Are you down with Buddha?

About Me


When I'm not protesting or trying to change laws, I sing for a band called Buddha Bomb !

With influences ranging from The Living End to Save Ferris, we've found ourselves right at home in Riverside's bars. We're always down for an excellent drunken time, so check out one of our upcoming shows!

My Interests


Likes:
Jagermeister, sleep, and toffee, but not in that particular order.

Dislikes:
Bills, black licorice, and vodka, in that exact order.

I'd like to meet:



I'm a friendly and outgoing person, and I like to think that even the worst of days can be salvaged with a joint and some good company.
I love a good dub, punk, reggae, or ska show, especially when there are drink specials.
"My choice is what I choose to do
And if I’m causing no harm
It shouldn’t bother you
Your choice is who you choose to be
And if your causin’ no harm
Then you’re alright with me"
