About Me

My names Michael. Some call me Mike, Mikey, Chao, and even Saechao. So things that I love is my guitar, singing and dance. I do it all. I'm a reservist marine currently active duty stationed in Cherry Point NC. Music is my life...my soul...it makes me who I am so check out some old stuff @ myspace.com/secondsidedcrashsyndrome. I know it's a long link but it works. As soon as I get back from Iraq I'll get back into recording some new tracks that I'll be working on while i'm in country overseas. Yet, I was only back for so long, I hope I'm leaving you guys my footprints in you hearts and memories. I'll see you all next year if I don't see you this week. To everyone here's my aim, yourlilchao. It's the same for Yahoo! messenger.The Question Everyone Asks: "So why did you choose the name Second Sided Crash Syndrome? And what does it mean?"Answer: "Well the name in itself explains alot of what I've been trying to do. I first started off as a Pop/Alternative/Emo musician. And coming from the background of music that I did, I tried experimenting with different types of lyrical vocals. I tried puting some type of screaming into the mix, seeing as how I originally came from a metal band, and I've recieved mixed emotions about the screaming so I've finally decided to cut that aspect out of the picture. But the 'Second Sided' pretty much says that there's another side to everything. Meaning everything in life and all of its situations. And in my lyricals I like to write about the struggles that I've gone through. Though I'm young, I think what I write about perstains to those of my generation and upcoming. The 'Crash' is defined as many and my favorite is: 'to make a loud, clattering noise.' Not say what I write is a bunch of noise but what it says to myself is that, we listen to all types of genres and others prefer certain genres more over others. And lastly 'Syndrome', we all know what it means. But yet it doesn't always have to be related to some medical behavior. I'd like to look at music as a syndrome. There are moods in every song we listen to. It makes us think a certain way or we listen to one that relates to what we're feeling. And this is why I chose the name. 'Second Sided Crash Syndrome'-what we go through in life there are always two sides to it, and there is a music for every feeling and situation." -wow i spoke an essay...lol
