About Me


I break my own heart, I'm a firecracker, and youth quaker. I have a passionate love affair with music and since then, I haven't looked back. Dancing in the rain, in a non-John Cusack kinda way is so romantic and free, that I think everyone should do it more often. I've got a definitive love for men with lips. So baby, let's light the candles and step to the edge. Say a prayer, hold your breath, and count to ten. Take my hand, and let's jump off the edge. We're all going down.

NOTE: IF I DON'T KNOW YOU OR YOUR BAND, I WILL NOT ADD YOU... I DON'T ADD LURKERS!!!

Union City Blue and El Quijote

So I was watching the TODAY show before I had to take my car into the dealership this morning. As I was watching Debbie Harry play with Blondie, it made me miss New York SO much today. That whole CBGB...
