Somewhat of a cynic with a fiery little temper. I'm kind of stuck in Nashville for the time being due to the line of work I'm in (and the fact that I'm only an entry-level peon who has no leveraging power...yet), but in the meantime I'm plotting my escape!!! Those who know me best say I'm a "grass is always greener" person b/c I always want what's better. I've been over country music since the minute I got here and I think heavy efforts should be focused on strengthening Nashville's itty bitty indie rock scene. I drink way too much Diet Coke and will probably die of cancer caused by NutraSweet overload. I frequent coffehouses not for the coffee, but purely for the sake of their free wi-fi Internet connections. Steven Tyler is, in my humble opinion, the coolest human being on the planet, however he's followed very closely by a certain B. Walker. Other than that, please inquire within...

being a smartass, mocking people with no common sense, reading about Pete Doherty's latest dealings with the law, the color blue, fawn pugs, orchids, diet coke, South Florida, cardio exercise, sarcasm and witty banter, creative minds, hatin' on nashville, boys with Boston, Georgia, or English/Irish accents, Mac computers, iPods, flavored water, Adobe PS, vodka gingers, taking crappy lo-res photos at concerts with my phone b/c I'm too cheap to invest in a digital/video camera, Steven Tyler and any other skinny rockstars with little butts so I can sneak up from behind and pinch them...juuuuuuust kidding...well, sorta.
