About Me

STILL ILL

i do my thing.

"I am only one, But still I am one. I cannot do everything, But still I can do something; And because i cannot do everything I will not refuse to do the something that I can do"

"What happens to a dream deferred?
Does it dry up like a raisin in the sun?
Or fester like a sore-- And then run?
Does it stink like rotten meat?
Or crust and sugar over-- like a syrupy sweet?
Maybe it just sags like a heavy load.
Or does it explode?"

still vegan.
still straight edge.
still giving a fuck.
still doing what i love.

MY BOYS

THE DEAL

• music is where its at. creating / listening / participating.
• i really wish i could dance (that would be great) but being a suburban white boy has its disadvantages.
• i like to travel, Europe definitely my favorite so far, but i have also discovered that parts of the west coast have their charm as well.
• i'm looking forward to checking out Japan soon, and hopefully getting back to Europe asap. FUCKING RUSSIA!!
• i dig graphic/web deisgn
• i've started tattooing occasionally again (as in giving them), hopefully that will continue.
• i'm also really hot on getting more tattoos asap. check out Metamorphosis for awesome tattoo artists and piercers. (thanks to Donnie at Metamorphosis and the all-mighty Nick Baxter for my newest work. shit is TIGHT! Mr. Baxter is pretty un-fuck-with-able.
• yes, i am vegan and straight edge . no, that isn't going to change. yes, i think its the best way for me to live.
• no, it doesn't mean that i think you suck if you aren't. if i think you suck, its probably for other, unrelated, reasons.
• i consider myself a feminist. at base this is the (radical) idea that women are real people with interests and desires of their own, not just accessories for use by men.
• i'm currently working for an awesome vegan baking company, check it out: Strong Hearts Baking . this means i'm going to be out in california a lot.

IRRELEVANCIES

its the fucking internet, so suck it up.
for what its worth:
i run an independent record label (Catalyst Records), sing for a (hardcore) band called RISEN and at one time occasionally played guitar for another (hardcore) band GATHER (rip).
