My name is John West. My arms are made of steel and my legs of titanium. I was born to win, and that

About Me

"So many people live within unhappy circumstances and yet will not take the initiative to change their situation because they are conditioned to a life of security, conformity, and conservatism, all of which may appear to give one peace of mind, but in reality nothing is more damaging to the adventurous sprirt within a person than a secure future." ~ Aron Ralston

My Interests

Ice Hockey, Music, Writing, and other various creative endeavors.

I'd like to meet:

This would end up being a list of musical influences and the one and only Anthony Michael Hall

Music:

I have always said that there is something of value to take from all kinds of music that is done well, but my roots are all things METAL.

Movies:

zombie, slasher, horror, kung fu, basically movies that make me smile.

Television:

Thanks to my band's house getting digital cable, I am all over Entourage, Weeds, and the Autopsy documentaries.

Books:

This summer I re-read that entire collection of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes tales in the order they were originally published, and I am pretty sure they made me more observant. Right now I am reading a book called "Power vs. Force : The Hidden Determinants of Human Behavior"

Heroes:

Anthony Michael Hall, Glenn Danzig, Danny Carey, Richard Christy, etc...
