So... Friday night I was in bed and asleep by 2:30 am after going to a kickass show and stopping by a friends' going away party. At 4:30, my room-mate wakes me up and hands me the phone. I'm delirious...
