thanks to everyone who downloads anything. its great, and i feel honoured to live in the age where we can convey our expressions to people a thousand miles away with the flick of a few buttons and about a minute with a good connection.
Music is my passion, my hobby, my spare time, my smoker buddy, my expressions,my aspirations, my dreams, what im gonna hopefully not regret giving up when im 60.
all i wish to achieve in my life is hopefully pass on the inspiration i recieve, to others. if i am fortunate enough to be able to hang up my boots and consider myself 'done' with writing music, hopefully im at least 65, then i will consider my time on this planet to be well spent.
Here n there in the past. Hopefully more often with New Way Home. opening for killswitch engage was awesome, and we will be opening for meshuggah in october 08!

Musicians inspire me, seeing people truly convey their music as part of themselves. Seeing good live bands, and seeing some of my favourite bands live is a big inspiration and an influence as well.
