About Me

I edited my profile with Thomas’ Myspace Editor V3.6 !

I'm a lab tech, originally from Baytown, now living in Bryan, Texas with a secret double life as an Americana singer/songwriter. Check out www.myspace.com/mikeethanmessick for more on that. On this spot I'd like to come across some old friends from high school, college, old jobs, beer joints, what have ya, so drop me a line or add on.

My Interests

Music (not just mine), movies, outdoors, sports, dogs, whiskey, politics, books, you name it I'll pretend to know something about it.

I'd like to meet:

I know some fascinating folks full of color, integrity, and originality. So I guess all I could ask for is more.
