About Me

MySpace Profile Photo Editor Word! i'm Armstrong, and used to be the boss.
I'm a singer, songwriter, burnout, whackjob, and probably the most generous friend you could ever have. I'm going through a really rough patch in my life. I've been making really selfish and poor choices lately, and I really need to get my priorities in order. I (have) the most amazing girl in the world. She really is incredible. We fight, of course. what couple doesnt? But its high time I start appreciating her for just how amazing she is. I love you with all my heart Jessica, and i'm sorry for all I put us through. besides her, I live with some peoples in an awesome house in Des Moines. check out 620 House . Its pretty neat. haha.
I own and run a studio in Des Moines, Studio!Studio! (visit the 620 House page for info). I've got pretty reasonable rates as far as demo studios go. I've got a pretty sweet setup, which you can find out more about by visiting myspace.com/620houseproductions.
I also dabble occasionally in graphic design. if you're looking for online design work, t-shirt designs, myspace banners, website design/maintenance, etc., you should definitely send me a message. I've also got great relationships with several different screenprinters all over the country, so I can probably help you with printing needs once your designs are done as well.
**DISCLAIMER**
If you think you're tough, or that you'd like to fight me, then act like it when you see my face. Don't hide. I wont hurt you THAT bad. I'm anti-bullshit, ANTI-SXE (most of those kids are lying anyways), and most of all i'm brutally honest when it comes to assessing a situation. if you need to know whats REALLY up, feel free to ask me. and dont expect me to apologize just because I say what you dont want to hear.
