About Me

"When I first came here, this was all swamp. Everyone said I was daft to build a castle on a swamp, but I built in all the same, just to show them. It sank into the swamp. So I built a second one. That sank into the swamp. So I built a third. That burned down, fell over, then sank into the swamp. But the fourth one stayed up. And that's what you're going to get, Lad, the strongest castle in all of England. " ___________________________________________________________ About myself... I'm into riding mountain and road bikes, playing and creating music, and beating the crap out of my old Buick. I love to have fun. My favorite past time is people watching and making fun of them. I have come to grips with the fact that I'm an aging hipster. Don't look or act my age and I probably never will. If I had to think of something important to come up with, I guess it would be to always remember your friends and family, they are the only people who will be there for you when the shit hits the fan. I say this from first hand experience. ___________________________________________________________ Have a listen to my music over at my "band" page 20MILEFREEFALL Let me know what you think.
