Music, drums, my puppy, movies, comedy, practicing anything that keeps me busy!
I'd like to meet other musicians (especially ones that want to jam on other styles that are NOT death metal, though that doesn't rule out death metal), and people who have anywhere near as much passion for something as I have for the drums. Who I DO NOT want to meet = bands! Do I know the people in your band personally? Did I play shows with your band? If not, your band sucks and you know it! Seriously though, do NOT try to add me........ I know that no band reads this shit before they try to add me, so I would like to mention to them that I hope they fucking die.

GI Joe the movie, the Big Lebowski, Death Metal: A Documentary (haha), Dodgeball, Spongebob the Movie, a shitload of drum videos, and anything funny or entertaining.
I love cartoons like Spongebob, the Fairly Oddparents, Family Guy, Venture Brothers, Full Metal Alchemist (for some reason that I can't understand), Sealab 2021, the Simpsons, things on animal planet, forensic shows, murder, and other stuff.
I read Modern Drummer and DRUM! mostly... Ted Reed's Syncopation (haha). As for books, I loved The Extraordinary and Tragic Life of Jaco Pastorius.
