Texas, quitting bands, Guitars, lowrider bicycles, independent media, sub-machine guns, whiskey, my cat, my record collection, lost civilizations, alien abductions, conspiracy theories, starting record labels, women, pawn shops across the street from liquor stores, liquor stores across the street from chuches, the hot tub/pool @ the g-yard, not paying back my business loan, falling off of magazine racks, LIVE MUSIC, maintaining my bitchin' beard, making an ass of myself, watching people make asses of themselves, rollin' hard in tha EDT, recording your band (and making you sound better than you really are), hiding from stalkers, starting new bands, hiding from creditors, entropy (any and all types), tattoos, forgetting your name, sleeping, eating, home hangover remedies, Texas history, dominoes, total fucking world domination
