I know I said I'd never fill this thing out!

About Me

I play bass here in Calgary. I'm always looking to make some noise with anyone who plays guitar or drums.

Wagbeard - Too Easy

My Interests

I like music and playing music. I'm sure there are other things I like to do but I don't have the time. I'm always looking for new people to jam with so drop me an email if you want to make some noise.

I'd like to meet:

Anybody who wants to say hi.

Music:

Man, I listen to a lot of music. How can you really narrow it down. Lets start with a shameless plug: The Neckers , Wagbeard, Fire Engine Red, Earthquake Pills, Thousandsticks, The Daggers, Falconhawk, Field DayAnd in no particular order: New Model Army, Social Distortion, The Ramones, Rocket From the Crypt, Blue Rodeo, Alkaline Trio, Samiam, The Jealous Sound, The Get Up Kids, Eels, Radiohead, The Meices, All, The Decendents, Bad Religion, Bad Brains, Built To Spill, Green Day, Steve Earle, Supersuckers, Foo Fighters, The Levellers, Millencollin, Mudhoney, The Pogues, Urge Overkill, Weezer, Tom Waits, Queens of the Stone Age, The Police, The Stranglers, The Ventures, The Pixies, Faith No More, Big Drill Car, Goldfinger, The Doughboys, SNFU, The HorrorPops, Crooked Fingers, Archers of Loaf, Nick Cave, Jawbreaker, The Replacements, Rancid, The Killers, TSOL, and about 500 more I can't think of right now...

Movies:

I worked in a movie theatre when I was in high school and into university. I have trouble sitting through movies now. I love 'em but my attention span is ruined. I do love horror movies though, even the shitty ones.

Television:

I pretty much only watch the animated shows and The Daily Show

Books:

I like to read non-fiction political or social commentary type stuff. Anything that points out the flaws in the system.

Heroes:

Anyone who's willing to see something through even though they might know its gonna be an absolute failure.

Yeah, I'm a Master Gardener Beeyatches!

Well, I did it. I'm a "Master Gardener" Does that sound as painfully uncool as I think it does? Anyway, with almost no effort at all, I finished with 82%. If only I had studied even once I'll bet I wo...
