Opossums are ok, but not actually very awesome.

About Me

I'm in a band called The Sort . You should check it out. I think it's the best band I've been a part of, and the coolest group of guys I could ever ask to play with. Please pre-order our brand spanking new album here. Please note, album will ship in Mid March!! But dude, do it now.

I also have a solo project called Multi that's kind of sad/piano/reverb-y stuff, and if you're interested in hearing more of my vocal work, visit the page of my former band Rockbot . I also play A LOT of online Scrabble; at least five 3-4 minute games a day. I'm awesome. I also just started doing crossword puzzles, but I'm not quite as good at those. I don't do Sudoku. I suck at Sudoku.div ..

My Interests

The band, the album! That's pretty much IT for 2007!

I'd like to meet:

Books:

Vonnegut, Sartre, Wilde, Salinger. Textbooks (Astronomy, Biology, Literature, you name it. I think it's incredibly important to have a healthy amount of knowledge on a wealth of subjects.) Check out howstuffworks.com. I go there when I have a question (usually scientific) nagging at me. I don't know how many people get those nagging questions, but I do, and it's awesome.

Heroes:

Puddy. The Trojan Man. Morrissey. Craig Wedren. Tori Amos. Al.

Does anyone remember Friendster.com? Before Myspace, and WAY before Facebook. Do you remember how popular that site got? We used it for a couple of years until myspace.com came along, boasting to be b...

Profile Song

I like this chick because she sounds like she's got a sore throat while still managing to sound pretty awesome. I have a very sore throat, but I definitely do not sound awesome right now.
