About Me

Tall ass white boy. Beard. Redlines. Queer. Propensity for madness and untamable brilliant creative white light. I see and hear everything. A single variable spins me into countless possibilities and versions. Productive. Optimism. Slowly beginning to organize my internal chaos into something useable and practical. Applying this to music, art, and life in general. I fall down a lot still, but the difference is I see where I want to be. Coming to terms with my rage. Battling my frustrations with the world and how I fit into it within the bounds of the life I have been handed. Life is unfair, but anger is power. Discontentment breeds change.
