About Me

.....Hmmmm what to say -- Stacey and I are engaged! The wedding is set for September 21st 2008. Moving real soon, and we have been busy moving things and doing all of the wedding planning, what a year it's been!
For the work -- I get to spend my days at Sony Records, further fanning my musical habits -- For the Fun: Collector of guitars, effects pedals, amps and other assorted noise makers. -- Just another electric freak in search of the heart of the American dream. April's Crash Mansion show was my last gig with Mesmer.... It's been emotional....
This sudden wave of uber PC censorship really sickens me. Just when you thought the PMRC was the height of this kind stupidity... Lets stand up for our Freedom of speech before its too late!
