About Me

I like walks in the park, soft shimmering rain falling down upon me as I mix pina coladas by the fire pit down at the local landfill. Yappy puppies and amusing jokes about priests who during medieval times kept earthworms as pets and ran shouting huzaah!, huzaah! I like stories about kites and their misadventures while aloft high above us, calling to us to join them but alas we cannot hear them, for they are kites and we do not speak kite..ish nor do we have tails. I constantly indulge in creative pursuits. I'm a woodworker, sculptor, have begun building some custom guitars, I do some acting, work itinerantly on movie crews, I've been drawing and writing poems since a kid and was lucky enough to help build and redesign the worlds largest Dinosaur "Argentinosaurus Hinculensis". The bandname is mine , Alexander, in Arabic, I'm also of Irish descent and...I'm from Joisey. Welcome to what I've thus far been able to record. It's thanks to friends of mine that I've gotten most songs here on "tape" for you all to hear, I hope you like.

These are some of the things that I like and it's a little bit about meeeee, now how 'bout you?..
