I don't like overt traditionalism..

I love seeing things that work in the micro and work in the macro..

The worse they are the more they see beauty in each other..

The less seriously you take yourself, the better work you're going to do..

I don't really like ska..

I use my music to tune myself..

The day you stop learning is the day you begin decaying..

For we put the thought of all that we love into all that we make..

The days passed, as they do, and life went on..
