About me:
My name is Mike. I'm in the Chicago-based band Treaty of Paris. I'm an Aries. I'm Italian and Slovak. My middle name is John. I enjoy life. I have fun. I live healthy...for the most part. I love new experiences. I love meeting new people. I'm sometimes shy but once you get to know me I open up. I someday want to meet and spend the rest of my life with a girl that makes me feel like Ben Folds felt when he wrote the song "The Luckiest." I'm simple, easy going, mostly positive and friendly. I love to smile and to make other people smile. I'm easily amused. I'm still a little boy inside. I enjoy the occasional deep conversation. I believe in a higher power. I believe in fate. I believe in true love though I still haven't found it. I believe we're all connected. One day maybe you'll believe in me.
Oh yeah. One more thing...
...I LOVE PIE!
Who I'd like to meet: You. I like people...especially real people...so if you're a real person talk to me! I read all of my messages. I'm sorry if I don't reply right away. I promise I will eventually. I never thought I'd say this but I've kinda become more of a facebooker lately. There...I said it.
i am doing great! i'm working on new songs right now. recording july thru august. then going on vacation (buffalo & italy!!!) so if you come out it should be before august 11th.
I'm pretty sure I'll be able to make it to the June 15 show. I have a meeting up north at 2pm so I might just have to see everyone :) How have you been?
You're very welcome! I bet you weren't expecting that Charlie was your present:) Yay for him keeping you company at work! Does his mood reflect your own?
But seriously. Feel free to talk to him at work. Out loud. No one will find it the least bit strange. I promise ;)
I'm fine. Unfortunately, you won't be seeing me either tonight or May 10. Don't know if I want to not spend time with mom on Mother's Day. And remember, I live in Peoria, so I'd have to spend less time with her if I were to make it to the show.
