About Me

i'm the all american slacker i guess.. lots of potential and no real motivation. At least I used to be. I've recently been reevaluating my life, and am making some huge changes about myself as well as the other people I choose to have in my life. i'm a photographer, a musician, a loyal friend, a philosopher, mr. fix it, and occasionally mr. oh my god can you please fix it right now we're about to be killed! I'm extremly passionate about things, as well as extremely compassionate. I guess the other side of me (or maybe it's jsut part of that very passionate side) is that i'm punk it the truest sense of not caring what other people think, going my own way, pissing people off if they're too up tight to just let go, without being a trendy sellout emo/goth/skater..*insert your label of choice here* loser that shaved his head and said he'd always been punk. it's a frame of mind, a way you view the world, not who you hang out with, music you listen to, clothes you wear, car you drive etc.although, I do prefer to drive pretty bitchen cars- could never seem to see myself in a KIA.And in case you didn't notice, I'm also pretty heavily involved in the music industry. I'm a photographer, a set designer, a lighting designer, general handy man, as well as a lyricist and vocalist for both Optional Feature and The Poplular Flavors, so check 'em out and buy some albums if you haven't already!

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

anybody who's real and has something interesting to say. not posers, fakers, or followers. (by the way, real people are usually cooler than they think. so if you are sitting there thinking something dumb like'i dunno.. i don't really have anything interesting to say', just send some mail already.)

Take this quiz !
