I was raised the only child of two mildly hippie-ish parents. My mother drove a yellow carmengia, that she called chiquita banana. My father drove a harley davidson and had a beard. (gee, i wonder who i took after) At the age of about 5 years old I began raiding their record collection and became quite versed in the catalogs of the Beatles, Bob Dylan, Yes, and many others(even the Pointer Sisters).
I began to make my own headway into music by listening to bands like Sunny Day Real Estate, Radiohead, Del Amitri, Mogwai, and also a lot of heavy metal.
I have played in several bands such as This Runs Through, Calm, The Absence, and Cumshotte....

All time is all time. It does not change. It does not lend itself to warnings or explanations. It simply is. Take it moment by moment, and you will find that we are all, as I've said before, bugs in amber.

My father, for busting my ass until I was actually good at something: Life
About me: People seldom do what they believe in. They do what is convenient, then repent.I have played guitar in a lot of bands. I currently perform songs that I write on acoustic guitar and I also play guitar in a rock band called The Beauvilles.
Fuck you. Kill the insencere. Polluted minds prevail.
ARTdoesnotequalMONEY Put and end to mainstream media....
immediately.
I define nothing. Not beauty, not patriotism, I take each thing as it is, without prior rules about what it should be. i hope that my life stands for all that is true and honest.
that i live my life uninhibited and stay true to the things I believe in. creation is eternity.

Tiger got to hunt, bird got to fly; Man got to sit and wonder, 'Why, why, why?' Tiger got to sleep, bird got to land; Man got to tell himself he understand.

Who I'd like to meet: For a moment lose your fears>
There's no need for them in here>
I know that it's hard to trust>
Memories of love covered in dust>
You just need a helping hand>
So do I maybe together we can stand>
Scared to leave reason behind>
Have we lost our goddamn minds?>
>
Is it alright?
Is it alright?
Baby if we fight
We just might be alright>
I know it's hard to stay awake>
But there's much more than dreams at stake>
Everyone's been hurt before>
And swore they'd love again no more>
But that don't mean we can't believe>
There's nothing up our respective sleeves>
We could give this just one chance>
The sweetest love ignited by a glance.

I had a great time at New World Brewry the other night. I think your guitar playing is getting even better. You were definately on fire at NWB.
And what is it with Shawn messing with you so hard? He grabs your face, and is like, "You're great man!" Then, when you do the same he says, "Don't touch me." Sometimes I think he needs some Zoloft in his beer.
But keep up the good work. Take care, and as always, have fun.
