I am obsessed with music and sounds... I play the guitar and bass and program my own electronic music under the alias ghOsty... I have an open-mind, a twisted sense of humor, a fascination with all things paranormal (which makes me pretty hard to scare) and I'm damn near impossible to offend (Unless your really trying to, in which case I'll probably go off on you). If you have any questions after looking through this, feel free to ask me, really... and I DO mean ANY questions, yes even random ones!

I have an associate's degree in audio production, and I'm currently furthering that into a bachelor's degree at Dakota State University in South Dakota. I'm studying Digital Arts and Design with am emphasis in audio... other than that finding ways to kill time in the middle of nowhere South Dakota while waiting for our alien overlords to return sometime this year, or the end of the world, whichever comes first... it is 2012 afterall.

Playing the guitar or bass, programming synths, making people laugh, finding the brighter side to even the worst situations. Seeing what people aren't saying, I'm very very good at reading people, and I can almost always tell when I'm being lied to. I'm a good listener and I'm good at holding conversations about just about any topic... even really bizzare ones, in fact those are sometimes the best.

How easy-going I am, and my sense of humor. Then maybe my eyes, I've been told they're one of my better features and I'm very expressive with my eyes.

( A )Sin City graphic novels by Frank Miller, House of Leaves by Mark Z Danielewski, World War Z by Max Brooks, Watchmen by Alan Moore, Fear and Loathing and Hell's Angels by Hunter S. Thompson, Wall and Piece by Banksy, Slanky by Mike Doughty, Chuck Palahniuk novels, Harry Potter books, Blade Runner, The Road by Cormac McCarthy other strange fiction novels,

( B )Coen brothers films, Scorsese films, Kubrick films, Tarantino films, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Children of Men, The Matrix, Inception, Fight Club, Seven, ... and a bunch of comedies. Music and Short Videos done by Spike Jonze, Chris Cunningham, Mark Romanek, and Michel Gondry...

( C )I'm big into the more downtempo, experimental and less clubby electronic styles, but I'm also a pretty big metal-head and love other forms of noisier, heavier music. But really, I listen to all genres, quite literally (not the "Everything except Rap and Country like everyone says"). If it's good I'll probably dig it.... Okay I'll admit though, it takes a little extra work to get me to like Country, but everything else.

( D ) Italian food, Sea food, Mexican, and Chinese...you know what, I like any kind of food as long as it tastes good. I'm an adventurous eater, I like trying things.

my friends, my family, my guitar and bass, music making software, music in general, and a place to rest my head.

I spend time thinking about all kinds of weird things, from deep introspective thoughts, to philosophy, to random bullshit that just pops into my head... like "Where do hobos get their markers they use to write their signs with? How come you never see a hobo buying a marker with his change?"

Hanging out with my friends around town, maybe partying if there's anything going on, maybe at the bar, maybe at a show, maybe catching a movie,maybe just enjoying some time off by myself, makin music or playing some PS3 games who knows? Maybe something completley new and different. I mix it up, routines get boring.

I've always wanted to witness the end of the world mostly just to see how it all ends, I kinda hope something happens in 2012 even though I know it probably won't

You want someone fun to talk to, or have a laugh with, deep conversations and you have an open mind and a good sense of humor. I also love to talk about anything music related, hell, if I havent heard of it that's even cooler. Or if you think I seem cool, and think you just might wanna talk to me about whatever enters your mind, go ahead ask me anything, if you're polite about it I'll probably give you an answer.. Really I mean it anything.. even if it's something like "What would you do if you ever found yourself face to face with a talking polar bear?"
