In this crazy world, Rock and Roll keeps me sane.

About Me

Laid back. I keep a low profile, work a lot. I like to get out and rock roll to get rid of all the b/s that everyday life throws at me. Have met a lot of cool music people and would like to meet more like minded people to talk music, check out shows, compare notes, etc... I like what I call Real Rock & Roll and support those bands 110%....................... I am a Cancer survivor. This past July marked 19 years post chemotherapy. Life is good & well worth the fight. The Cancer chapter of my life was one of the best things to happen to me. The fight, the struggle, the ordeal was an eye-opening & life changing experience. Everyday is a great day and family, friends, live music, Rock & Roll, rock & rollers, etc... are all part of the picture that makes life so damn awesome. Now get out there & ROCK ON! + I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4

My Interests

ROCK & ROLL. Going out and seeing bands. Supporting my favorite bands & helping them any way I can. I enjoy taking photos of live shows passing them along to the artists. I dig women who rock & women who roll. Roller Derby is a blast & the gal's are HOT!!! HTH Lone Star Bettys - These women ROCK!!!! Garage sales, estate sales, thrift shops & flea markets are cool. One man's junk might be my treasure. Food favorites - big burgers, mexican food, a great chicken fried steak, & oriental food.

I'd like to meet:

Lost souls of Rock & Roll..... Friends !! Locals who like live music & gettin' out. Hard Rock/Glam/Sleaze/Metal fans who love Real Rock & Roll. Rockers from around the world who can direct me to new bands that ROCK! It's all about the Rock, people. Women friends are the coolest,coz they are just plain fun to hang out with. (a different kind of crazy than the guys).
