About Me

Ghost (a.k.a Kevin) is a bassist in Firebrands. He has ambitions of updating his myspace blog regularly and having a proper myspace page, but for now he has to be satisfied with a plain looking profile. This would be due to the tremendous amount of time and energy he puts into the process of being a good musician (this includes being a pompous ass), which does not involve simply the mechanical execution of a piece of music (it also involves drinking a lot of beer). He hopes that the music he creates with his band, Firebrands, will have an impact on people that will extend further than mere entertainment (mainly, we want to all your bases is owned by us).
Also, this is the place where all comments and questions should go to, about the bass work that *I* do in Firebrands. Ok ok, complaints will be grudgingly accepted. And maliciously deleted. MUAHAHAHAHA.
Alternate "About Me":
Kevin is a happy boy who doesn't do much work, likes to slack, and does the bare minimum to not get fired. He is your perfect CBD (Central Business District) worker, inured to the stresses of daily life of work, and hardy, much like the dung beetle.

THIS, this is what poetry IS. Stuff that the reader cares about, stuff that the poet cares about. I don't care about the language, about the rhyme or lack of rhyme or whatnot. I only know that when I ...
