About Me

I am me.I'm currently playing in a blues band called the Andrew James Trio. It's a lot of fun. Check out the myspace page, but Jordan and I don't play on that CD, so it's a bit different live.Layout Provided By CodeMyLayout.com - Myspace Layouts

My Interests

I'm a bass player. I like creating things (painting, writing, woodworking, anything like that). I'm learning to play the upright bass, which I'm very excited about right now.

I'd like to meet:

A girl who is musical or artistic, enjoys philosophical debate (and is good at it, and doesn't frustrate me), who supports my unrealistic dreams that I live for, and who stays up late with me, I guess, because otherwise we'll hardly see each other... oh yeah, and she can't have a boyfriend. Is that too unrealistic? If she liked Rock music, that'd be nice... And somewhere in there she has to be hot.

Music:

Death Cab for Cutie, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Rage Against the Machine, 311, Incubus, underOath, Norma Jean, Bob Marley, Sarah McLachlan, Thrice, Poison the Well, Norah Jones, Dave Matthews Band, Slave, Deftones, Refused, John Mayer, Buddy Guy, Head Automatica, James Brown, The Mars Volta, Sigur Ros, Victor Wooten, Glassjaw, The Bled, Emery, Jack Johnson, Imogen Heap, The Sleeping... Brand new... I always add on as I gain new obsessions.

Movies:

The O.G. Star Wars trilogy. Lord of the Rings trilogy. The Matrix trilogy. The Princess Bride. dang... I can't remember any right now. This list will be added to slowly. Fight Club. Requiem for a Dream. Anchorman, and other comedies of that ilk.

Highlander.

Desert Heat.

Anything with Jackie Chan or Jean Claude van Damme. The Rocky Movies (well, especially Rocky 4). American History X. American Beauty.

Television:

HOUSE! Family Guy, Seinfeld, the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, the Cosby Show. The World Series of Poker. Whose line is it anyway? The office. Metalocalypse. Sealab 2021. South Park.

Books:

Chuck Palahniuk books (Fight Club, Survivor, and Lullaby so far. I'm still working). Brave New World. (In other words, good fiction that also make you think about philosophy.) The Count of Monte Cristo. Eh...

Heroes:

John Frusciante. Flea. Victor Wooten. Your mom.

Did I let her slip away?Should I have told her how she takes my breath away?Or is that just too cliche?Should I have let her leave?It's not like I have the right to speak.She belongs to another man, n...

Your touch

Your fingers in my hairOh lets not take it there...My mind, your underwearThese things connect and I despairYour fingers on my chestThe cold, the cold -- oh say "depressed"But let's not take it there....
