About Me

I am a Greg. Music controls my life. I used to sing for 4 bands, but realized that I am but 1 person, so I cut it down to one. But check them all out at www.myspace.com/broadwayfl, www.myspace.com/slowmotionskyrocket, www.myspace.com/thepushgame, (and my current band)www.myspace.com/fillmoreeastfl and if you aren't at all interested in those bands, then go fuck yourself. This is what I'm all about. I've been in like 9 bands over the past 5 or 6 years, and I will continue to hop from band to band, if that's I have to do to find the right one. But I think I'm all right with the one I've got now. I travel A LOT. Mostly via Greyhound, to practices for the bands, as they're usually on opposite ends of the state. I am considered homeless. There's an ambulance in my photo album, I own it, and if I have a home, its there. My parents don't support me, but I have amazing friends that do what they can for me, when they can, and I'd be nowhere without every single one of them. I'm broke. I always have been, and probably always will be, so if you're looking for a date, look somewhere else unless you wanna take ME out. I was recently betrayed, so with that being said... I AM CURRENTLY SINGLE, but unavailable. I have a mission in life. I've been chasing a dream for almost 15 years now. I'll catch it, I swear, because I'm not stopping. I've played some awesome shows, opening for bands such as The Ataris and Red Jumpsuit Apparatus, Emery, Wheatus, Mayday Parade, with many more to come. I've sacraficed a lot, such as my home, the best job I ever had (but I'm gettin' that shit back....yes!), friendships and relationships, and all I have to show for it is the music that I've recorded. Every song has a story behind it, some which I'll gladly tell, and others that will never leave my lips. Right now I probably need a ride somewhere, a meal to fill my empty stomache, or a floor to crash on. I travel with everything I own: A backpack full of dirty clothes, a skateboard, and a guitar case full of clean clothes. I can't live without my sidekick 3, but its pre-paid and since I have no money, I've been learning how and it feels like rehab. If you're still reading this, you might think "man, this guy is depressing" but in reality...I'm having the time of my life! I wrote this song that pretty much says it all, and the music to it can be heard at Fillmore East's myspace so go check it out

Its called Never Went Home and it goes like this

All aboard the random busses and trains
remembering the faces, forgetting every name
I barely know the time of day
I rest my head on whatever stumbles in my way
Even when they said just give it up
even when they said you're not enough
I never went homeThis is all I know, where I go is undetermined
But I'm determined to see our name in lights
burn so bright. Wait for it, you can call it perfect
The tile floor is covered in clothes
the studio gets so cold, but it feels like home
Eating fast food never gets old
I scored some cash from the valueables I sold
This is all I'm living for
I've been close enough that I can say
this is where I want to be
And I am fine living this way
I won't stop for anything
I just hope to God its right for me
If not, I won't be okay
Now everyone is listening
Its really not my call
So God give me something...Give me anything at all
