Hello. My name is Joe and I smoke weed.

Hey! I'm Joe from Michigan.

I'm a sophmore at Central Michigan University, where I am currently studying to be an English Teacher, with minors in history and Music.

In my free time I do play, write, and record music. I like photography, videogames, writing, Hi-fi, computers and tech, and the outdoors.

Oh, and I like to smoke weed. I stayed off weed all through high school, because of active involvement in sports, but basically as soon as I graduated I've smoked just about every day.

Well... I guess that's me.
Keep keepin it real, kids.

Welcome to the forum Joe :jointsmile:

what music do u play?

i love photography! i just this new camera!

Welcome Joe!!! You started off sounding like a NA/AA meeting. :)

I've been playin music probably since 3rd grade. Started with the stand-up bass, which is still my main instrument today.

I dunno, I guess after playing for song long, I've found appreciation for just about everything. Obviously there are alot of bands that I don't care for, but I always keep my ears open for new stuff.

Right now I've been mixing some electronic stuff on my synth/workstation. It's really ambient, but I always use strong house beats. I play in a progressive rock band, which I played bass, piano/synth, and did some vocals as well. I've also had the pleasure of sharing the stage with Trophy Scars, Horse the Band, Anathallo, Page France, BTBAM, Animosity, and a few others. Obviously we just opened for them, but it's kinda cool never-the-less. I've played in numerous Jazz groups and Symphonic Ensembles as well. I also do an acoustic and piano set, which I perform drunk at parties and/or at cafe's.

My current listening pleasures are:
Sufjan Stevens
The Mars Volta
Army of Pharaohs
Death Cab for Cutie
Modest Mouse
The Flaming Lips
John Coltrane
Anathallo
Boards of Canada
Cursive
Sigur Ros
Tribe Called Quest
Weezer
The Who
and Pink Floyd

Music... It's a great hobby. Oh, and I shoot with a Nikon D40 with its stock lens.
