yeah... I'm an astronaut. Wanna fight about it?

I have an unhealthy obsession with music. It gets me through the day.
I play guitar and drums and anything that makes noise. I write music and bad poetry. I habitually frequent coffee houses, bars, parks, thrift stores, movie theaters, record stores, music venues. I'm a big fan of the great outdoors, camping, hiking and roadtrips/long weekends/adventure.
I graduated from CCM in Electronic Media. I now work in Public Televison, Independent Film and Audio Production.
I live in Clifton's Gaslight District in a beautiful two bedroom apartment with 4 crazy kittens named Becky, Pegeen, Mico and Nala.
