About Me

MyGen Profile Generator
I wanted to explain my top friends. The Daisy Chains are my kindred spirits. Miss you Rob! Start, Go! and The Endless Search are bands that I'm currently working with. The Lizard Lounge Open Mic... well, is the best open mic out there. Seriously. Antje Duvekot is an inspiration. Melissa Myers and Katie Chastain are two very dear and talented friends. You absolutely should check them out. The Cinematic Underground is a very cool band that I've had the privilege to meet. They bring theater to the stage like nothing I've ever seen. Please catch them live, as they will surely entrance you. Avi and Celia are just damn cool Boston/Vermontian musicians that I love and wish I hung out with more often. Maybe some of their talent would rub off? NO CASINO is fronted by my friend Drew, and anything he does is inherently cool. Hugh McGowan is a staple in local Boston music. If you don't know him, or his double life as a bartender, then you're missing Boston. Jake Brandon Crawford spent enough time in Boston for me to catch on to the fact that he is extremely talented, and didn't need Berklee to teach him that. I'll visit you in Texas one of these days, I promise Jake! Um, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers are completely self-explanatory... and if I knew him personally I wouldn't tell you ;) Evin is my brother! David is my encourager, my stabilizer, and I'm head-over-heels. Sweet Leilani has helped in so many aspects of my life. She's my best friend!
I want the world to change. It could start with you. Stop being petty. Stop pretending Coach purses make a difference. Listen to your heart. Breathe. Love.
I put my song "home" up on garageband.com a long time ago. Well, it feels like a long time ago. See how it's doing against its fierce competition! (When written, it was 19 in the current alternative rock contest. Do I win something shiny?)

waking up

I'd have to say that, up until this point, this has been the worst year of my life.  Somehow, its going to be the best too.  Funny how things like that happen...I'm ready to take the plunge,...

I cannot leave the subject line blank.

I feel like I'm coming to crossroads more and more in my life.  Its not just do I want peanut butter or cheese on my bread... this is heavy shit.  This is stuff that I can't handle... not by...

pickles have more common sense

Does anyone find it strange that the political candidates for the 2008 elections all have myspace pages?  I guess its good.  It may actually engage people in voting for a change.  Unfor...

So a couple nights ago I had this crazy dream.  I dreamt that I had three kids... all blonde.  The oldest was a girl, with curly hair and huge beautiful blue eyes.  Then there were two ...

music in everything

I love how music just pulses through you.  It absorbs you.  You absorb it.  "I can't take my eyes off of you."

midnight is no time to ponder

I always should be in bed rather than staying awake and writing these things.  This is the time of day where my mind opens to more thoughts than "where are my shoes?" and "what the hell am i goin...

the swirl of eternity

Maybe its just the day... maybe its just life in general.  Things seem to peak and fall.  One day, one week is awesome and the next week I'm dragging myself through each hour thinking "What ...
