About Me

I have spent 5 months on an album that's almost finished. Go look for it. Still no text messaging please. Or photos. Or touching. And definitely none of those hug/kiss-on-the-cheek greetings (unless we're in Brazil). I have very little use for non-guitar-related electronic devices. I am a Los Angeles Clippers season ticket holder. I'm starting to think that maybe Steppenwolf is a vastly-underappreciated band. According to 80s movies, the kids nowadays are technically nerds. My cowboy shirt collection is getting a little bit out of hand, especially considering I'm afraid of horses.

Sammy Hagar.

1. In your memory, pull up the song "How Do I Know When It's Love" by Van Hagar/Halen. Got it? Okay. 2. Mentally stroll through the "...it's got what it takes...so tell me whyyyy can't. this. ...
