About Me

My name is Chris Burton, and I am a sophomore at Northern Kentucky University. I used to play guitar in a local band called For Years to Come and have an acoustic side project named Reclaiming the Day. Feel free to check us out at www.myspace.com/foryearstocome and www.myspace.com/reclaimingtheday. I love music, I love my friends, and I try to love God (although i fail miserably most times). My friends are my life. If you're in, you're in. There's nothing I wouldn't do for them. If you would like to know more about me, just ask...

Good times. Good times.

My Interests

God, hangin out with old friends and making new ones, guitars, music, the 513, concerts

Oh and of course - "ALE-8"

I'd like to meet:

Nonconformists who don't buy into senseless propaganda. Dreamers that dare to think for themselves. Revolutionaries that set out to make a difference in the world. Persons who are able to see and enjoy life for what it really is...
