About Me

It is what it is. I tend to find myself staring into space, even when it's the space in between the sky and the dark lake below. Perhaps I could fly if I tried just a little harder once in awhile. But in the meantime it's all about the music. Drums are the key to my universe. Be it hand drums, drum-kit, percussive gadgets to drive a beat into any rhythm, or just a trash can to beat on, it all makes me quiver in anticipation of getting my chops layed out. On another note, the ocean and I get personal even though the great mar still gives me the chills when I think of what may lie below. I still have yet to master the art of surfing, but never fail to atleast make people laugh while they watch me get my ass kicked in 3 foot swells. Who would have thought a ten foot long-board could be so tricky tricky.
