About Me


"There was a fantastic universal sense that what ever we were doing was right, that we were winning…" ~Dr. Hunter S. Thompson“If you work with your hands, you’re a laborer. If you work with your hands and your mind, you’re a craftsman. If you work with you hands, mind, heart and soul, you’re an artist.” ~Anonymous
"There he goes. One of God's own prototypes. I high-powered mutan never considered for mass production. Too weird to live, too rare to die." ~Dr. Hunter S. Thompson
My Name is Jarred and I live in Michigan, where I've lived my whole life. In a boring old town where nothing ever happens. Sounds like a bad novel, to me. But this is where all my friends and family are, so this is where I'll be for a long while. I graduated high school in 2006. Do you know what the fruits of my high school labor were? Working at a pizza restaurant. HAHA. But I have hopes and dreams like the rest of the world.
I'm a drummer. I've been playing drums for a few years now, and have amassed a wide range of influences. Mostly dipping into hardcore and old-school punk rock, but I have influences in metal, too. Also, I've been getting deeply enveloped in the style and over-all playing of the Red Hot Chili Peppers. Their drummer, Chad Smith, is my biggest influence, and the inspiration that has kept me drumming to this day. I was the drummer in the band Any Direction. We were an interesting combination of Comedy, Punk Rock, Experimental, and Metal. However, my brother (our guitarist) decided to move to North Carolina. So Any Direction is officially on hold. Hopfully, someday we can reunite and continue making music.I'm a singer. I've been singing for a while, but I'm better at drumming. I was in my high school's choir program for a year and a half, and learned a lot. I enjoy singing a lot of different stuff, but mostly music by John Frusciante. He has an amazingly beautiful voice. It should come as no surprise that I also sing along to a lot of the Red Hot Chili Peppers' songs.

Where have they all gone?

Where have all my friends gone to? It seems that they are dropping off like flys. I know not of what I've done to deserve such torture. People come to me with complaints. But they know not of what the...
