...so you've read everyone elses bio and are thinking, hey i wonder what that short, chubby, quiet guy who hides behind the drums has to say....well too bad, i dont give out free info....
ok fine, put down the weapons...ill tell you a little.
...music has always been a prominent part of my life. growing up i listened to everything my older brother was blaring through his stereo or mimicking on his bass guitar. as time passed i started associating memories with certain songs, so everytime i heard a song on the radio i would reflect on a past event(good or bad). thats when i came to realize how much music can affect a persons life...whether its sepultura or the refreshments, the bosstones or the clarks, strife...johnny cash or pink floyd....every style/period of music has a profound effect on my daily life and hopefully someday, someone will say the same about us....
likes.......reptiles, candles, cheesy horror films and kevin smith movie conversations, halloween, weird auxillary percussion instruments i cant play, button!, touring, lazy sundays, ghost hunting, etc.
dislikes.....pepsi blue, reality tv shows, atkins diet books, mornings, malls, hanging kitty posters, cap. letters(but you prob. figured that one out), etc.
....so there you have it...any other info must be gained through a best two out of three falls rugby match and since i was never good with endings ill leave you with some lyrics to survive by....
"if art is still inside i feel it
i wanna bleed show the world all that i have inside
i wanna scream let the blood flow that keeps me alive
take all these strings they call my veins
wrap them around every f@#king thing
presence of people not for me
well i must remain in tune forever
my love is music i will marry melody
won't you let me take you for a ride
you can stop the world try to change my mind
won't you let me show you how it feels
you can stop the world but you
wont change me
i need music to set me free
to let me bleed"
---bleed by cold
"is it true its always happy hour here
and if it is id like to stay awhile
well as cliche as it may sound
id like to raise another round
and if your bottles empty
help yourself to mine
thank you for your time
...and heres to life"
---mekong by the refreshments
"close yet far
drop me a line and tell me how the hell you are
and ill tip my hat to those who cant believe its me,
though i never never never ever wanted this to be"
