Robert / Music Lives in Me

About Me

My goal in life is to play as much music as possible in the time I have while still living my life. I have had a easy/hard life all rolled into one and I think I'm a pretty well rounded person for it. I'm the child of a single mother and raised by her and my grandparents between St. Louis Park, MN and Minneapolis. Did'nt do so well in school but still came out sharp and intelligent (read my textbooks cover to cover). I've attended some college but for the good it does people nowadays I'll save the music degree for a couple years in the future. For the last few years I've played in a local band called Murge (www.myspace.com/murge) writing songs a playing guitar. Musical differances split us up but we are still great friends. Life goes on and I have started a new group called Addicus. The band is ass-kickin'. New page too come. We were in the frustrating search for a vocalist but it was like endless bad american idol tryouts and we have since given up and taken vocals unto ourselves (don't worry we'll practice before coming out). I enjoy reading allot, my playstation get's much love, listining to music is a given and I value time spent with my friends. I'm trying to live life to fullest while my cup is only half.

My Interests

Music, Songwriting, Guitar, Sprituality, Reading, Free Thinking, Good Conversation, Cinema, Summer Days, Football, not working, dreaming about throwing it all away, thinking about how good I have it and that I should shutup, sex and lot's of it, my close friends, being a better person, finding (and using well) as much personal time as I can it an all-to-busy life, etc. etc. etc.
