Just curious what will happen

About Me

I'm just a weird guy.That said, I'm a weird guy who has decided to accept MySpace "friends". I didn't for a long time because I was intent on remaining anonymous but that's pretty much a bust, so...Anyways, I decided since there was no hope of remaining hidden, I might as well build a little network. I'm lucky enough to have a lot of very talented friends and so I put them all (or as many as I could fit) in my "Top 24". I hope you'll check out their music or photography or whatever their joint might be.I myself have also just started my own online magazine. It's all about the music and the books and the DVD's I love. So please check it out. Maybe you'll find something you love too. Click the link here:

My Interests

I play in a band. That's pretty much everything I do. Well, that's not completely true. I watch a lot of movies lately, and i try and spend time with my friends since i never see them when I'm touring. I'm trying to become a really good cook as well. Basically I'm trying to figure out what you do with this insane amount of free time I have.

I'd like to meet:

I have no idea
