GET OFF THE DAMN SHED

About Me

Im a cool ass dude! my name is andy. im a pretty real Taurus. i was born and raised in colorado springs. i lived in denver for two years, but other than that ive been right here in the springs. i love colorado. being able to drive a couple hours and then hike for a few more to be somewhere that only a handful of people have been is ideal to me. the outdoors is something i will never take for granted. i grew up playing football, soccer and basketball. all of which i very much enjoy playing still. ive always loved music more than just about anything. my mother always sang and played the piano at home while i was little. i started playing sax in junior high. which introduced me to jazz, blues, swing and big band. i started skating and snowboarding, also in junior high, which introduced me to hip-hop. which has become one of the most influential genres in my life to this date. i met my best friend jeremy in high school, and he introduced me to my other favorite genre of music. hardcore. i wont get into what i think about the "hardcore" music scene these days. but its not good. i also started beatboxing in highschool and often do it without realizing im doing it. ive been fortunate enough to have been traveling since i was 7. ive been to almost every state, mexico, the carribean. and ive been to france, spain, italy, switzerland, and england. in a few weeks it will be my 10th trip to europe! ive definitely been cultured and i have a different aspect of things because of these experiences. my dream in life is to own a vineyard in france and become a successful winemaker and be a great dad. i love beer and bourbon whisky, but am pretty much past my "get fucked up" party phase. although i do enjoy it from time to time. i hate cigarettes and have never smoked one in my entire life. never dipped either, shits nasty. im easily frustrated by stupid people and bad drivers. well i think thats the most ive ever wrote about myself so im done. thanks
