About Me

Teenager: "here comes that cannonball guy, he's cool."
2nd Teenager: "are you being sarcastic, DUDE?"

My Interests

i like discovering new things that remind me of old things i already like.

I'd like to meet:

people who like to sing/play instruments/make up songs/dance around with other people. or just sit around and bullshit.

Music:

my advice to people who are bored and unhappy: start a band. even if its with just one other person. even if you suck, which you probably will, its way more fun that not having a band. take it from me, i love you!
