About Me

What up people? The first thing you should know about me is that I am completely obsessed with music. I listen to music during all possible waking hours, and dream about music when I cannot. I am a music journalist and a DJ and love it all. I go to as many shows/concerts/clubs/parties as I can both to experience the music and experience the people who love music like I do.As if there was anything else to life, I graduated in May 2004 from the University of Virginia with a degree in Economics and History. That's not what I want to do with my life, but I'm glad I got the degree, and who knows, it might come in handy one of these days.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

People who don't suck. HA. I'm not kidding though. I like fun, open-minded people who know how to have a good time and aren't quick to judge. Diversity is key - I like all kinds of people and like to expand my network whenever possible (with people that don't suck).

Why I love SoCal...

Besides the amazing weather, the beautiful and awesome people, and the distance from Virginia (while still being in the US) I love SoCal because of the seemingly infinite possibilities it provides for...
