About Me

"and one day we will die, and our ashes will fly from the aeroplane over the sea. but for now we are young, let us lay in the sun, and count every beautiful thing we can see..." -Neutral Milk Hotel
I'm a little shy at first, and like to be with one or two close friends. My social life revolves mainly around music-- I have a recording studio in my home. I run ncmusic.com, play bass and sing sometimes. I'm quiet, but hopefully when I say something it's worth listening. I get lonely, but seldom get bored. I ride a 1997 Honda Shadow 600 motorcycle and work at a local motorcycle dealer. I have been a vegetarian since 1987. I believe in God, but I don't think my church likes me. I like people of all ages and types, and shirts without sleeves.
