My music is hard for me to describe. If you can provide a good description for me... please... do. :~O I guess a healthy blend of electronica, folk, and choral music influences me... though I can be found listening to many other genres, including things like the more, eh, interesting metal bands, big band and older jazz recordings and the occasional prog-rock band.

I don't like myspace. It's a really silly place.
I do like putting up my music in a place where people can listen to it, though. I guess some day I hope to record a real album of my own original material. Hopefully I'll see that day come.
Till then, I hope you enjoy what's up here, and I'll try to crank out more songs.
:D
sounds dope. You're right, its not that important to jump into the situation fully prepared, but its good to think about. I need to find a job, I am hoping to be able to make pipes and bongs and sell them to the new pipe shop in town. That would be ideal, or work at a nursery or something. Art store maybe... anyways, the main thing is getting that monthly income so that we can rent a place. This sounds really ambitious, and if we keep our spirits up and about us, I think we can do this.
I am totally down.. I want to meet all these folks. Haha the meeting could be around a table with a shiny lil hookah on it. So many exciting things happen in life when you are productive!! shiiit. But yeah, we definitely should get together and talk very seriously about everything. There are many things we need to take into consideration, like food, bathroom materials, kitchen materials, etc. We would have to set up some kinda rules or agreements or something so that things stay unified and chill. Living with others can be tricky, but it can be a shit load of joy and fun. We just gotta make sure its all good and everything.
Yeah I am up for anywhere really, as long as it isn't anywhere shabby or weird hahaha. Ideally somewhere in the countryside, just outside of any town or city.. being close to Sebastopol and the JC are really the only important things for most of us I am guessing. But then again, bus routes and all can help with all that, being on the fringe of town would be really nice though. But obviously we gotta take what good chance we get.
Dude I wouldn't mind sharing a room, thats definitely something that us hippies could get used to. If it means more space to garden and appease the medical gods, then its definitely worth it! Yeah give me a call if you go, the only thing is that I am going to Europe on sunday, and I'm there til the first of January.
I just finished the hookah building the hookah, and its damn groovy!!! I just hope it smokes well!
That would be perfect, I was planning on trying to move out around my birthday, and thats on Feb 20. Living with that group and kind of people would be straight awesome. Ideally we should have a secluded gardening space... I am going to get a Medical Card for my migraines. But to get a gardening space at all would be amazing. I could grow a lot of veggies and eventually that would cut down a lil on food money. Well it sounds like an ideal plan, and if you ever go house hunting, I am totally down to go with you.
Yeah I get to work on my hookah today, so once I get back from Europe, I get to glaze it and then it can be enjoyed. :) I hope it comes out well, I have some bomb flavors to smoke once its ready. You will be one of the first I'll hit up! We can have a tea hookah art ceremony get together with some awesome people! hahaha
Dude I would love that... both on the collaboration and living space. How much would it be and with who? And around when would it happen? I would love to come over and just bring some paints or something, unfortunately I cant take bong rips for now, but I'm working on that. :D for now, I am making a hookah in my ceramics class down at the art center, once its done you should come over for a shish session!
Naw! shit man, I thought I updated you! haha, I moved out of there months ago. I was living with Vinnie for a while, cus things weren't workin out with my mom, but I've decided to put up with it for now, and I'm living with her. I would love to move out in the spring though, or maybe in the summer or something. things are going alright though, you should come by and chill sometime soon! And what plans had we made for a collaboration? Sorry, I forgot! I've been talking to a lot of people about collaborations... do you have facebook? I just uploaded pictures of my newest work to it, I might upload them to this as well.
Ohh, but your all done with school, or no? sounds like your getting alot done though, period of productivityy. oh petalumas just the same. i'm good, alot going on but its too much to explain really. how was the end of your summer?
