All the really pretty girls get pregnant.
It's a real challenge to complete a story arc and end up with a cool punchline in 120 characters.
The thing you realize as you get older is that parents don't know what the Hell they're doing and neither will you when you get to be a parent
Look at me... look at me... I need the attention, oooh I'm punk rock I got some tattoos, I got some piercings. If I'm gonna get some piercings then I want everyone to see it...I don't need to advertise my punkness. A real punk doesn't need to show off...Its like a Karate man... the Karate man bleed on the inside. A real punk is punk on the inside.

I just want everyone out there to know that I'm super-awesome and a great guy and really cool to talk to and that I appreciate all the support.
Ideas are really what interest me in producing a band, if I can bring something productive to the project.
