About Me

My philosophy, "People who exert the energy to talk sh!$, do so because they feel threatened, whether by what they are talking sh!$ about, or by their own imperfections."

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE
Do not email me asking me to post a bulletin to all my friends to add you or check you out! You can post up and promote your band or yourself in the COMMENTS section and I will approve it so long as you dont abuse it.
