About Me

Glad to see the community coming together. Been making noise with my hands, heart, mind voice and electricity for 20 years. Living in Cali for the past 9 but am making a move back to NYC soon. Have songs and recordings and wanna get a project jumping off in the Summer/Fall of '09!

You can be my friend if...

Your eyes are open, your brain is working and your heart is beating to its own rhythm.

Favorite TV shows:

I avoid TV like the plague. I'm not trying to sound like I'm on some old intellectual "I'm too good to watch tv" shit cuz if it's on, I'll watch it even if I think it's crap. That's why I never turn the TV on except to play Playstation or watch DVDs. I have started getting certain shows from Netflix and I'll sit there and binge, watching multiple episodes in a night. Don't mess around and give me cliffhangers cuz I will not be going to bed EVER. The headlights this buck chooses to be stuck in would be...
The Dave Chappelle Show, The Boondocks, The Chris Rock Show, Carnivale, The Simpsons, The Old Twilight Zone, The Jeffersons, Real Time with Mill Maher, Deadwood, The Daily Show, Six Feet Under, Lost, Heroes, Lost.
