Jealous of Billy Elliot

Play the Piano Drunk like a Percussion Instrument

About Me

I roll my own cigarettes, just like I write all my own songs.

"As the Sun Sets Slowly in the West, We Bid You a Fond Farewell," is the title of my latest cd...

The track listing is as follows:
1. Nights like Fire
2. Desperate as the Night
3. Lullaby
4. The Misprints of Tabloids
5. The Only Defense
6. The Weatherman
7. A Collective Hum
8. Nashville Skyline
9. Closer to Sunrise
10. The Sharp End of Calligraphy/The Anatomy of Longing

I am very proud of this album, and hope you all will be too, once it is available for purchase. I should have some presale copies available as early as the beginning of November.

AIM = killmeclothes

I am fond of existentialism. I am technically an atheist, though I study, practice, and hold high-regard for Buddhism. I am currently working toward my BA in English at California State University Fullerton; also, with a minor in Philosophy. I am thinking of entering the masters program in a year and a half or so: either for English or photography. I also hold my Certificate in Photography from Riverside Community College. I was born in Anaheim, raised mostly in Garden Grove. I moved to Orange in my early teens, and then further inland to Norco in my mid-teens. I moved to Murrieta to live with my girlfriend, Elisabeth, in mid-December of 2006. Though the city is rather tame and uncultured, I do enjoy the solitude of my setting. Thanks to everyone who has supported me throughout my musical dive; I hope to keep you all satisfied as I continue to write, record, and produce songs. Thanks again!
