About Me

I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4 AIM - sleepers union, but I'm never on. Currently: I play guitar, sing and write songs about women and fucking up for the band The Failures' Union . I also play bass in a band called The Exit Strategy . I also write sappy music under the moniker The Grim Repair. In the past I have: Been married in Las Vegas and dumped over the phone in Las Vegas (on seperate occasions, and seperate girls), and I think that city owes me some. Driven 15 hours to Minneapolis to see the Lifter Puller reunion, stayed with some cool people in St. Paul, and hung out at a speakeasy called The Mink Hole. Been a crew member aboard a tall ship in Baltimore's Inner Harbor for three days, slept on the deck, saw Edgar Allen Poe's grave and a seal with a glass eye. Threw up out of a car window in front of people watching fireworks on the fourth of July while a Pit Bull licked vomit off my face. Saved a crow's life. Got three bad tattoos and counting. Met Oprahs boyfriend Steadman, The Dutchess of York, Savion Glover and Minnie Driver (on separate occasions). Driven cross country in all four directions. Slept in a log cabin on an Island on Lake Huron in Canada. Ate nachos I found on a bus. Took a crap on a beer can in a toilet at a Quiet Riot concert. Made cassettes of sappy folk music for my friends when I was in high school. Lived in a haunted appartment, or maybe I was stoned. Got bit by a snake. Thwarted a purse snatching. Dropped out of college. And had a horrible time at my senior prom. In the future I hope to: Write more songs (check). Write a book (check-ish). Get a degree. Own a record label. Touch the Pacific. Be a dad.
