About Me

Everything about me is a paradox. I'm quiet and shy, but at the same time I'm loud and goofy. I'm not much of a party animal, but I'm always around big crowds of people with my music. We moved to Washington from Texas last year and have suffered a casualty as our singer moved back to Texas, so we've formed a new project with a new singer called Alchema . We were previously called Jolly Lhama . My personallity and interests are really weird and different, but at the same time I'm pretty old fashioned and conservative. Most people could never imagine that I could be an accomplished drummer because I'm so quiet, but it's like I become a completely different person when I'm on stage. I guess it's my true nature coming out that most people don't see. Anybody who really knows me as a friend, knows that I'm a lot more outgoing to people that I'm comfortable around. I'm a really sarcastic person with a strange and often "demented" sense of humor. If you walked into my room, you might find me listening to Killswitch Engage and watching Cartoon Network at the same time lol. I like being alone and thinking while listening to music... especially late at night. I enjoy writing, art, music, and anything else that involves creativity. I've often been told that I "live in a fantasy world and I'm not a rational thinker". I seem to have a completely different perspective on life than most people. I'm pretty sure that you've never seen such a scatter-brained, unorganized, person who could be so analytical and obsessive about really stupid things at the same time. Every aspect of my personallity seems to be on the complete opposite end of the spectrum from the others.
