About Me

*college is overrated. reading is not. **people have forgotten Nirvana. i have not (sally six shooter has not).

faith and its journey...is pretty much everything anything in my life revolves around....and evolves into. i think about it all the time. thinking about it makes me want to live. im a hippie at heart. but ill outpunk the best of you with my poor decision-making. im a gypsie and i love highways.

In recent news:

After 4 years of life on the road with LAST TUESDAY...i took off for the country of birth: COSTA RICA. Quite literally under 24 hours from our very last show (and PBR's very second show) i started heading out to catch my plane out of BWI. While travelling from show to show...i had always told myself if i wasnt playing music i wouldnt be living state-side. The pace of life is too fast. In the band nonetheless...i was living the fastest of us all. A Hipocrite in appearance. But somehow i could justify it all...because i was making soooo many friends...spread out in faaaaaar away corners...and the only way to spend time with them all...was to book MORE shows....and drive faster.

But now...im slowing down. and i dont quite think it can get slower. Here...in ESPARZA, COSTA RICA...the closest thing i've know to home in 8 years....life is slow. Mail is slow. We are all late. We all walk. We all take siesta's. We all take several showers cause its hot. We all sit in front of our homes to chat with neighbors passing by.
