About Me
I'm extremely curious, adventurous and both easily excited and easily bored. I like facilitating a little extra randomness in my life.

A note about the scream
I am partial to a good old fashioned scream/yell in my music. Such as: in "Heart Attack American" by The Bronx, "Main in the Box" by Alice in Chains, "Wish" by NIN, "Once", by Pearl Jam, "Welcome to the Jungle" by Guns n Roses, "Ball Tongue" by Korn, "Dirty" by KMFDM, Karin O's screams. You get the idea.
