Silence rolled over the crowd...and killed three people.

About Me

My name is Seamus...bonus points if you can pronounce it. If not, the English equivalent is James, and if you can't pronounce that...you're mental. I have a sarcastic streak, and I do not streak anywhere while being sarcastic. Singing and playing guitar at wineries or anywhere outdoor is a favorite way for me to waste quality time. I play all kinds of material, mostly comedy songs, some of it's my own material, blues, classic and new rock, a few country songs, and anything from U2 to CCR, 3 Doors Down, Jane's Addiction, Eagles, etc. More stuff that I enjoy: Cycling and playing frisbee in Forest Park, soccer, smoking crack in alleys, spending time outdoors doing damn near anything, robbing banks, enjoying conversations on various topics at a streetside cafe, and cooking meth in my backyard. My family owns an alternate fuel, which is something I enjoy helping them with. Most of my family is in Dublin, so I love going back to see the family. Family is very important to me, and I'm blessed to have a great one. Damn, this profile intro character counting thing says I still have over 100 characters left to write. I'll just skip those words and leave you with some twisted wisdom: "I don't want to follow my dreams anymore...I'll just go out on my own, and hook up with them later." "A severed foot is the ultimate stocking stuffer."

My Interests

I play guitar and sing, and I'm for hire. I play soccer and cycle often, and sometimes you can find me at at a pub, enjoying a Guinness or any American bourbon. Sports teams include The Green Bay Packers, St. Louis Cardinals, Dublin Football teams, Manchester United Football Club, and whoever else is playing in The English Premier League.
