I am here for Friends

About Me

I (still) live in French Lick, and I'm 18. I have hazel eyes and short brown hair. I need to get a job, but I really don't feel like working right now: my brother and I are working on an album and that's exhausting enough (working with him anyway). I really like listening and writing music and lyrics, so I don't get out much. I'm going to Purdue to major in some kind of engineering this fall.. unless of course I switch my course of study because engineering is hard and I'm lazy. I really would like to be a music production engineer or something to that extent because I love good music (I mean GOOD MUSIC, there's a big difference between that and crap). I have a band and we're in the practice stage right; We'll be playing a bunch of covers and a select few of my original songs so watch for us in the Orange County area. Anyway, check out a preview of my band at http://www.myspace.com/soulsextent and tell us what you think!
