I love to write and play music.My grandmother played piano.She was absolutely incredible!!!I used to go over to her house on the weekends when I was just a little kid.I was fascinated by the piano, musicians and the art of music. I started by playing trumpet in 7th grade and at that time it was a tough decision between trumpet and drums....I heard a Louis Armstrong song that totally set my heart in a whirlwind....I decided to pick up the trumpet.I played all through high school along with playing drums in Stage Band and Marching Band.I also would go over to my brothers house and play his guitar....I couldn't play it more than 10 minutes without him saying....You should get your own guitar....and he would take it back from me!lol....In 1999 I purchased my first drum set and have been playing solid and consistently for 7 years......I also got my first guitar in 99 and have been playing that as well....although a lot of focus has been on the drums for the past 5 years for the progression of RFN's music.
At heart I am crazy.I am very random.I like to do back hand springs.I want to move back to California.I miss everyone who has ever shown signs of caring.I started skating when I was 9 years old....and then my brothers friend stole my skateboard 3 months later.....I didn't get my next board until I was 12....then that was stolen a month later.The first time my board was stolen I had it underneath my bed ....in my room!The second time it was
stolen I was negligent and left on top of our air conditioner.....That board was awesome too...It was a vision.Damn thieves!!!

I use to play drums in Reason For Nothing.Although I had other plans for RFN....We all split our separate ways due to difference of opinion.It is very saddening to me because of all the time and hard work invested into the music.During the past couple of months things had really taken a turn for the worse.... people just lost interest in playing music or they were to busy to put anytime into our music.I was doing a lot if not mostly everything for RFN.It got to the point where I was getting mad at people for not doing what they said they were going to do.There were several times when we thought of replacing members....but deep down I knew that it was something else.....a few months past and my brother decided to throw in the whole shabang....we just weren't seeing the results that should have been there......part and mostly because......1.People weren't putting anytime into the band besides practice time and shows.......2.We never once sent a cd to any record company.......Every time someone said they would do that....a problem came about....like....the picture isn't good enough...or...we need to type this up....who will do it.....no hands are raised...I guess it is left up to me again.....
So I got fed up....and only would do a certain amount...and wouldn't do anymore than that....because I knew....Everyone else was doing Nothing...and when there is only 1 band member doing everything....or the majority of everything....then only a portion of what needs to get done is actually accomplished....There were more internal problems that no one else really saw.....it was just FUBAR!
Don't get me wrong the other guys were doing things...Mark was calling friends and inviting them out to shows......For the first 2 years Jason was handling all shows and booking.......we just weren't working as a team and clicking as a team.......90 percent of the songs that were written .....were most of the time a discussion about what was good and what was bad.....people got offended when they weren't performing well enough and it was brought to their attention.....I mean that's not even the half of it....It was just a constant battle to get things right....to make sure people were doing their part....and when they weren't you would have to pick up the slack.....this got tiring...Being crazy keeps me sane!That's my new quote! 9/17/06I am very ambitious.I love skateboarding,surfing,Playing music,hanging out with friends.....that's all part of it.I find myself wanting more out of life.I try to be as positive as I can.I do not like people to stab me in the back.Friends are a rare thing in this world and even some of your close friends will stab you in the back.Those are not friends anymore!I want to be retired already.I want to live by the ocean and surf everyday.People on the coast are much more personable than here in this desert landscape.I have met several people here that are kind.......but not as much as there should be here......and I think the reason why they are so crabby.....is because their own personal life isn't going the way they want it to go.Also just the fact that it is so hot in Arizona during the summer......which lasts 8 months out of the year!!!
Some things that I find very annoying...
Telling a story and being interrupted..... first of all this is very rude!!!Especially when the person telling the story has an excited look on their face.....Hello that means they are trying to share something of importance with you....so effin listen up!!!
People littering!!! Alright people cigarette butts are one thing....(although I do believe that tobacco companies should have to pay people to go around and pick up any butts they can find....on a daily basis)...however....bottles,cans,bags of fast food trash,cigarette cartons or empty packs,plastic containers,to go cups,underwear,condoms,toothbrushes,clothes hangers,paper,napkins,You effin name it.........stop and look around....look for a trash can.....go out of your way to put it in a trash can.....quit being so damn lazy!!!!!This is our earth....stop treating it like your ex treated you....that's just plain crappy!!!!!!DO YOU GET IT ALREADY???If not....come hang out with me and I will treat you like a little kid and show you how to walk 15 steps to throw it in the trash!
GAS POWERED CARS..... Hey government....listen up.Where are all of our solar powered cars? Make it a law.....hell....start working on it today!Clean our air and stop using gasoline for cryin out loud.Here I will even give you the program that you will implement...(my idea...2/7/05)
1.Create a car factory that is all solar powered!
2.Start making solar powered cars!!!
3.Sell the solar powered cars instead of gasoline powered contraptions!(I do believe $20,000 would be a great starting price.....especially if you start mass producing all over the world....you effin procrastinators!!!!!I don't have the capitol...otherwise I would start building them myself.....oh yeah.....and whoever uses this idea....owes me a lot of money!!!!yeah that's right....No more free ideas!!!!)
4.Issue a bill to all the people who buy the car in the amount of $25 a month.(This amount is to go directly to all of those greedy bastards that still want to stay with the oil business which pollutes( here is the definition of Pollute...To make unfit for or harmful to living things....Living things.....hello Wisenheimer.......We are living things!!!!) our earth instead of switch over to helping our environment!!!Yeah....it would be an effin pay off to all those greedy S.O.B.'s who don't give a damn about our earth and the people in it!!!!!!
5.During the night the cars would run off of charged batteries from the sun that day...or plugging it in at home...or from that corn fuel....have you heard of that.....they make it from corn and it is much cleaner than regular fuel!!!
6.A conversion kit will be made for all gasoline powered cars so we wouldn't have a lot of waste and more junk in the world!!!The engines,fuel tanks and everything dealing with gasoline will be taken out of current gasoline models.They will be replaced by solar engines and battery conversion kits.Old gas engines will be melted down and used for other tools that we need in the world...(such as hammers,tool boxes,screwdrivers,bicycles,tables,bus stops,shopping carts,coins,doors,street lights,picnic tables,nails,fences,buildings!!!....you get the point...etc...)
Stop The Killing....... I am just plain sick and tired of seeing this happen......for crying out loud....Lighten up....and get a better system!!!!!!!!!Oh that's right....that's the whole reason why we are fighting a war right now......Cause we need a better system!!!and by we I mean every last single person on this earth!!!!!!We are all together....so stop being apart from each other!!!!!!!
