About Me

FIRST: If you are a band, make sure you look through my music listing to see if you think I'd like your stuff. I don't add bands that I don't like, so check first. Also, web cam spammer assholes can piss off.
I'm a web site designer who majored in Religious Studies (mostly Hinduism and Buddhism) and Anthropology.
I like hardcore, punk, rocksteady, reggae, ska, Oi!, really heavy music, hip hop...hell, I like a lot of music. I've been listening to a shitload of rocksteady lately, and the reggae night at Beulahland on 28th is a lot of fun. Check out the Ghost Town Soul Club night, too. The really heavy stuff still gets me going, too, so I still have to say the core is my heart (fuck that new guyliner fucking weak-ass shit, though). Hardcore is the music that's got me through tough times and I don't know where I'd be without it. I mean, I can be super bummed and throw on Gorilla Biscuits' "Start Today" and by the end of the record I'm smilin' and shit. Oh yeah, and that last Youth of Today 7" fucking rules.
I roadied for Shelter back in the winter of '92 but never converted to Krsna (I did dabble a bit, but who didn't back then?). I loved their food, though. I screamed in a couple of bands, one called Dead Center, and another called Warcry from Bloomington, Indiana, and we played all over the midwest and East Coast. I used to book hardcore shows in Indianapolis and Bloomington, and lost shitloads of money. I made a zine called Reveal and lost a lot of money on that, too. I loved every single fucking minute of it, and made some of the best friends a person could ever have.
I still like skateboarding but it hurts a hell of a lot more than it did when I was younger (imagine that, now that I live in skatepark heaven).
I have some fish and three cats ( Willie , Monkey and Chili ). They all seem to be doing pretty well.

Take Responsibility

It is incredibly immature and infuriating for you to fuck up your own situation, put someone else's situation in jeopardy, and THEN blame it on THEM. Grow the fuck up, take some responsibility for you...
