About Me


My name is Adam. I play guitar in a band called The Perennial , and every once and a while I write a new Kids Icarus song. Clearly, I love music and I'm a huge nerd. I'm vegan, and no, I don't party unless soda, veggie burgers, and ZZ Top are present. I'm a nice guy, say hello.

"Just remember what ol' Jack Burton does when the earth quakes, and the poison arrows fall from the sky, and the pillars of Heaven shake. Yeah, Jack Burton just looks that big ol' storm right square in the eye and he says, 'Give me your best shot, pal. I can take it.'"

M: My Disparagement Of Indifference

I carry solicitude for all life, save for the destroyers of such. For them, I carry only scorn. These words, due to their austerity, are bound to misinterpretation. Be that as it may, I feel such dist...

H: Please Read, Please Think.

The fact that there are people whom own two homes, when not everyone owns one is outrageous. The fact that there are people whom don't even have access to clean drinking water, and all we worry ourse...
