About Me

Hi, i'm Chris. I'm trying really hard not to be a sour faced bastard, but it's really difficult sometimes. I have a lovely girlfriend and some swell friends that make it a bit easier though. I like many things, but most all of them relate back to good ol' fashioned rock n roll and driving(alot) in some way or another. I do stuff in the band We Miss the Earth.
You Are... The Jesus And Mary Chain.You are moody and unpredictable. You are the
underdog who refuses to sink to the bottom. You
have more talent than you ever really let
anyone know. It almost seems as if you try and
sabotage whatever good things may be going on
in your life, and you often feel like you may
be giving people a bit too much of yourself.
Being in the spotlight is something you find to
be rather uncomfortable though you secretly
yearn to be loved by everyone. You lean toward
things of a darker nature and are prone to self
destructive tendencies. You struggle with
happiness for the simple fact that you seem to
be in love with your misery. You are a realist.
