About me: I am me.
I'm currently playing in a blues band called the Andrew James Trio. It's a lot of fun. Check out the myspace page, but Jordan and I don't play on that CD, so it's a bit different live.

Who I'd like to meet: A girl who is musical or artistic, enjoys philosophical debate (and is good at it, and doesn't frustrate me), who supports my unrealistic dreams that I live for, and who stays up late with me, I guess, because otherwise we'll hardly see each other... oh yeah, and she can't have a boyfriend. Is that too unrealistic? If she liked Rock music, that'd be nice... And somewhere in there she has to be hot.

I owe everyone an apology. I’ve given a lot of empty promises in the past three years, and I would like to start with a clean slate.
The love of my life, Shirese, has given me enough confidence to finally change. I am ready to get off my ass and reach for my goals.
Some of the people I am sending this to have been treated poorly by me, even used…. Some of the people I am sending this to have been ignored by me… and all of the people I am sending this to have been let down by me, in my opinion. I am sorry, with all of my heart.
I am going to work thoroughly on my new album, In Need of Direction, until completion. I am going to begin playing shows, and producing merchandise, all in good time. And I am going to try my hardest to treat you all better. Friends, family, everyone.
Please support me in my change of character, I need help. With love, -Lucas Onstott
