About Me



I play guitar, I paint, I draw, I write. Plese go to my other "music" page and see me there as well. It is http://www.myspace.com/russellturek. Just copy and paste for now, till I figure out how to add it as a link. Thanks.

My Interests

all kinds of strange and wacky stuff.

I'd like to meet:

music people, unique people, cool people, smart people, and pretty people.

Create your own visitor map!

Music:

Black Label Society, Zakk Wylde, Fleetwood Mac, Queen, Aerosmith, Steve Vai, Motorhead, Bach, Mozart, Villa-Lobos, Marilyn Manson, David Bowie, Ozzy Osbourne, Black Sabbath...

Movies:

I don't watch a lot of movies, but my favorites are Alien (the original one), The Unforgiven.........ok, well any Clint Eastwood movie where he kicks ass, and The Highlander....again the original.....after all, there can be only one!

Television:

Television sucks, unless you got cable, then it sucks becase you have nine hundred channels of junk instead of just 10.

Books:

Clive Barker, Stephen King, art books, and music history. Also some hardcore philosophy stuff.

Heroes:

Anyone who dedicates their life to their beliefs.

more thoughts...

  Last night was the big faculty recital at my school.  I was terribly nervous and not very focused during my performance.  I had rehearsed so hard, and yet still felt like I barely kne...

nerves and music

Yet again....

Rehab...for my hands

Today was the first day in about a week that I've been able to sit down and play the guitar.  I've been sick with God only knows what, and it's made me miserable.  Glad to be over that.........
