About Me

What's up? My name is Walter Mrowczynski III. I am the webmaster and owner of www.BlackLabelSociety.net and have been since July 4, 2001. BLS is Zakk Wylde's band (Ozzy Osbourne's guitar player) that he formed in 1998.
All that aside, I am an accomplished guitar player. Music is my passion. I love playing guitar and it seems like there is usually a guitar in my hands at all times. I am currently looking to find musicians for my band/project, Skull Dragon and/or an established band that is in need of a lead guitarist with a ZW kinda sound.
I am also a professional web designer. So hey, If you ever need any webpages done, let me know! I'll charge cheap or we can barter!
Well, what's there to know about me? If you've read this far I've either captured your eye or you must be bored as hell, lol Anywho, I like to party like a rockstar and have a good time. I'd say the pix in my profile back that one up, lol I like to travel to Delaware & Philly a few times a month. What else... I'm passive, laid back, witty, have a good sense of humor, I like to make a lot of jokes and can usually find a bit of humor in even the worst of situations. I'm optimistic. I live day to day enjoying life, I'm easygoing and don't like to argue, but I like a good debate occasionally. I keep things fun and interesting. I'm the kind of person that will leave both toilet seats down so it's still an inconvenience either way. I love hanging out, playing guitar, going to bars, playing bars, meeting new people who aren't overly weird, poking fun at other peoples poor grammar, video games, the outdoors, building webpages, surfing the internet, going to concerts, listening to music, writing new music, etc... You wanna know something? Just ask!!!
Other than that, I'm living back in Jackson after moving away in '98. From '02-'06 I was living in Bear, DE, and the 4 years before that, '98-'02 I was living in Woodbury, NJ. Thanks to myspace I'm able to refind and stay in touch with with a lot of my old friends.

My Interests

I enjoy playing guitar. I own a plethora of music gear. I also enjoy computers, the internet, and building webpages. I am the webmaster of BlackLabelSociety.net,
www.BLSstore.com, and
www.BLSstore.net , Swashbuckle.info as well as many others. So if you need a website, let me know!
My other interests include drinking fine beer, the outdoors, fishing, video games (especially the Final Fantasy series, though I haven't really had the time to invest to play the past few years), XBOX, PS2, I've been playing Age of Empires III a bit lately, music, partying with my friends, drinking, sleeping, bars, shopping, partying with rockstars, and the company of attractive women. I know how to correctly pronounce "nuclear".

I also like to drink out a lot of microbreweries' different brews and seasonal beers.

Some other shit I've done in my life... I attended the Microsoft Windows XP launch in Philly in 2001, attended the Microsoft .net launch also in '01, my High School created a credited elective class just for me so that I can work on the school district websites, I run a website that does on average 200,000 hits a day, I have interviewed Zakk Wylde (vid in my vids section), I've gone skydiving (vid in vids section), I've played out with several bands...

I'd like to meet:

Old friends, new friends, Bar Buddies, family members that I lost touch with and/or never knew I had, people I went to school with, etc...

I've always had this thing for women with glasses and accents too...

If you are some random person that I'll never talk to and try to add me, you will be DENIED especially if you don't message me first. I'm not into that whole 'collecting friends' thing. Please understand that this is my personal MySpace account, this is MYSpace.
I have created other MySpace accounts for BlackLabelSociety.net and my band Skull Dragon at:
myspace.com/BLSnet
myspace.com/SkullDragon69
Basicly, If I know you, you're a band that I like, or you're a local person in my area I'll add/auth you, so please don't take it personally if you don't get added. :)

Some people who I've already met:

Music:

I don't have the time to list ALL of the bands I like or listen to, but I'll add them in as I think of them! I am into just about everything. I enjoy all sorts of music; all forms of metal, rock, southern rock, country, classical, alternative, jazz, blues, etc...
Some of my favs are: Skull Dragon, Thunderbrew, Black Label Society, Pantera, Ozzy, Black Sabbath, old Metallica, Megadeth, Van Halen, Alice in Chains, Shadows Fall, Led Zeppelin, Rebel Meets Rebel, Damageplan, Down, SJR, Halford, Jimi Hendrix, Jethro Tull, Extreme, Kenny Chesney, Toby Keith, Eric Clapton, Slayer, Testament, Garth Brooks, Montgomery Gentry, Skid Row, Bon Jovi, Poison, Evanescence, Mad Season, Jeff Beck, Anthrax, Staind, Pride & Glory, Racer X, Molly Hatchet, AC/DC, White Zombie, Rob Zombie, Elton John, PINK FLOYD, Gretchen Wilson, Gary Allan, Aerosmith, White/Rob Zombie, Guns 'n Roses, Alan Jackson, Disturbed, Killswitch Engage, Nickelback, ABBA, Bob Seger, Jimmy Buffet, Iced Earth, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Neil Young, George Lynch, Steve Vai, Joe Satriani, Yngwie Malmsteen, Michael Angelo Batio, Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, Trivium, Sviraj, Jason Becker, Zakk Wylde, Final Fantasy soundtracks, etc... Just to name a few.

Jim Cara put it best when he said: "Anyone who says they only like a certain type of music, does not get the concept, they are just an idolistic Fan of an artist."

Movies:

Some of my favorites are Office Space, Rock Star, PCU, Airheads, the Star Wars', the Star Treks, Jaws, Billy Madison, Edward Scissorhands, Joe Dirt... I like a lot of different movies but I don't particularly go out of my way to watch them over and over and over again like some people do.

Television:

Futurama, Family Guy, The Simpsons, American Dad, Metalocalypse, Robot Chicken, That 70's Show, That 80's Show, How I Met Your Mother, 'Til Death, The War at Home, How I met Your Mother, Two and a Half Men, Rules of Engagement, The Big Bang Theory, Jeopardy, Scrubs, NFL (Go Eagles!), Mind of Mencia, South Park, Charmed, The Office, The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, The Colbert Report, Headbangers Ball, $40 a Day with Rachel Ray, Married With Children, X-Files, Star Trek TNG/DS9, Seinfeld, Duckman, The History Channel, The Discovery Channel, etc...

Books:

Lost Hunger, Guitar World, Musicians Friend, American Musical Supply, etc... Im not that big of a book reader though I should considering all the $0.25 words I use, ha!

Heroes:

Anybody that's ever fucked up that I'm able to learn from their errors. The way I see it, people are only human and make mistakes too. If you follow in one persons footsteps, who's to say you wont make the same mistakes as that person? Be your own person. Learn from your own as well as other peoples mistakes and ameliorate yourself from it.
