About Me

I'm a high-ranking clergy-man in The Church of the Painful Truth. Music and politics interest me most. I have a Ph D. in insensitivity training and a bachelor's degree in journalism. NOTE: I'm having audio troubles with my computer, so I can't listen to mp3s on here. Don't be surprised if I deny your band's friend request. If I've never heard your stuff before, I probably won't be adding you since I can't listen to your stuff on here.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:
