About Me

  • About Me: I'm a college student, just living life and trying my best to learn what I can. I have a crazy love for music. I can never seem to get enough of it. And none of that mainstream junk you see on MTV a billion times a day or hear on the radio enough that you'd think all the stations had it on repeat. No. I prefer, raw, emotional, hit-where-it-hurts-the-most music that usually shows up with local bands. It always means so much more when you can talk to the bands and understand where they're coming from. So here you will find some of my daily ramblings, but the highlights come on those wonderful nights that are filled with heart-throbbing, pulsating, jumping-frenzied, psychotic concerts. x] Ohh, and I also love making graphics and designing random-anythings.
