I am God and i was in O.R room # 2

About Me

Musically/Artistically/Socially ....AHHH I kick ass, but anyways my policy is more due to laZiness and ignorance on my part then to any ethical positioning and favoritism.i love to play music, i play guitar and keyboards(synthizers), i also play a bit of drums. I wish i could sing, and if so better. I love to write things or i guess songs, i record alot of music- solo or with my other bands-startle( which are in hiatus, 4-5 piece bunch of saucy indie dorks), 2 peiece experiemntal lo-fi pop rock with my wife called sequental circuits, im also doing alot acoustic stuff with my cousin which is more or less alt country/folk. And now im recording under the name 'coi' by myself. which ahs a simple formula Guitar + Cord + Amp = Love...I work and then i play. i want more money and i want to chill. but im a pack rat myself , which leads me to live a lonely existance of rehashing the muddy waters of this place called earth of our faults and tradegeties. Life isnt always dark and heavy, but i do spend my time swimming there. GO Fish!
