About Me

NO BANDS PLEASE! UNLESS I KNOW YOU GUYS! I HAVE TOO MANY PEOPLE ON MY LIST AS IT IS!Life's too short so catch my sparks while you can! I'm a spud man I've got eyes all around! I'm part robot, musician, social scientist, punker, sound engineer and occasional artist. Music is now my main artistic outlet NU-TRA . I enjoy bad art, good art and all points inbetween. I like striking conversations with strangers whether they like it or not. I adore my friends and they mean the world to me. I can't stand bad drunks... I like to make people laugh, cry and crap their pants all at the same time. I love to travel. I am a go getter and I have never been so focused in my life. I like to dance like a robot because it is sexi. I start break dance battles when I drink! I love my country but I hate my government. Yeah I got a chip on my shoulder but a good soldier knows when to knock it off!

I'd like to meet:

Who do I want to meet? Artistic people! The people that make music and art so important to you and me. People that choose to swim against the current. People I don't want to meet?
