"Damian is an enigma wrapped in a riddle... wrapped up in a piece of bacon. "


Aim = DamianSmash
Hi. Hello. My name is Damian Alexander Burford and i have bitch tits.
I'm an Asshole, but people always try to convince me I'm a nice guy.
I like to interview bands. I like to watch movies. I like to drink beer. I like to listen to music, mainly punk rock. I ride a bike.
Sometimes i feel like the smartest person in a stupid race.
Originally I'm from Shreveport, Louisiana. At the age of 20, I relocated to Colorado Springs, Colorado in August of 2001. I'm still not sure what I'm doing here.
But while I'm here. I'm the booking agent/promoter at THE TRIPLE NICKEL TAVERN .
I'm working on turning this gig into a full time booking agency booking multiple venues and tours. If interested... Contact me ASAP.
I also pretend to play bass in the band Kings and Theives.
I have a personal website called IAMDAMIAN at: http://www.shrevepunx.com/iamdamian/ , which i have not updated in like 3 years... someday I'll get around to redoing it...(and for some reason the link won't work. so type it in manually...)
Oh yeah, I'm a master procrastinator.
I use to run Mostly Harmless Magazine.
Now I kind of sort of (don't) run and star in the Video Podcast/Tv Show: The Mostly Harmless Adventures (of Damian).
Here are some testimonies about Damian:

Mary McGowan: "Damian, I know all this but I dont think anyone can really ever understand you"
My Sister Ryan: "Everyone who meets you, loves you."
Sharon (who's last name I forgot, but use to work at sam's club): "Damian your soooo EFF'N weird! i outta kick you in the nuts!!!!! ...your just one strange cookie..."
Amy Haubert: "Your a really cool guy in a world so full of guys that lack coolness."
Paula Rae Brown: "you gave me a shrevepunx flier at a show at the pool hall in minden and changed my life."
James Germain:"Damian. You're one of the good guys. It was cool hanging with you this weekend man."
Memory Travis:"I think you are an extremely kind, honest, funny, and intelligent sweetheart of a guy and I wouldn't trade you or your crazy hair for anyone else."

My Interests

(who wrote this crap?) The greater good in humanity. Passion, Rain, Bike Rides, Coffee, Tea, Myself. Existentialism. Clean laundry. Dreams and Dreaming. The world outside the box. The time between night and morning. Solitude. Pretending to be pretentious. The Evils of Humanity.

I'd like to meet:

"Ever kill anyone? Because I bet you could tease a man to death without half trying. So stop trying."
