About Me

This video has given my life new meaning.
Kettle Cadaver - "The Crack of Dawn"

I'm Johnny. I'm in a band called The Men Who Control the Weather . I go to school. I work out. I get some reading done. I write short stories. I work.
I have a crass approach to social situations which belies my good nature and intelligence, and I don't think there is anything wrong with that.
I like Kurt Vonnegut, the Cohen Brothers and Law & Order.
I like staying out late, I like conversations, I hate going to bed.
Oh, I also like to party, and there aren't enough of them these days.

My Interests

Reading, Judo, music, my band, partying hard, rocking hard, watching: Baseball, Football, Hockey.

I'd like to meet:

Anyone. I can talk for miles.
My AIM SN is Lupgarou57, message me any time.

Music:

Lately:
Ouija Radio - "Oh No. Yes yes."
Young Jeezy - "The Inspiration"
Dropping Daylight - "Brace Yourself"
Bad Religion - "No Substance"
Downtown Brown - "I HEART Burgers"
In General, I really like Tub Ring, SMB, The Moment, Downtown Brown, Mathemeticians and Fort Wilson Riot. And many other bands producing unorthodox underground screwball rock.
I am also of course, a patron of the classics. Some of my all time favorites are the various works of Ronnie James Dio (Elf, Rainbow, Black Sabbath, Dio), Blind Guardian, Noreaga, Bob Dylan, Clipse, Manowar, Tom Waits, Warren Zevon, The Bad Plus. I could put here a huge list of bands I like a lot, but that would be dumb. So we'll just stick with these core favorites.

Movies:

Barton Fink, The Big Lebowski, A Bridge Too Far, Apocalypse Now, 2001, Doctor Strangelove or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb, American Movie, Clifford, King Ralph, First Blood, First Blood II (but not First Blood III, which I only own for a sense of completeness and one great line).

Television:

Baseball, football, hockey, darts Jericho and Law & Order: Special Victims Unit. Occasionally Jack Van Impe and Sci-Fi Channel original movies.

Books:

Player Piano, Master and Commander, Dead Eye Dick, Cats Cradle, The Longest Day, A Bridge Too Far, The Rwandan Crisis: History of a Genocide. The Last Battle. 2001: A Space Odyssey
Currently Reading: Suburban Nation: The Rise of Sprawl and the Decline of the American Dream
