About Me

I'll take my punk rock heartfelt and my indie rock pretension-free. With a side of thoughtful hip-hop. And for dessert? Guitar Hero. Easy on the eighties.
I put together a mean mix CD/tape. Ask me for one. Then wait in amazement as it takes me weeks to slowly piece it together, ensuring that the track-listing and flow is perfect.
I'm a runner. I feel that Calvin And Hobbes is the greatest comic strip ever.
Sometimes I try to skateboard. Or write a short story. It never goes very well. I have lots of ideas but can't quite get them out on the page. Or the asphalt, as it were.
I really miss college radio. Alot. But I guess that's what blogs are for: writing about music. I should really get on that.
I'm a hopeless romantic with an overactive imagination and a jones for air-guitar. And a mean addiction to caffeine. I know what I want out of life, but I have no idea how to get it. I'm working on that last part...
IM me or something: i watch scrubs x

Slacker Radio, Final Semester: Week .2

I wasn't too pleased with the way today's show came out. The playlist flowed poorly, song selection was flimsy at best. At least I had a funny talk break or two with Kyle, relating to Valentine's Day....
