Rebellion without Understanding is exactly what they want of us.

About Me

Everyone I know calls me Bubba. Everyone I don't know calls me Shithead. My birth certificate calls me Michael James. I shred the bass for the DeLaneys and I'm forced to badly sing sometimes as well. I often slay things and pillage, as every good descendent of Indians and Vikings should. I drink too much, I smoke too much, I care too little. I paint buildings for a living sometimes and I think I'm pretty easy to get along with if you don't suck total ass. I fucking hate politics, but they're part of what makes me tick. Music is what I do with my life and almost all of my spare time. I couldn't give less of a shit if you like the sounds I produce or not, they're mostly there to maintain my own mental health. Send me a message. Or don't. I couldn't give two shits, to be honest with you.

My Interests

Music, late night skateboarding, beer, feasting, drawing, creating things, drunken belligerence, Samuel L. Jackson, pillaging, the responsible use of illegal substances, disorder, disarray, live performances and too much whiskey.

I'd like to meet:

Intelligent, open-minded people who think for themselves and judge others on character alone. Musicians and artists. Friends and fans of musicians and artists. Gender, race, religion, nationality, politics, and sexual orientation are not issues.

Music:

I like your basic punk, metal, ska, reggae, jazz, hip hop, alternative, and fuckin' zibrazibra. Anything subterannean. Death metal, experimental, hardcore, anything local. The only thing you will find me in excessive judgment of is music. Not so much what is being played, but the attitudes and motives behind it. This is why Screeching Weasel is a G-spot eargasm and Skid Row won't even cup the balls.

Movies:

Anything socially or politically relevant (Police State, for example), anything with gratuitous displays of violence(Saw, for example), anything in which Tom Cruise dies(Vanilla Sky, for example).

Television:

I try not to watch TV, but I find myself engrossed in Adult Swim, History, National Geographic, Public Access or CNN from time to time. I occasionally watch Fox News for a laugh and disappointed shake of the head, which incidentally, is all I really get from CNN. Or any other mindcontrol frequencies my idiot box happens to pick up for that matter.

Books:

Everything. Anything that provides a new idea. Or reinforces and old one. Or disproves an old one. Or even more preferable... one that shuns ideas altogether?

Heroes:

My heroes are those who have yet to let me down.
