About Me

..
..First, I just went through and did a little housecleaning and deleted a LOT of bands that I didn't either know personally or like artistically. Don't take offense to it, I just like to use Myspace to keep up with people/bands I enjoy. If I accidently deleted you (which I know happened), feel free to add me back. As far as that goes, if you're a band on here, message me first...tell me why I should check you out/add you, and I will every time. I don't send random friend requests to strangers, so I'm not calling the kettle black. And no, that wasn't a racist statement.Well, let's see. For some crazy reason, I've decided to attempt to be a career musician. You can help that cause by buying my band, Minutes Too Far's new album. And then I've got these sappy songs on the side. You can buy that CD too, if you'd like. But, for the time being, I'll be writing songs and throwing them on this page for your downloading pleasure. Check back early and often!

lyric shuffle guessing game.

Best of luck on this. Its MY music collection, and I'm not sure I'd recognize most of these. And I'm not sure I know how to "strike through" text on the internet. I'm not the computer nerd you all had...

Question time.

a story about my brother.

People take notice when you are different than everyone else. This statement will make sense later. My little brother (he's not that little...he's 18) got in his car the other day before he headed to ...

This isn't going to be popular, but I don't care. Look, Sally Kern has never been shy about her religious extremism. I live down the street from her, and a close friend of the family actually ran agai...
