I'm the one who doesnt give a damn!

About Me

Hey its Dan! An artist roaming the earth finding meaning in the creation of an almighty God. I'm 21 now and heading to Los Angeles for music school. I hope to be a musician for-hire in live performance and as a studio session player. I'm working most hours of the day. I'm an avid music listener. catching up on 40 years of rock and roll and trying to find new and inspiring bands. I play and write in my spare time. A christ follower at the core, i'm on a spiritual journey. I've got a lot of issues with the church, and i'm working through it. Hope in people, not institutions, seems to be a common thread in my thinking. I enjoy the arts and the emotive side of things. I'm a rocker and a beast on my axe, beware.

My Interests

Making fun of stupid politicians. . My interests vary widely from day to day, I like pondering, questioning. Music seems to be my main concern right now though. I am at the Contemporary Music Center on Martha's Vineyard for a spill. I do my own songwriting, minor recording, and do a lot more reading than i ever thought i wanted to. I spend many hours regathering that shattered masse of my heart, where its getting me, im not sure.

I'd like to meet:

Your mom. or my future wife, either is good.

My future only longs for the past

Is it hope, or is it desperation that grips me? I am feeling so adolescent. This being "grown up" is old like an athletic sock. I am growing weary of the whole process of making new friends. I certain...
