About Me

So hi. :)I don't have anything terribly clever to say about why I'm here, everyone ELSE is doing it and I'm terrible with cyber-peer pressure.Say hi, unless you voted for bush (I occasionally make exceptions to this) or OH Issue ..1 (I never make exceptions to this) - in which case, just drink bleach, I hear it's tasty. :)I'm a musician. In this town, that means I play and sing a little and I teach ALOT (which is also ok, because I really love teaching). But, I'm one of the only "artists" I know that isn't really a waiter (which is also fine, it's just not me). After many years of working for and with people who suck, I finally even have my own studio, and it's kind of heavenly.*UPDATE* - I thought that since i haven't updated this in about two years, it might be a good idea to bring it up to speed. No, I'm NOT in Law School, as was the plan once upon a time - I've decided that I'd rather do something more beneficial to the world and less detrimental to my immortal soul. So, I'm in nursing school. And I love it. Who knew? And, hey - I look good in scrubs, if I do say so myself. :)
