About Me

Damn it. I can't write this. But please stick around long enough to listen to the songs. If you like my music, do tell me because it might drench me with self-worth for a little while. or maybe not.okay. lets talk about these songs that i supposedly write.the music is written about the human condition and its boundless mysteries. no. thats shite. it must be about the female form and ITS boundless mysteries. no. thats quite rubbish too..sigh..i don't know. i write songs because i can and because i enjoy the sound of my voice. yes, this seems quite accurate.but the question really, is do you like my songs? i think they're pretty good, some of them. and others, dire. myspace is where the talent-less masses rape each other whilst calling each other king. truth be told, i may just be one of the hideous hordes. but still, if you gave the next sensitive male songwriting sod a fair listen, there really shouldnt be a reason for you not to give me a chance.so whaddya say?If you wanna give me a gig or buy a cd or ask me a question, email me at [email protected]
