About Me

I'm a musician. I write music, lyrics and play guitar. I do a piss poor job of singing. Other people have said that I am good (at guitar). I personally will never say that I am. Check out my music page by clicking here .
I don't smoke. It stunts my growth. I use sarcasm, a lot. You can almost never take anything I say seriously. Almost always with a grain of salt, unless I say otherwise. I'm horrible at math. That's one reason I picked up the guitar, to get better at math. I'm not big into religion. I'm more of a spiritual person, I'm a Taoist. Look it up, or search my blogs. I like to contemplate metaphysics. Which leads me to my next point...I talk a lot, too much most times. My right hand is almost always clenched. I'm a hopeless romantic at times, and a cocky son of a bitch at others. I like to think I am a patient man. I am the KING of being in the wrong place at the wrong time, or saying the wrong thing at the wrong time.


I can fall asleep anywhere. Anytime. I'm a grammar and spelling freak. I don't like to misspell anything. EVER. I have a tendency to overemphasize things, and I do it more for clarity on my own part, so that I'm not misunderstood, or so that I understand myself and the situation more clearly, but people tend to think I am talking down to them, so it produces the opposite effect of what I had intended.
I'm a huge UNC fan.
I HATE dook.
I can't live without music. I would rather be limbless, blind, and completely retarded before becoming even remotely deaf.
I NEED music.

I HAVE TO HAVE IT.

It is NOTan option to be without.
It is the blood in my veins, the air in my lungs, the charge in my brains, the feeling in my heart, and the tears of my soul.

My Interests

Music is my biggest interest. Movies come in a close second though. Then books. I play disc golf when I get the chance. I like birds, especially Crows. I like art. My favorite contemporary artist is my friend, Tymoteusz Dvorak, but I like H.R. Geiger and Alex Grey as well.

I used to drink a lot, but now two beers and I'm good. I absolutely hate fruits and vegetables. They make me sick. I like to freestyle walk, snowboard and rollerblade.

I'd like to meet:

Chris Carraba, Ben Burnley (Again), Henry Rollins, George Carlin, Lewis Black, Jim Carrey, Maynard James Keenan. Songwriters, musicians, lyricists, singers or just creative minded people who can survive with ideas.

To meet ME: AIM = ScareCrowO


Music:

Any and all. Anything. Everything. Yup, even country, but not all of it. I like way too many bands to actually go ahead and list them all here. I'm not too big on the dark heavy bloody screeching copper screamo goth death metallic feng shui metal bands from Europe. Or stupid gangsta rap where all the rapper does is talk about themselves or their crew/cars/rides/bitches/ho's/money/gold/platinum/iced teeth/grills/rims/shoes or how much weed they got/had/need/wan..ught/sold/smuggled or smoked.

Movies:

"THE CROW"
Batman Begins. Ace Ventura. 1 & 2.

Television:

For some reason, I've been watching the Dog Whisperer a lot lately. But I don't really have cable anymore, so I don't really watch TV.

Books:

Books are for smart people. And by smart, I mean arrogant. And by arrogant, I mean egotistic. And by egotistic, I mean pretentious. And by pretentious, I mean assholes. So, by default, books are for assholes. Z

Heroes:

Firefighters, Frank Maxwell

I've been Thinking

It's been a tough struggle. It started out innocently enough. I began to think at parties now and then -- just to loosen up. Inevitably, though, one thought led to another, and soon I was more th...

At first, I thought this song was pretty cool. But then I went and Googled the lyrics, and I'm stupified. I really think these are some of the best lyrics Maynard's come up with. So I felt obligated t...
