About Me



The word that would best describe me would be: Word.

What I am currently doing: Working on a solo album, trying to put a band together (more difficult than one would think), writing new songs, and trying to whore myself out musically (if you have any other offers, throw them out on the table).

What I am working toward: Finishing my solo album, making a new band that will be the hottest thing since summer in Bakersfield, scoring a movie or five, and having everyone else realize that I am the rock star I say I am.

I would describe my music as: Jive Rock. Why not create your own classification?

Los Angeles: The Land of Fruits and Nuts: Or Not?

My Mothers Birthday

The Oddest Thing I’ve Seen in Quite a While

As you are doing your holiday shopping, there is one place that you might not have thought of visiting to purchase a gift.  I did not think of this type of place, either, so don't feel out of the...

Are you famous?

Last night, as I was at Howl at the Moon at Universal City Walk, I had some crazy chick demonstrate to me how idiotic and obsessive some people are. I was talking to a friend when this oddball walks ...

Of Confidence

Someone recently told me that I was the most self-absorbed person that they had ever met.  My response was a simple no.  That would be the furthest thing from the truth.  I have been gu...

Is Love Possible in Los Angeles? My Philosphy on Love.

I guess I would have to say yes, love in possible in Los Angeles, but that comes with a caveat.  I found love here, however brief.  But that's not what I was really referring to. Dating...

MySpace as a Weapon

I definitely find it odd that people use MySpace as a weapon.  Their "top" friends, the pictures they use as their default picture, people deleted as friends, etc.  Can't we just leave well ...

I guess now is as good as time as any.

This, being a week from the anniversary of my entrance into the world, seems as good time as any to change my perspective, my point of view.  Maybe I have given too much of myself.  That's o...

Sometimes, it justs hits the nail on the head, even when my head is in the past.

The past has passed, and your future lies ahead of you, beautiful and ripe with many exciting opportunities -- so why are you dwelling on things that just don't matter? You can't change what has been ...
