About Me:
I'm insane, I'm a Soviet, and I'm a musician. I'll be all three until the day I die. I have severe bipolar disorder with psychotic tendencies. I've been in and out of mental hospitals, on medication and in therapy practically my entire life, and I harbour no delusions that someday I'll recover or that anyone will ever believe I'm normal. That's why I tend to tell people about myself straight off. If they were going to stick around me, they were going to find out about it sooner or later anyways. I was born and raised in Soviet Lithuania, in Vilnius, and even though I live in London now, and I want to move back to Finland once we get a chance, I'll always be a Lithuanian. I can't even call myself a Lithuanian-Brit because I am Lithuanian. It's in my blood. I have a stupid amount of passion for that little shithole of a country (no, you cannot call it that unless you are from there), and I will fight for the rights of those living there as long as I live. It's my home, after all, my parents and older sister still live there, and I want my kids to love it almost as much as I do, eventually. And then there's music. It's kind of just a job, but there's also a damn good reason music, and just the arts in general, is a magnet for the mentally ill. For me, it's therapy, I can get all wrapped up in getting my thoughts and feelings out on paper and into a song and I can spend fucking days on it, and it's not wasting time, because this is paying the bills. Also, it's unstructured. Kind of. I mean, I know some people thrive on structure, but those people are crazier than me because that shit tears me apart. Deal with schedules? Shit no. I tried to plan a wedding once and started having full on delusions. So, yeah, it's a little looser there. Plus, there's all the validation you get when you jump up on stage and scream out the name of your band and hundreds (rounding up -- we did have 151 fans once!) of people are at your feet, screaming and trying to touch you. I'm also a twin; my brother means the world to me, and he's saved my life almost as many times as he's endangered it. We're not very much alike, kind of a yin and yang with no calm side, and we sure as fuck don't look alike, but if my real twin ever shows up, I don't think I'll trade my Midgey in. I'm a father, with three sons, another kid on the way, and I want more. I love children, and I want a big family. Big. Um, what else. I'm a former partier who still makes it out to the occasional party (don't tell my AA sponsor, ha ha), a chainsmoker, I'm bisexual... or pansexual or omnisexual or morethanonesexual or whatever the hell it's called, which I wasn't always open about (not just because I thought I was just gay for years, I mean I just wasn't always open about my sexuality in general), because it's more or less illegal to be gay in Lithuania. But I figure, fuck, if I'm gonna tell people that sometimes I lose my shit and start seeing things, what does it matter that I've fucked guys? I'm not in Lithuania now anyways. Oh, and call me Burton. Almost everyone does.
