"Well what do you wanna be branded as?" "AWESOME!"

About Me

I'm making music for the sole purpose of making music. I'm doing it for the kids who can relate to it, and I'm doing it for the kids who will never understand me: maybe this will help. This is my heart via MySpace, feel free to criticize at will. I'm willing to jam and I'm willing to play at your birthday party, so hit me up! =) I'm friendly and I like to chat, and I love new people and new music. Talk to me, and you won't regret it. Listen to what I have to sing: I was born to do this.

"I'm only human, though I regret it." -Mark Twain
"If, after I depart this vale, you ever remember me and have thought to please my ghost, forgive some sinner, and wink your eye at some homely girl." -H.L. Mencken
"We are ugly, but we've got the music." -Leonard Cohen
"It isn't enough for your heart to break because everybody's heart is broken now." -Allen Ginsberg
"If neurotic is wanting two mutually exclusive things at one and the same time, then I'm neurotic as hell. I'll be flying back and forth between one mutually exclusive thing and another for the rest of my days." -Sylvia Plath
"I like too many things and get all confused and hung-up running from one falling star to another till I drop. This is the night, what it does to you. I had nothing to offer anybody except my own confusion. " - Jack Kerouac
"Is there world enough for me?" -Jane Frances
"You should never be embarrassed by your trouble with living. Because it's the ones with the sorest throats who've done the most singing." -Conor Oberst

Influences: Mad Girl's Love Song by Sylvia Plath

I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead;
I lift my lids and all is born again.
(I think I made you up inside my head.)

The stars go waltzing out in blue and red,
And arbitrary blackness gallops in:
I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead.

I dreamed that you bewitched me into bed
And sung me moon-struck, kissed me quite insane.
(I think I made you up inside my head.)

God topples from the sky, hell's fires fade:
Exit seraphim and Satan's men:
I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead.

I fancied you'd return the way you said,
But I grow old and I forget your name.
(I think I made you up inside my head.)

I should have loved a thunderbird instead;
At least when spring comes they roar back again.
I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead.
(I think I made you up inside my head.)"

I'm a Kerouac worshipper and a wannabe beatnik. Dig it.

If that’s moving up, then I’m moving OUT.
