About Me

i've been playing the drums since i was 12. i have never taken a lesson, and have no real plans to do so.
i love music. i am always buying cds. each new cd gets about a week's listening time in my car stereo, so i can at least learn the drum parts, song structure and some, if not all, of the lyrics. i love to air drum and sing along to songs. i'm kind of anti-burned cds. i love liner notes and artwork, so yeah.
i have an extensive t-shirt collection. most of them are band shirts that i buy when i go to concerts. it's become a tradition of mine to buy a t-shirt each show i go to.
i'm a relatively calm person. it takes a lot to piss me off. i am pretty opinionated though. debating issues can be pretty fun sometimes.
i watch WAY too much tv. my tv is almost always tuned to the history channel or the fuse music network. everyone should watch fuse. it owns mtv's face.
i think seinfeld is one of the best sitcoms ever.
i'm in college to become a music journalist. i'd love to work for revolver, kerrang, alternative press or rolling stone someday.
