Jumpin Joe (TK-6064)

I've seen through the lies of the jedi.....I do not fear the dark side as you do.....

About Me

I'm just a guy that loves music, especially turning people on to their new favorite bands! I believe I'm a decent guy, who tries to do what's right and be the best friend that I can. I'm not perfect, and I've stumbled, but if we were all without sin there wouldn't be much need for churches, right? I'm a little weird sometimes, but I'm just a T shirt and jeans, meat and potatoes kind of guy who loves great conversations about film, music, literature, sex, and life. I am the most loyal friend, and sometimes miss having someone around to talk to. I'm proud of the many bands I've interviewed, met, and worked for, and I'm equally proud of my artwork, and my kids. My radio posse got me into this myspace mess, but I like the people I've met so far. I think I'll stay awhile....

My Interests

My Radio show, THE PIT (www.wybf.com), Interviewing bands, trooping in my stormtrooper armor, cooking, reading, intelligent conversation, fine cigars, fine wine (usually reds 'cause I use them to cook as well), drawing, used to collect comics but now only buy what I want to read, collecting music, taking pictures & making movies, collecting movies on DVD such as Music and Foreign films, long walks with my iPod on, chasing my kids around the yard with lightsabres, getting my ass kicked by my kids with lightsabres, doing T shirts for Rock Tours (ask me who I used to work for, I dare ya!), illustrating (I still have an unpublished comic collecting dust), talking to friends (all my friends are sooo far away), visiting Cazenovia, N.Y. (Paradise found!), droning on endlessly about my crazy rock 'n' Roll stories, going to the movies, trying to build my Design and Media business, computer stuff, giving good advice (I do, it's true!) and just trying to live my life as best I can before I turn in my running pants and leave the Human Race!.......................................I am a proud member of the 501st Legion, Carida Garrison!!!!!!!! Just joined the Legion in June, looking forward to meeting my fellow garrison members and making lifelong friends!..................................................

a fountain of backgammon trivia and an expert
with knives. You might like pina coladas and
definitely like getting caught in the rain.
You prefer keeping to yourself mostly, but
you'll tell your secrets to the right person.
Are you evil? Your accompanying soundtrack
sure is sinister.
