...what a long, strange trip it's been

About Me



My name is Jordan Dykes.

Q: Isn't that a slang term for lesbians?
A: Yes.

I play guitar and have played for a long time. I dig music. To hear me play, check this out: DYKES, A.K.A. STRANGER THAN FICTION . That's my old band in which I played guitar and sang. I'm now playing guitar with a new band that doesn't have a name yet, but so far everything seems pretty solid.

I definitely have my own personal morals and values and follow them wherever they lead me. I'm a bit of a perfectionist, but I'm also a bit lazy which occasionally creates quite a predicament because sometimes I'm too lazy to perfect something so it just eats at me.

I work when I have to, but usually just try to have a good time.

Drama, while fun to watch, is not fun to have.

My Interests

Playing guitar, listening to music, writing music, music theory, jamming, meaningful conversation, having a good time
