About Me

I am David, an odd mix of Irish/Chinese heritage with a bit of Cherokee in the bloodline, as well. Mon voisinage est plein des filles qui ressemblent Ã Pat Benatar circa 1983 et des camarades qui ne semblent pas trouver le pantalon qui s'adaptent correctement.
If anyone has come across this page by accident, luck, or sheer fortitude... Check out my musical projects por favor:
My acoustic-based band: Strange Rebel Frequency

And then there was my '90s RAWK band before that: Someplace Burned
I also played guitar in the World Famous hardcore/industrial band in the early '00s: Faust 13

INFP - "Imagine a deep lush valley, caressed by flowers and trees that eternally blossom, inhabited by animals that serve as gentle companions and by people who spend their days loving, creating, and selflessly serving humanity. This is the world of the rare (only about 3 percent of the population) Idealistic Philosopher: the person who is forever striving to live in a perfect world where love and harmony abound."
Before enlightenment: chop wood, fetch water.
After enlightenment: chop wood, fetch water.
