About Me

I don't really like myspaces because I feel they promote vanity, and I don't like vanity. I figure however that this is a good way to keep in touch with friends so I guess I might as well give in.
I play bass, and I have been for about five years now. I'm in love with the instrument. I also play keyboard. I love doing anything musical and I'm always open to new music or musical projects.
I play bass and abuse my vocal chords in a post-screamo/trashy dance punk band called To The Barricades! Focusing on bringing back the friendliness and unity of what hardcore and punk was and still should be.
I don't like fake, vain, two-faced, cold-hearted, or mean spirited people. Too bad that's quite a bit of the people in this world. I realize hypocracy is part of human nature, but I hate it when people go overboard with it. So basically if you preach about something and you don't practice it, that pisses me off. Also if you are being overly hypocritical I will probably call you out on it, even if you are a close friend.
I love to meet new people however, and I always enjoy getting to know them and seeing their perspectives on life.
I'm laid back, I like to enjoy the few great parts about life. I enjoy being with my friends and hanging out and doing random things. I like relaxing things, like hanging out on top of rooftops or walking during the middle of the night. Summer is my favorite season.

My Blog

What straight-edge has become...

I think the straight edge movement has become more about looking cool and less about staying true to yourself. A lot of edge kids discriminate against kids who aren't edge and that is just sickening. ...
