About Me

"After this, my friend Thomas and I headed over to the Depraved Fan Girls showcase, which featured Charles Bissell of the Wrens, who put on an awesome set for all of us who had gathered. In the meantime, the drummer for the third band, Pompeii, had taken a seat next to me. Quite the chatterbug, he works at Yoga Yoga , is addicted to feeling clean (which is why heâ€™s vegan and doesnâ€™t drink or smokeâ€”but not straight edge! Those guys are cultish!), hoped Morrissey would make an appearence at their show, and was utterly devastated that he was going to miss the Owen show since the showcase was running so far behind schedule."- Undress Me Robot.com

I was adopted at birth and sent away to a boarding school in the UK where Phil Collins taught me the ways of drumming. From there I was packed up and shipped off to the Coast of Texas where I grew up fat and happy entertaining myself and developing a sense of humor and character. I managed to escape the chains of obesity and grow more mature and sophisticated with age like wine. At age 18 I journeyed on a vision quest for self realization and was given two additional b's on my name by the universal guru of creative power. I take a fancy to music, logic, altered states of conciousness sparked by music or concentration, intellectuals, comedy, VIP treatment, cafes, creativity, style, art,drama, obsurdities, animals, mind puzzles, and postmodernism. I hope to one day teach Yoga on the beaches of Australia, tour the world, enrich lives, invent what will cure our ills of the mind,alter convention, and leave my name engraved on the side of a building named in my honor.Do join me in this wild adventure!
