I may not be pure but I'm not all that toxic

About Me

May 11
Hello, I'm Braxton.
I currently live in Salt Lake City, but for a month or two, I am living in Rock Springs, Wyoming.
I miss Salt Lake.
I am attending the University of Utah.
I am majoring in Biology.
I have two dogs and their names are Max and Jake.
I am addicted to coffee.
I spend way too much time surfing the internet.
I am currently trying to straighten my life out.
I play bass in MUNDANE
Anyone wanting to jam just hit me up.
Drugs scare me.
Tattoos are amazing and addicting.
I am a vegetarian.
I like to read, but I don't read much because I don't have time.
I like to play xbox every now and then.
I think that I am a recovering alcoholic who still drinks.
I am ready to make things in my past right.
I am learning how to forgive.
I am trying to be a better person than I have been for the last 2 or 3 years.
I LOVE music.
I love how music can say so many things and not say anything at all.
Music pretty much rocks my world.
I never thought it'd be me that'd take the fall.
If you want to know more about me, just ask me.
"I'm not larger than life. I'm not taller than trees. Do I mean what I say or is it just this disease, where I never go home. Never telling the truth of how this life eats away. Not admitting I'm fake. And I'm questioning whether this whole thing was worth it. To die poor and all alone." BAYSIDE-They Looked Like Stong Hands
"Alcohol is the anesthesia by which we endure the operation of life."
"The world is conspiring in your favor."

My Interests

listening to music, playing music, playing bass guitar, writing music, snowboarding, watching movies, going to concerts, raves
