About Me

I'm just a rock&roll musician boy that likes the Black Crowes, Classic Rock & playing live shows. I recently graduated Cal-State Fullerton with a degree in Japanese, although I'm learning Korean now. Well, it'd be cool to meet some nice artist kids for a change.
Let's see, I'm a guitarist... played like 20 years now, and done lotsa live shows. I love rock music! 60's & 70's, blues, just, music PERIOD. I also ..♥.. Scotland cos my family's Scottish. (Don't have the accent but I have this color kilt, and my grandmother makes KILLER Scottish food! So THERE!) I also ..♥.. Japan, & speak Japanese now, cos I went to Waseda University this past year in Tokyo, which was amazing of course...it's my home away from home.
Let's see...I'm a writer...novels, scripts, fiction. I'm a Beatlemaniac (George is my favourite), prefer vinyl, own way too many LP's. My friends say I have too big a heart for Rock&Roll, and I'm too nice, so I get taken advantage of...
I'm your typical pisces... earthy, spiritual, artistic, liberal, musician, long-hair,green, so I dig vintage / used clothes like bellbottoms and clarke's wallabies, try to conserve/volunteer, be calm and nice to people.
I like watching soccer, Manchester Utd, Chelsea, Liverpool, but I know nothing about players, cos they don't have enough games on T.V. and I'm lazy.
I like going on dates to a rock concert with a girl & holding hands, having a Guiness together and getting dizzy, falling in love, playing in my band Layla, and talking to people with good souls..... .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .... .. .. .. .. .. .. ..

I'd like to meet:

A non-flakey, sweet girl that will sleep in with me and spend the day in bed drinking and eating Lipton Apple tea and candy from a Japanese supermarket, spin records...or play 'em song on my les paul plugged into a marshall next to my bed...if this even exists in this godforsaken city...oh yah, and someone who loves classic rock and blues as much as I do

... and ...people who have good souls, are musicians, artists, creative, volunteer, give to charity, fight for a cause, speak other languages, have lived abroad, believe in chivalry & the golden rule, stands up for someone, wishes on 11:11 (always), likes to have a Guiness at the pub and put Jimi Hendrix on the jukebox, suprises you when they show you their art, their giant record collection that's bigger than yours, someone who can talk for hours lying down never getting bored playing records...YES, like that scene in 'Single's =P. Soemone who's, big-hearted, amazing, moving honest, soulful, takes big chances, gets lost in a song, beleives in me n vice versa, digs me for being myself, is a true-believer in love & life, oh, and someone who digs watching reruns of The Wonder Years, cos that show rocked.You.
