About Me

You Are 72% Brutally Honest
Most of the time, you tell it like it is. Even if it's hard for people to hear.
Sometimes you hold back though, because you never want your honesty to be hurtful. How Brutally Honest Are You?I like to say I'm from Texas, but I'm really from Louisiana. I only lived there for the first 7 years of life, so I guess you could say that I don't feel like I'm really from there. So, I've adopted Texas as home. I've been known to be loud and aggressive, but really I'm a pretty quiet person. I like to read, and I like to write. I love music. Just look at my friends list...you will find more bands in there than anything else. I play guitar, and have played for alot of years. I've been in a few bands, and have made absolutely no money off of it. I'm playing the same beat up guitar that I bought myself in 1983, but I love that thing. I also play a beat up Marshall half stack that needs recovering and probably could use a tune up, but I love it too. It's paid for. I am more than a little decent at playing but I don't foresee my playing taking me to rockstardom. I don't have that kind of patience and I don't like the monkey's in the business. I'd rather sit on the outside of the herd and enjoy the show from a seat that is all my own.

My Interests

I enjoy alot of things. Most of what I enjoy I'd rather keep to myself for fear of incurring the digital wrath of Tom. All I can say is that I love music, books and movies. Everything else is just peppered in there for fluff.

I'd like to meet:

There are a few people I'd like to meet. Some are famous, and some are not. Really though, I could care less whether I ever meet them or not. It's not like my life will become less fulfilling the longer I go without meeting them.

Music:

I had this long list of bands I like, but thats too much like name dropping. I just love music. I prefer music that causes me to make the Pantera face (for those who understand...THREEEEEEE!!!!!!). I am not into a trend. I'm into good music. Look through my friends list and you'll see what I mean.

Movies:

I like good movies. I've recently figured out that I love alot of studio movies, but I also enjoy underground stuff too. I'm into the artform, and the story. Sometimes the movies that come out forego story for art form and vice versa. I'm looking for the perfect mix. I like movies that make me think, and movies that make me laugh. Being scared is good too. A good horror movie really does me in.

Television:

There is not much on TV that is worth a second look. There are a few shows I like, but that could change by the time you read this so I won't list them. Just know that if the show is factual, and not biased like FoxNews, then I like it. But, I have guilty pleasures like Spongebob Squarepants and Scrubs.

Books:

I like books. I like good books. I've dabbled in the classics, but I'm not reading for a literature class. I'm reading for pure enjoyment. I read alot of non-fiction because there is alot I don't know, and I'm tired of the ignorance. Read on.

Heroes:

Heroes for me change day-to-day. It depends on something I read or see in life. Most of the time though I'm blown away by the courage of those that serve others. They don't have to die to be heroes.
