About Me

From NC I have spent the past 5-6 years in Socal working hard, living inbetween, playing music, recording, painting pictures, fuzz guitar and fender rhodes muddin the waters, listening to good music, reading books on a sunday, watching live music, photoshop freefall, making friends, losing touch with others, driving...i spend alot of time doing that, writing bad poetry, hiking some beautiful places, talking with my friends and family, watching enough basketball to make you sick, missing some things, finding new things along the way, listening to npr in the morning, what's been going on in your world?
