About Me

Me. I'm 27. I work a lot as a sales rep for Diamond Windows out of South Boston. I play the guitar, perhaps too halfheartedly. But I mean well. I build hot rods when I have the time. I have a sick automobile fetish; if it's V-8 powered, rear-wheel driven, and loud, I love it. I prefer Oldsmobiles, but any real American car will do. I enjoy hot rod culture, the drags, hot rod girls, and just plain driving the cars I do have. Speaking of, they are: (because I KNOW you all care.) -1994 Buick Roadmaster Estate Wagon with an LT-1...because there's something magical about the pairing of woodside and Corvette motors. a 1985 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme 2-door that was the first car I ever bought (in 1996), and I've commenced to do all sorts of go-fast neato stuff to it. I also own a 1950 Olds Super 88 that has potential, but I ain't got the time.
I really enjoy fishing and being outdoors whenever I can. My little yellow labrador, Kate, rocks me, but I hate her 'cause she makes it impossible to wear pretty much anything in my predominately-dark-colored wardrobe. I like impulsively buying guitars. I enjoy shooting competitively and recreationally, and teaching people to be responsible with firearms, and teaching them how to shoot. I enjoy driving a long ways away with no actual destination while listening to rock n roll and good country music. I like helping people out, even though they think I'm just trying to gain favors and they think I'm too nice or I want something in return. I never watch TV, but it's entertaining. I used to like sports, but now might catch a Red Sox game on occasion. I hate shopping. Unless it's for beer. Then I love shopping. I like Velveeta Shells n' cheese. I hate snow and I wish it would die. I like new socks and new sneakers. I hate my cellphone bill. I hate sweeping the floor after my shed-o-matic dog and ai REALLY REALLY hate doing dishes. So there.

Fish tanks. Wierd pets. Shitty video games. Road trips. Movies. Sleeping in. Excessive amounts of coffee. PBR. Days off. Geeky sweaters. Giving people wedgies. Crown Royal. Tanqueray and tonics. The woods. Vehicles with woodside. Doing burnouts in vehicles with woodside. Fixing shit. Dissing Korn, Limp Bizkit, and the Grateful Dead...and their fans. Other stuff too. Like this:

I'd like to meet:

Your mother. Elvis, to see if he was actually worth all the hubbub, Billy Gibbons, Willie Nelson, Carroll Shelby, Mike Ness, Angus Young, Ernest Hemingway, Kari Byron from Mythbusters (yeow!) Conan O'Brien, and anyone who loves hot rods and rock 'n' roll as much as I do. But not Honda frat boy shitheads who listen to Korn, Limp Bizkit, Disturbed, and/or pretty much any type of rap. Stop it, you're not cool when you drive by with your windows rattling from so much bass and your engine revving like a sewing machine on steroids. If you're one of those people, please kill yourself in the most expeditious way possible. Take your car with its stupid graphics and stickers, big useless wing, and spinny rims with you. Thank you. Over and out.

It's the future!!!

Hello, 2006; I hate you so far. -I somehow woke up at 8:30am. Therefore, I didn't sleep through my hangover, which is a very sound tactic for not having a hangover. -I am out of coffee. This is a cata...
