About Me

Hello and Welcome to my nightmare
"Poontang is the grubby little middle man you have to go through to get the girls"- Master Shake
[email protected]
"All the world's indeed a stage And we are merely players: Performers and portrayers, Each another's audience Outside the gilded cage."
I'm a musician, I've been playing bass (electric and upright) for about six years, I use 4, 5, and 8 string basses. I do a little bit of keyboards, and backing vocals. I played Jazz and Classical music for three years, and I'm an avid studier of music theory. I'm Global Decay's bassist, for more info on that band peak into the blog that's constantly updated for news and updates.
Also peak into the blog "Kosmo Band Discography" to see what I've played in.
"That is not dead which can eternal lie, And with strange Aeons even death may die"
I'm from a small town in Maine, I relocated to Florida to pursue music and all has been satisfactory at this time. In the "work world" I am a corporate whore, and have been a supervisor since leaving high school.
"The hypocrites are slandering the sacred halls of truth"
I enjoy video games, mostly rpgs to consume what time I have away from music and work. I'm a tea drinker, preferably Earl Grey- Black and Hot. Since missing out on lots of sleep I really enjoy to do it when I can. I'm a fan of Whiskey, I used to do strait shots, but in my age and relocation I've stepped down to mix drinks. Jameson and Coke equals excellence and also, through some experimentation it was discovered that Black Velvet goes very well with Cream Soda and a dash of Orange Soda.
"When a man lies he murders some part of the world, These are the pale deaths which Men miscall their lives"
"In this place it seems like such a shame.
Though it all looks different now,
I know it's still the same
Everywhere I look you're all I see.
Just a fading fucking reminder of who I used to be."
"Blood and death are waiting like a raven in the sky, I was born to die, Hear me while I live, as I look into your eyes none shall hear a lie."
