Secret to happiness: Cheerios & Holy Fuck.

About Me

It's my goal in life to become the hippest indie kid on the block. Not really, I've just been into the music a lot these days. I live for it, it's my inspiration, my passion, my dream, and my love. There's this point when a song can be so good it gives you chills, and sometimes it doesn't stop... I like that. And sometimes a song hits you, it's so relevant to you at that moment, makes you feel so much, it's overwhelming. That's good too.
Otherwise, give me good food, good drinks, good fun, good times with friends & family, or any combination of the above, and I'm happy.
Hobbies include:
Wearing sweaters & jackets
Longboarding
Drinking cherry coke
Collecting mode-changing plastic models & other geeky pastimes
Discovering new music
Salad. Yes, salad as in that green stuff people eat on the side sometimes
Consuming too much caffiene for my own good
I also write/produce a bit of electronic music, which can be heard here: www.soundlift.com/kirbenvost
Before you ask - I don't play any instruments, I have not yet had the chance to learn, though I would very much like to.
Oh and I still need me some of them rock shows...

I'd like to meet:

People with morals. People with interesting and unique views. Creative people. Fun people. Basically, cool people. And people who still have a bit of innocence left. I also happen to have a thing for girls who play guitars and wear glasses, with hot lips and fine asses. Haha, damn I need to be a lyricist...
One thing - pornstars and friend-collectors need not apply. I'm not one to keep random people on my list if they don't talk to me, so if you wanna stay, at least chat a bit.

The Arcade Fire
