About Me

Andrew Stephen Wiggins.
567 Moreland Avenue
Atlanta, GA 30316

I drink too much. I ride a bike with no brakes. I wash dishes for a "living". I am poor. I do not go to school. I record rock bands. The coolest thing I own is a guitar made out of aluminum. I play it in a rock band. Not a video game called Rock Band, but a for-real rock band called "Hawks".

Here's the big idea: You dig a big hole, shove a shit ton of money in it, set it on fire, and then spill beer all over it. And then you call the hole a "band".

Contrary to popular consensus, I do not enjoy embarrassing myself, but I still manage to do that pretty well.
What's that word for being really awesome at something you hate?

My Interests

recording music, playing music, listening to music, playing other people's music for other people, playing music in other people's bands, riding a bicycle, good whiskey

I'd like to meet:

Someone that means what they say.

Music:

most anything subversive, even (or especially) in relation to the culture that produces it. What I listen to on a daily basis changes daily so listing things is a little inefficient. It's safe to say I'm down with anything that sounds like they broke something expensive while recording it.

Movies:

I'm not that picky. I like David Lynch.

Television:

The Boondocks. Law and Order. The X-Files.

Books:

I'm not that picky. I like Kurt Vonnegut just like everyone other white kid from the suburbs.

Heroes:

That band Chavez.

New houses, diseases, interests, businesses

I like it. I also don't have a camera, so you gotta see it in person. I'm *immesely* content, comfortable, relieved, excited, etc. I've had strep throat for the past week. Found a doctor that caters t...

Cold Absence

So, everyone knows I flipped out and kicked everyone out of the last band I was in. There's no hard feelings between any of us, I'm just fickle, I guess. Since then I've been trying and failing to kee...
