Write, ride, record, mix and master. [Endangering human life, getting hit by cars, falling from high situations, running from 5-0's, artistic vandalism with inner meaning, having the weekly religious experience, isolation from all society, working on the deathwish, making people look at the world differently and give funny looks when they don't quite understand, falling asleep in public, learning from poltergeists, using my truck as a weapon, not having to get shots of Geodon in the ass]
I'd like to meet:
Metal bands willing to put me through the gauntlet capturing their noise and turning it into something larger than life, No-bullshit engineers that blow ME out of the water; Hard-core writers that type circles around me; Snowboarders hard-core enough to beat me up in the Buck Hill parking lot for being a poser. Also Rob Zombie and the Doomtree dudes!
