I GOT OCTOPUS COMIN' OUT OF MY EARS!

About Me

At present, I am a radiologic technologist. It's an interesting line of work. Although it's not for everybody. I'd like to think I had a "normal" childhood. I grew up in mid-70's/80's Long Beach, CA. I enjoy a good conversation. I am somewhat shy. My wife, who I love dearly, frequently calls me hard-headed. I got that from genetics. I mess with the poem from time to time and have whipped up a few short stories. Working on my first novel. Talk about a practice in patience! In regards to my religion; let's just say I got an offer I couldn't refuse or deny. If that makes me a leper, so be it.

My Interests

Surfing, Writing, Music, Bicycling, FIREWORKS, Vinatge Guitars/amps, Reading, Mullett Hunting, Working Out, Doing Today's Crossword Puzzle on a daily basis.

Quite happily, I might add. Did I mention I was married? All you other ho's please contract syphilis & DIE!Now for all those bands looking to add me, unless you are a known commodity or have a goodly ammount of prowess (which is determined by me, of course!) do not ask me to be your friend.
