About Me

Long overdue for an update, here's me in a nutshell plus some random facts:

• First & foremost, I am a musician. Currently performing with The Speaks .
• I have a passion for studying the Japanese language & learning about their culture. I recently passed the Level 4 JLPT and I kept a blog of the first trip I took to Japan in October, 2005.
• I suppose I could also be considered a writer as I keep a daily journal of the most memorable moments of my life.
• I work with computers and am no stranger to embracing technology.
• I have a fishbowl with no fish in it.
• After not owning a TV for over a year and a half, I've finally broken down and bought one (though I already know I'll barely use it)
