My favorite rock bands fall under the grunge subgenre of alternative rock. Even though this genre of music reminds me of random toilets at various concert venues, I feel it had an impact on keeping my life together during my preteen years. When I was eleven I saw the Smashing Pumpkins perform at the Aragon Ballroom in Chicago. It was my first concert experience and, I almost died. This near-death experience left me with a strong desire to play the guitar and compose music, something I continue to this day.
I'm left-handed, but that doesn't mean too much to me unless of course you are left-handed too. I'm so left-handed, I even play the guitar left-handed and use left-handed paper clips. It's not easy to be a rockstar, but at least I never live a boring lifestyle. We came up with the name for our band after a long day of work at the grocery store. After drinking our third bottle of Chateau Lessegue's Saint-Emilion Grand Cru out of paper cups in our rehearsal studio, we came up with the paper clip theory. What is the paper clip theory? Simple. It's giving any object to a person that sparks an instant connection. It was at this point that I got a sudden urge to use the public washroom located at the bottom level of this maze-like artist loft. While I was sitting on the toilet I realized of this particular toilet's unflushable capabilities. It was too late, the object had passed and the paper clip theory was in effect for the whole world to see.
