I don't wanna be no motherfuckin vampire no motherfuckin more!

About Me

I am one of a handful of people with the name Zack Bissell; the most prominent of the bunch, according to Google, which lists me first after a search query. I have been working incessantly over the years on establishing myself within the field of my passion: music. I've single-handedly done my part in designing websites for bands, started two online radio programs, worked at starting an eclectic music based publication and website, and participated in the creation of music as a part of at least ten unique projects and bands. I am still working at it, seeing how far I can take my passion in life.

I'm not much of a social person. Sometimes I feel like I've already met everyone I need to be content in life, although I know that feeling is just a part of my frustration with change and the impact it has. Recently I have come to terms with the realization that I am indeed a helpless romantic, surprisingly enough.

At the present moment in time, I play as half of the Legendary Admins and the entirety of Timeless Phase . Also check out my latest project, Morphoder , which is the closest thing to a band that I play in.

Before sending a friend invite: I will not accept your request unless you take the survey I have put together on this page here . As this is my personal page, it would be ideal for me to communicate only with people who I "know" in reality. Taking and answering at least twelve out of the fifteen questions on my survey will demonstrate that you know enough about me to be my "friend" online. If I do not know you personally, I accept all legitimate add requests on my band pages mentioned above. Please establish contact there.

I am saving up for this Orange head and cabinet. Donations, anyone?
