Im constantly being inspired by the old days and taking things from the past and allowing them to lift me up where I am now.
littles performing bits
I like performing live more than anything. I get a little bit afraid in the studio.

I dont marry bandmates just to go marrying bandmates.

I have a lot of different collections of cards at home. It's hard to say my favorite deck, but there is a deck called the medicine cards, and it's Native American animal cards.
prayer talking people
I know a lot of people that don't pray or anything, and that's fine - but I need to. I don't even want to call it prayer, I just want to call it talking to something bigger than me.
