I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

I am a purveyor of quality rock 'n roll music. I play in two local bands, the San Haven Chuckle and Meddle . I sling the axe for both groups, with varying degrees of prowess. First and foremost, I would consider myself a songwriter. Then, a guitarist. Then, a singer (for lack of a better term). Music is the lifeblood with which my body turns animate. It serves as important a function as any organ or muscle does. I would like to believe it is not the sum total of my creative capability, however. I like to write, as well. I would also like to be involved in film one day, for as I have said countless times before, I was born to make films. Also, you should know that my statement has absolutely no bias whatsoever. I would not consider my works acts of greatness, but if they represent any qualities, I'd like them to represent heart, wit and whimsy. Beyond my creative endeavors, I like to read about a lot of different subjects. I have a hard time staying focused on one subject for long, but I often will go back to previously studied subjects. I have become convinced that if I only keep searching, I'll find the meaning to all of this. I promise you I will.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Do they have to be alive? Also, under what tenses would these meetings transpire? For you see, the mind of a celebrity is often a tangled web of paranoia and deceit. They're difficult people to relate to, and thusly, with. However, if under the most utopian of presentations, I'd have to say Billy Corgan would peak highly on the list. I've long enjoyed the man's work, musically and beyond. Stephen King seems like a benevolent fellow, and I strangely feel kinship to his gentle madness. If death were excused, I'd absolutely love to meet Ludwig van Beethoven. Not only is he clearly the greatest composer of this or any time, but despite being abrasive and prone to depression, held a large group of friends throughout his life. I think there were over 20,000 Viennese citizens that attended his funeral. Something akin to another perished musical adept whom I'd love to make acquaintance - John Lennon. It's so cliched, but true, the man's music inspires me. He wasn't 100%, but most of his work is incredible and evocative. I dare you to listen to "Love" and not feel moved. In fact, I double dare you. Beyond musical-types, I'd love to meet Franklin Delano Roosevelt. If, for nothing else, to hear the man's firsthand account of what truly mobilized the forces of World War II. I've done some research, as have others, and there were some awfully nefarious activities surrounding that war. Japanese internment camps on American soil for one. Oh, it's true. I'll refrain from disserting on that subject for too long. I'd just like to hear what he has to say. I'd relish an opportunity to speak with Socrates, now that I think of it. I don't fully agree, but some regard him as a forefather of existentialism, and I've gained more insight into the philosophy as of late. Really, to sum it up, I'd like to meet any historical figure with the capacity to illuminate finer points of either the past or good advice on living.
