About Me


Music is and will always be the main passion in my life(Playing,Listening,Observing,Producing,Recording,Writing ,Mixing)...I can find something about most music that I enjoy~sometimes I dont...Not much on sports, I was a sports nut when I was a kid...I will go to the occasional hockey or baseball game...Love the art of pro wrestling...Been watching since I was a kid, still watch and attend shows...Can't stand going to the beach, however i do enjoy observing...Like to cook a bit....Love to go out to eat at GOOD restaurants...Beer...love going to see live music...love the city (not really much on NYC~always seems dark to me) Prefer LA,Austin,Nashville and Philly...Never ask me to go camping~that's just nasty...Like watching movies...Love Independent movies and documentaries...Not into video games...Like meeting new people...Enjoy photographs and the great photographers of the world(check out my friends profiles Lisa Schaffer,Michele Ozz,Matt Kennard,Jackie Roman,Chuckles Borremeo~they good!)...Not much on tv, keep it on in the background...I will watch the occasional vh1 reality show or documentary~don't watch any series or sitcoms~~Love The Howard Stern Show (Sirius Radio and In Demand Tv) Been listening to Howard since 1987...I have a couple really cool dogs...I save and collect too much shit, trying to rectify that as I am running out of room in my house (just realized I have about 300 various BLACK T-Shirts--Goodwill will get most) I love what I consider "cool" clothes, even though I always end up wearing the same few items out of the hundreds I own....searching for something new all the time...the longer I wear my heart on my sleeve, the shorter my sleeves become...
Big love for the independents as they are truly the ones who made this world what it is...If the indys didnt put it out there for the world to see, we would be choked with mediocre displays of life...unfortunately, many of the indys lost the spirit and soul they blazed through the world with and sold out to corporate america...the spineless jellyfish,fence dancers will always rule the world because they will never know the feeling of loss, because they are too weak minded to stand up for themselves and deal with outcome...when you make a stand, you may end up on the wrong side, however if you believe in what you stand for, you will be able to sleep with yourself at night and feel one less step away from corporate, mind control that has overtook our land...As I look out over the lack of intergrity in the world, the phonies, the ones who will never know "REAL" at any cost, my stomach turns inside and out...Life is short try to enjoy it...Don't be afraid to say what you think or feel..you may never get the chance again...
In the words of Hank Williams:
My fishin' pole's broke the creek is full of sand My woman run away with another man No matter how I struggle and strive I'll never get out of this world alive
So, today I read this about my zodiac sign~ The Sagittarius on my myspace friends-- Tarita Virtue's Page....yes, I would say to about 99% of this I agree.don't be afraid, it could be fun.........
** All About SagittariusSagittarians are classically known as the 'favorites of the gods' for good reason: These folks are famous for generosity, humor and optimism, and for the ability to see the best is every situation, no matter how dire the circumstances. A Sagittarius will find a real reason to celebrate each and every day -- due in no small part to Jupiter, the planet most known for benevolence, and the Archer's planetary ruler. Of course, the other side of that coin is excess and extravagance. So in addition to knowing how to laugh -- and how to make others laugh -- Sagittarians are also experts at overdoing everything. At the same time, if a Sag really does have to be restricted to just one of anything, it had better be the biggest or most impressive of its kind -- literally, a one-of-a-kind object.Sagittarians are also famous for their love of travel and philosophy; they crave knowledge, and will spare no effort to satisfy that innate curiosity. Sag's own personal philosophy is that life is really nothing more than a series of extended vacations -- hence the reason so many born under the sign of the archer end up living in a different city, state or even country than where they were born.When it comes to relationships, Sagittarians often find that some of their most successful ones are with four-legged creatures -- their connection to anything with fur, feathers and even leaves is legendary. Romantically speaking, if you're a human, you can only 'have' a Sag of your very own if you're willing to hold on with an open palm. Restrictions will not be tolerated. However, if you let your Sag sweetie know you care, but allow them to live as they see fit, you'll have gained an intelligent, witty and highly impressive partner whose long-term loyalty will astound you. One warning, though: Don't ever ask these folks a question if you don't really want to hear the answer. Sagittarians aren't known for their ability to lie. They'd much rather tell the truth, regardless of the consequences -- because that way, at least they can be sure that you know exactly who they are. So while they can get along with just about anyone, Sagittarians are most drawn to the other fire signs, who also live by the motto 'what you see is truly what you get.' No games.
