It's made of bits of real panther...so you know it's good.

About Me

Let's see, about me...i was born and raised in Alief, Texas (a suburb of Houston). I'm a civil engineer that designs highways. I love music, playing guitar, singing karaoke, I think it's my outlet or something. Musicly I tend to live in the 80's. I'll take a nice random track from New Order's Substance album any day over something new on the radio. I never get tired of a good Depeche Mode cd. I mean who amongst you can say that Violator isn't one of the greatest album's ever? I like to take complicated music tracks and cover them with my own version on acoustic guitar because to me there is no purer form of music then a singer and a piano or acoustic guitar. I cherish my friends, like my job, and love my hobbies... Me practicing before Larry's wedding. Flight of the Conchords
