Books

About me: Analytical to the point of self destruction. I spend my free time listening to music, talk radio, watching good films, and trying to look smart. It usually doesn't work out. I play music and am currently attempting to write some. I play drums in the band Glowb. We have a myspace and www.glowb.org.
I have a very sarcastic, dry sense of humor. I'm soft spoken and the laws of acoustics dictate that in the average room, my voice can only get about three inches out of my mouth before it hits the floor, unheard by anyone.
Regarding art, the more fucked up and whacked out something is, the more I seem to like it. I enjoy noise and screaming just as much as classical string trios. I have a void that needs to be filled. I try to be a kind, polite individual as much as possible. Sometimes it's just not possible...
make up and stickers and ponies.

Who I'd like to meet:
Electric Masada
You have a 88% chance of surviving a zombie outbreak
You most definately will live through the zombie attack making you a lean-mean zombie killing machine. You would save the day and probably end up doggystyle with a hot chick you saved, later having a giant statue made in your honor. Jerk.
