Change is the only constant in this world. Embrace it, there is no other way.

About Me

Much respect to the music makers, the poets, the dreamers, the lovers and the artists. You make this chaotic world palatable. If it were not for you I would not get out of bed in the morning. You give me strength to try over and over. You give me freedom where it can never be taken from me.

My greatest fear is of becoming complacent and powerless to control my own destiny.

If you are not here to learn then why are you here?

The last thing I want out of life is to be ordinary.

My Interests

Check out my band:

THE TRIBALMATICS

Music, hanging out with creative and hard working people

Camping, hiking, travelling, the sky, the ocean, the infinite, the answers

People that seem not to belong anywhere, but can fit in anywhere...

I'd like to meet:


All the peace loving people in the world. Screw everyone else.

Music:

BAD BRAINS RULE!!!

All kinds of music....

I prefer live music played on real instruments, not sampled or pre-recorded.

Strings are my favorite instruments to hear and to play.

I have been a guitar player for almost 20 years.

Movies:

Who needs movies when reality is entertaining enough...

But I do enjoy a good documentary or an occasional sci-fi movie.

Television:

TV is the death of human creativity.

Don't be another statistic!

The New Nazi Agenda IS Television

WAKE UP AND LIVE!!!

Life is one big road with lots of signs,

So when you riding through the ruts, don't you complicate your mind:

Flee from hate, mischief and jealousy!

Don't bury your thoughts; put your vision to reality.

Wake up and live!

Rise ye mighty people, ye-ah!

There's work to be done, So let's do it-a little by little:

Rise from your sleepless slumber!

We're more than sand on the seashore,

We're more than numbers.

Wake up and live!!!

~Robert Nesta Marley

Books:

The Prophet, Tao Te Ching, Walden, Civil Disobedience, political poetry, ideology, mythology, comparitive philosophy and religion

Heroes:

The ones who refuse to be forgotten...

Musicians without fear who tell it like it is ...or how they feel about how or why it is not.
