About Me

Unhealthy obsession with music and art that often demands that I immerse myself in as much of it as I can. I play guitar for Every Other Fate and enjoy every minute of it. There is nothing more fulfilling than expressing yourself in front of other people by doing something you also enjoy. I like chicken alot. My nickname is Bird so that presents quite an ethical dilemma. Oh well. I also enjoy spending time with my loving fiancÃ© (who by the way is the sexiest and most wonderful woman on the face of this planet... hope she's reading this) and my friends, who are also my bandmates... and work with me. I see them alot. :|

Love many books...hard to list. Ishmael was the most recent. The journal Brent wrote for the album is a damn fine piece of literature.

Tonight around 7:00PM I had a collision with a deer on Purgatory Rd. Fitting name, huh? It pretty much totaled my Metro, bashing in the hood and headlight on the left side. As trite as it sounds, this...
