About
Being as thick as two short planks mostly "so this is where my profile should go!" Which doesn't bode well for my exams coming up...
Finishing off college in the evenings, hoping to go to uni (international relations etc), and while I'm there produce, mix music for fun, hear where it takes me and some journalism antics, hope I can do a little freelance. Guess I'm a free spirited kind of person, the steady job isn't for me in the long run I feel, gotta persist of course till I put things together the way I want em.
Basically my outlook is as follows, if you enjoy doing/learning about something why would you want to do it for a living, when it is living;
"...everybody said 'You're a cool guy but a weird dude.' People say I'm really out there. I think sometimes you really need to be out there because 'out there' is where they are coming to."

Hehe! Yessai! Good to hook up here. Thanks for the support - you know the album will be out mega-soon: The great thing about putting it out yourself is that you don't have to wait for any slow label/distributor bizness. Straight to the people!!
Respect bro.
