About Me



This terminology was put forward in an attempt to reduce the confusion generated by previous conflicting terms

I'm absolutely in love with everything that is music. I was born in Indiana, moved to Chicago, and somehow ended up on the east coast. I play guitar and bass, but my voice is my best instrument. Im going to school for my BA in Network Engineering.

I enjoy meeting new people always. I get some of my best thoughts: a) late at night b) in the shower c) in my dreams. I have an awesome sense of humor and personality, if you're lucky enough to get the chance to know me. It depends how you present yourself to me. I'm true to myself at all times. I appreciate honesty, a dying trend. I like to think of celebrities as glorified regular people.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Fellow music enthusiasts. Anyone with a great sense of humor, matching personality, and a dash of spontaneity. Someone stellar.

A love song to everyone I know

I really need to stop worrying about trivial things in life. I get so worked up about everything when it all comes crashing down on me simultaneously. It's nothing I haven't overcome in the past. What...

Chris Cornell @ The Avalon

Time has told me you're a rare find

I don't want to be one to complain, but quite frankly I'm a little restless after the last 4 weeks.This is not geared at anyone. It is, but not directly. Not directly, because there are 6-7 people (no...

Dinosaur Jr.

I hate posting about a concert days after the show. You just lose crucial pieces of little details. Luckily I took good mental photography (sometimes).The show was up in Boston. It is a brisk wednesda...

An mp3 and a show

I played a quick/fun show Wednesday night, just to get out and play again. Kyle, Corey+Steve, and Megan were so awesome to come out as well. I ended up playing a short set, but Steve played a bunch of...

Rationalize with your incessant lies

So my first week of massive overtime is over. I was supposed to work 60 hours covering, but that quickly turned into 70 hours this week. We had a new system change the prior week from the legacy syste...
