About Me

i'm chase. i thrive on many art forms to fuel my will to live...to be vague. specifically music, among other things. lots of music. it's hard for me to get enough. i like the possibility of change. i'm a walking contradiction. on an average day i'm manic, and conflicted. i think too much and not enough. i'm overwhelmed with what life has to offer. i want to know every last thing about people i find very interesting and be friends with them forever. i also want nothing to do with these said people. i detest and revere humanity. i like natural light. i'm a messy clean freak. many times wind blows from ear to ear. usually i'm too happy or too sad, many times all at once. always and never too comfortable/uncomfortable to be myself. i like driving in the dark for long periods of time. i really like good sounds. collecting sounds in my mind. deciding what sounds to use. i love simple pleasures. i like anticipation. i'm not sure about myspace. i like good luck however, don't believe in luck. i can't think coherently. and surprisingly have an amazingly deep love for life.
