I Find Your Lack Of Faith Disturbing

About Me

I am Tom Vader and Midwest Metal is my hobby, my passion, my addiction and my contribution to the world of MUSIC. Midwest Metal is a fan magazine started in 1992 and in 2006 released it's 28th issue. In 2001 the magazines website was launched @ www.midwestmetalmagazine.com It's purpose was to keep things moving between print issues but it's become it's own entity. In fact, people bust balls about how "trendy" or whatever MySpace is, I would've probably quit this shit without MySpace. It gave me a forum to display some sort of progress during rough times, use it for what it's worth. So that's it we have Issue No.28 available now [02/2006], get in touch.I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4

My Interests

Television:

No time, but will stop whatever I'm doing for: Simpsons, Seinfeld, Family Guy, King of the Hill and a handful of pathetic, yet engrossing reality shows.
