Fuck up the world enough, the world fights back.

About Me

I love music, writing, reading, dancing, traveling, and the small things in life.I am self-sacrificial to a major fault.
I run a record label called Brightskull Records, in that fill up my closet with awesome records and build debt sort-of-way. Check it out on myspace or on the net .

My Interests

reading, writing, glimpsing into people's lives, climbing trees, roadtrips, diy music and culture, playing music, dumpster diving, astronomy, dancing, camping, cooperative living, life.

I'd like to meet:

people in love with life. people with a story to tell. sincere people. people unconcerned with image and fashion. people who care about the world and those around them. people interested in community. people who aren't afraid to let it all go and just dance. people who understand the beauty of making someone smile or a star-filled night. people who also live by one of my only doctrines: "it's not that hard to NOT be an asshole."
