Daydreaming days in a daydream nation.

About Me

Just an excitable boy! That's what they say at least.

My Interests

Music, movies, books. That's about it. Don't you love that about me?

I'd like to meet:

Well, I would say everybody but that would take a bit of time. But what the hell, EVERYBODY!!!! Unless of course you are a fan of Linkin Park or any of those kinds of bands. In that case do not come near my profile, I so hate you.

Let's see, Bob Dylan, The Velvet Underground, The Rolling Stones, The Kinks. The Clash, Talking Heads, Radiohead, The Ramones, Smashing Pumpkins, The Who, Beck, Television (the band not actual television), The White Stripes, Joy Division, The Strokes, Nick Cave, Townes Van Zandt, Nick Drake, Tom Waits, NIN, Neil Young, Captain Beefheart, the Mr. Lou Reed, Led Zeppelin, Sonic Youth, Nirvana, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, David Bowie, Simon & Garfunkel, Ryan Adams (yes, I really do), PJ Harvey, The Stooges, T.Rex, just to name a few.
