I'm a jaded old skate punk that just seems to keep on hangin' around. I don't really like most people cuz their stupid. Thank dog for the exceptions! I've been playing punk for 25 years. I'm glad the new kids are buying into this whole old school cred bullshit and letting us hang around awhile longer.I skate. Not Tony Hawk tech bullshit. I skate. Been skating as long as I've been playing punk. I've started or played in hundreds of useless HC bands over the years, some better than others. I'm an anti-civilizationist,taoist,and devout nihilist. I love shameless self promotion and need to keep the family name in the public eye, hence the myspace. I have a bad haircut. Actually, Chris fixed that. But then I fucked it up again. I think I have a bum heart. I'm convinced (from a premonition) that I'll be dead at 40(which is spooky, cuz I just turned 41). I'm pretty sure I'm being watched by the feds. I only have one dimple. I'm missing 5 teeth. I only see out of one eye at a time, so I have no depth perception. But at the golden age of 41, I realize I could die content in the fact that I've crammed a lot of living in those 41 years. Keep on fighting the good fight, and I'll see you in the ruins! T.L.C.S.™
