i spend a lot of time wishing i were writing songs. it's more productive than writing them because given 20 minutes i can convince myself i could sit down and write a whole album in one sitting, and record it and everything. when i actually have a guitar in my hands i generally can't even eke out a nice little ditty. sometimes, though. i'm a rocker. sing, play guitar, etc. i'm in seattle forming a band and trying to go places, and i do more informal solo stuff as well. i like good music. it is pretty much my favorite thing.

playing music. moving in.

haven't quite figured this one out yet.

i look like i'm from out of town.
