About Me

I'm open minded to almost all things. I'm an Atheist and I have music on the brain constantly and regardless of how much I listen to I can't quench this insatiable hunger for it. I recently got back into skateboarding, why I ever stopped is beyond me because its a way of life to say the least. To say that I take life in stride would be an understatement, but from my perspective I guess it's difficult not to be biased. I have a thirst for knowledge that is only inhibited by my lethargic demeanor, go figure. =P MyGen Profile Generator

Music:

Mostly rock, but I love hip hop and most electronic music excluding trance. I hate the "cool boy clubber" stuff. Favorite bands include Tool, Radiohead, The Mars Volta, Primus, Muse, Jimi Hendrix, Murder by Death, Kaki King, the Beatles, Blonde Redhead, Sean Lennon, Led Zepplin, Medeski Martin & Wood, David Bowie, Jefferson Airplane, The Doors, Jamiroquai, NIN, Pantera, Nirvana, Perfect Circle, Down, Pink Floyd, Cake, The Cursive, Omar Rodriguez Lopez, The White Stripes, Poison the Well, Portishead, Bob Dylan, Sepultura, Soulfly, Linkin Par...no wait, I hate them. M.C.'s; Talib Kwali, Mos Def, Common, Tribe Called Quest, Pharoh Monch, The Roots, Outkast, and anything done by Ninja Tune's, yes I mean ANYTHING, cuz its all good, no lie. Yes music is opinion based, you have the right to listen to the garbage if you do so desire. All the linken parks and the P.O.D.s and the nickelbacks and creeds and whatever other marginally talented artists with whiney ass suburban white girl lyrics that shouldn't be coming out of 30 year old men. Me, I choose not to.
