About Me

"If you believe in peace, act peacefully; if you believe in love, act lovingly; if you believe every which way, then act every which way, that’s perfectly valid— but don’t go out trying to sell your beliefs to the system. You end up contradicting what you profess to believe in, and you set a bum example. If you want to change the world, change yourself."- Tom Robbins, "Still Life With Woodpecker"

Muxtape makes me smile

Muxtape is simple. I like that. I also like not thinking when making a mixtape, just upload 12 random mp3s real quick, adjust the sequence a bit and you’re done. You can listen to everyone elses...
