I got no more money to burn & I'm gonna stay up all night

About Me

i make stuff for a living:
http://www.moodswingstudio.com/

I usually avoid myspace like the plague but for this, I'll make a compromise: If you're a Joe Strummer fan, please support Dick Rude and his wonderful film "Let's Rock Again" which is finally and thankfully now out on DVD. I got it at Borders of all places so it's out there. Find it. And if you're not a Joe fan, then shame on you.

My Interests

Making little pretty things, gin & tonics, lagavulin on a cold, rainy day, my 4 year old son and his Joe/Clash obsession
