Nobody will ever beat Umphrey's McGee

About Me

Myspace Layouts by Pimp-My-Profile.com

I'm using this myspace account to connect people to local and underground music that they may otherwise never hear and to meet up with old friends and make some new ones.

Likes: concerts, movies, good-hearted people, children, musicians, artists, fruit, humor, hospitality, inspirational quotes, humble people, uniqueness, creativity, imagination, people who know who they are.....

Dislikes: know-it-alls, stuck up people, assholes, shitty music (think new country, most rap, and Blink 182), fake people, liars, coconut, peas, onions (but I like onion rings, isnt that ate up?)........

My Interests

Playing guitar with the band "Breakfast for Dinner", going to see Umphrey's McGee and various other concerts, writing music, watching movies, listening to music, art...

I'd like to meet:

Anyone who likes Umphrey's McGee (umphreaks are good people!), people with similar or interesting music and movie preferences, and people that don't suck.

People who think "Deep Thoughts by Jack Handy" is some of the funniest shit ever. Here is a link to some deep thoughts... http://www.cco.net/~jpete/deepthou.htm
