I'm on the endangered species list ( a politically conservative metal-head)! I'm a history major in college at UH here in Houston. I enjoy music of all varieties (except for rap), comic books (Marvel), philosophy, political science, etc. I'm silly as all hell and a bit an eccentric. I am also the vocalist for Houston metal band WHAT LIES BENEATH!
YOU!
