About Me

I moved to San Francisco for a while. Now I'm back in NY, saving money and planning my next move.i love lexy. that's still true. i recently graduated from purchase college, as a double major history/philosophy. i'm studying german and greek, as well as italian, which i'm still not very good at. i love to travel and learn and meet people. i need a band. i like to create things. truth is important. i often have a hard time communicating. im either too quiet or too crazy. i often cant explain to people what they mean to me, or get close to people id like to. i love all my friends, and try to be loyal and fair. im arrogant, and often and asshole, as most people who know me are aware, but im also honest and rarely malicious, so hopefully it evens out. i try to be self aware, and constantly pro active and improving myself and the world around me.also, mike myers and myself have not played for over two years, but we used to sometimes play music together. check out some of the electronic nonsense at11:1111:11 hasn't been too active, but if anyone has video of mike and i playing acoustic, i'd like to see/here it. i know someone taped at least one of our shows.also my friend and I are working on a some new songs. Look for that soon. but don't hold you're breath.
