About Me

We as a culture have left our evolutionary progress behind in pursuit of the product and the product culture. We have sent ourselves into a downward spiral where if you do not live our way, then you must not live. This route will extinguish our species as well as thousands of others within a very short time. Enjoy your McWorld.

I'm Ross. Hi. I'm a kid living in Austin, and an average citizen hailing from the glamorous fortune that is West Texas. I haven't had an actual description on here in a long time, so I decided I ought to. I love creating things, I'm passionate, and it doesn't require much to get me to give my all. I'm musical, drunken without being drunk, and I really don't understand. I like implied meaning followed by absolutely directness. I'm vegan and I cook. I skate up 24th to Guadalupe about every day. I play drums like coconuts. I live across from some frat boys, and they broke my passenger side mirror. I enjoy using "you" in my profile because you don't know who I'm talking about. My first name is Joseph.

I also have a Myspace page for my music

The War on Your Conscience
