I'm 22 and recent happenings in my life have made me realize you can't waste shit and life could end anytime. Take advantage of it and be happy. I'm a graphic designer for a credit union advertising agency but I'd much rather be doing show posters and record sleeves all day.

I've done a few trades and bought a few things on here and everyone I've encountered has been extremely nice and easy to work with. I'm just hoping I can hang with all the men here.

Favorite Bands:

Third Eye Blind, Animal Collective, Slightly Stoopid

Hobbies (outside of record collecting):

Roller Hockey, Record music, I have a particular interest in the recording and mixing process, not necessarily my own music, I've just always had an interest in the recording process. I also play an unhealthy amount of Call of Duty for a 29 year old person. I've been playing for 3 or 4 years and am still the worlds biggest CoD noob. Oh, and I am also a starving artist of sorts and I happen to love marijuana.

Play in a band? Run a record label? Link us!:

I once had aspirations (as I'm sure everyone else on these boards did at one point or another) to make it huge playing music in a band. Lately I have become extremely content with recording music solely for myself and no one else. That's not to say that I don't want others to hear it but I have no shame in admitting that I record music that I think is good and that I like to listen to. If you would like to hear it, great! Here's a link: http://soundcloud.co...ything-is-green

Random things you want us to know about you:

I have a rare lung disease called Cystic Fibrosis that I fight every day of my life. Much of my music and art is born out of these experiences.
