I sport highly unnatural hair and can't remember what my natural color fully is. I'm in the process of covering my body in ink and enjoying the process with each design laid. I work in music as a small time booking and promoting agent for bands and wouldn't trade it for all the tea in China. I still climb trees and dance in the rain. I sing loudly to my stereo, dance in my car and head bang at stop lights. I dance to no music in the middle of the street just for shits and giggles. I teach myself languages just for the sheer joy. I live for the color bright and/or neon green.

I smear my eyeliner and don't care. I love boys in makeup. I'm unpredictable at times. I combine bad colors and mix patterns. I love the smell of old, musty, dusty books.

I drink more than I should, smoke more than is good for my health, and swear more than is good for YOUR health. My idols are Bert McCracken and Daniel O'Day, a.k.a. Bopper. Lame, but their mine.

No One Goes Home owns my soul, AND your face. Don't fight it.

My home is the shows I frequent and the bands I've come to call family. There's nothing wrong in the world as long as the amps are plugged in and the microphones sound checked.

Jersey music makes me weak in the knees.
California music makes me wanna party.
Seattle music makes me rock.

No One Goes Home are my boys.
Fall From Grace are a new family.
River City Rebels are my roots.

It's time to "bring the rock"!

All else is evident to the naked eye.

There are so many I'd like to meet, ones gone from this world and ones not. I'd love to meet anyone who has something new to teach me or an idea that they wanted to bounce off of me. I'd love to meet my future self to see how badly I screwed things up, or not, and see if I need to change anything now. I would love the chance to meet those that are my family that I have never met, or those that I will come to call family over time. I'd love to meet the person who first thought of god and have a long talk with the crazy fool. I'd love to re-meet the people I have just gotten to know or have for years. I'd love the chance to meet Buddha and Jim Morrison.

Live music in any form. Music PR. The music industry and business world. Tattoos [covering my body in them]. I love really, really old dead things buried in sand in far away countries. Ancient/Dead languages, preferably Ancient Greek. Ancient cultures, Buddhist religion, learning new things and learning in general. Politics. Being/going out. Everything and anything that is Idobi Radio and DJ Rossstar. Traveling, college. Sleeping, sleeping and more sleeping. Anything Peter Pan related, or Halloween. Chicago, the city. Stars, the shapes and the creations of themselves.

"Nothing is wrong in the world as long as the amps are plugged in and the microphones soundchecked."

"You put the happy in my ness."

"Perhaps when we are old."

"If for one minute you think you're better than a 16 year old girl in a Green Day t-shirt, you are sorely mistaken. Remember the first time you went to a show and saw your favorite band. You wore their shirt, and sang every word. You didn't know anything about scene politics, haircuts, or what was cool. All you know was that music made you feel different from anyone you shared a locker with. Someone finally understood you. This is what music is about."

"I am not afriad to keep on living."

My mom for raising all of hellions and terrors on her OWN and managing to make sure we all turned out okay. Jerry Garcia for helping me grow up to be who I am, I loved that man dearly in my own way when I was little. I will never forget him singing me the Carebear theme song, peace rest his soul. Jim Morrison and Sid Vicious have always been heroes of mine, for their various reasons.

Anyone who has the courage to stand up and be who they are in front of the masses. Be it by picking up an instrument or microphone, writing, publishing, protesting, speaking their mind, dressing to suit themselves and not the world, whatever it is they are my heroes. The ones who are not afriad to stand and say "Hey! Here I am! You will listen and my voice will be heard". Anyone who has an oppinion and is not afraid to speak it, regardless if those around them support it or not. Speak it loud, speak it proud, but speak it truthfully and from your heart. Myself.
