As a musician I believe that if you write purely..that is for the love of making music(nothing fake like filling contracts, or impressing people) , then what is written is an extention of yourself, that is- your spirit captured in music.

That being said, I noticed that all your best songs (thunder march, Cheer Girl Rampage , Ripped...) are very very upbeat and happy.

So are you a really happy guy in real life?

This question is so stupid, but I wanted to share this with you.

That's not a stupid question at all, John. You can tell quite a bit about someone by the mood of his or her music. I'm basically an optomistic type of guy with little to complain about. You guessed it!
