About Me

I'm a musician, I play the bass guitar. I used to be in Newandyke (2004-2005), then I was in Lucid the River until we broke up (2005-2007). NOW I'm in SWALLOW THE OCEAN . I also have an acoustic project called the Forest Room. I like to play music. I'm an Art-Graphic Design major at SCSU, in my senior year. I work for a pharmaceutical company in Stratford. I'm either really outgoing or really shy at first. Trust and communication are very important. I like hugs. I think about things alot, sometimes too much. I have a weird sense of humor. . . blargabba. . .ummmm. . . I'm a dork. I tend to laugh hard at my own jokes which makes others laugh because my jokes aren't that funny. I get complimented on my sideburns quite often. I'm addicted to vitamin water. Which SLC Punk are you?
You are Mike!
