About Me

"You're like a grandpa, always coming and ruining everything!"- told to me by a kid on acid. "You're like the Scrooge of love."- told to me by an insightful ex-Marine, honorably discharged. When I was younger I got into music-themed youth (counter?)culture and many of the things associated with it. For better or worse, it was far more influential than all that Sunday School I had attended prior. I've had three times as many bands as girlfriends, and I don't pour beer out for my dead homies because they already drank plenty while they were still moshin' up the material world. When I die, I'd be honored if my friends just skipped the funeral to sleep in and do nuthin' all day! On a day-to-day basis, I find that avoiding rednecks, cops and animal products suits me just fine. I generally try to avoid folks that find endless complaining, couch-potato-ism and intravenous drug use to suit them just fine. I spend most of my "free" time playing exceptionally loud music for somewhat low volumes of people: Chaz @ the Epicentre

My Interests

Long walks on the beach. Shit like that. There's no evidence to suggest that I get any more lives than this one, so I'm very much interested in making it an explosion of maximum awesome.

I'd like to meet:

Free nanners......and as many SDSU alpha-male types as possible.

Music:

Blast beats, yes. Breakdowns not so much. Ready for some ads? Whatever is being played on Free Radio 96.9fm (www.pirate969.org) on Fridays between 8 and 10 pm. And of course some of the hc/weird stuff from these folks: Music is my girlfriend and we are very close. Listing even half the bands I love or loathe would send me to a carpal-tunnel grave. But I can't resist dropping some of my favorites!: Hickey, the pAper chAse, HHIG, the Beatles, Elliott Smith, JTB/JB, King Diamond, the Smiths, Nirvana, Queen, Nine Inch Nails, Assuck, Smashing Pumpkins, B&S, Flaming Lips, the Locust, Necrophagist, CCR, Rash of Beatings, etc.

Movies:

A long time ago I went to the Overground Film Festival in Tulsa and one of the features shown was a mock commercial for a fictional board game called "Crap In A Condom". The premise of the game involved participants uh, well... I really liked Dumbo and the Last Starfighter when I was a kid. Anne of Green Gables. The Predator. Dead Poets Society. Old Disney movies, and the Little Rascals. It was odd seeing the latter when I was older and realizing how openly racist they were.

Television:

WONDER SHOWZEN dvds.

Books:

Instruction manuals, man. I have no natural intuition when it comes to gadgetry. I can't eat without reading something. I was homeschooled in elementary school and my mom took me to the library every week to return old books and get new ones. I read voraciously then... I dunno what happened to me.

Heroes:

Heroic cops that don't take no lip from no punk kids, duh.

Contact lenses, injuries, rock'n'roll road trips.

I had contacts for a year or so in high school and I was so lazy about taking them out at night that one day I just couldn't wear them anymore. They felt like broken glass. Fast forward ten years or s...

My role in a petty honky sub-culture war.

So I returned to the world of pizza making, breaking a Papa John's induced vow from years ago. But it's cool! I like the job (nice folks, near the house, better money than I made as a carpenter) and I...
