About Me

My name is J.W. I'm a graduate of Castle HS, and will be attending Roosevelt University in Chicago this fall to study percussion performance and chemistry. I like fireworks, explosives and pyrotechnics in general. I (obviously) play percussion (favorite instruments are marimba, piano/organ and timpani). I believe that if everyone in the world took one happy-pill a day, other than becomming abusers and facing almost certain death from an obscure form of cancer that is caused by an excessive use of happy pills, the world would be a better place. Also, top 8 are in alphabetical order, not necessairily favorite.... AIM SN:pyromaster187..
