Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

About Me

"A career? I've thought about this quite a bit sir and I would have to say considering what's waiting out there for me, I don't want to sell anything, buy anything or process anything as a career. I don't want to sell anything bought or processed or buy anything sold or processed or repair anything sold, bought or processed as a career. I don't want to do that. My father's in the army. He wants me to join, but I can't work for that corporation, so what I've been doing lately is kick-boxing, which is a new sport...as far as career longevity, I don't really know. I can't figure it all out tonight, sir, so I'm just gonna hang with your daughter." ---Lloyd Dobbler
I work in the music business.
I think I’m misunderstood and under appreciated, kind of like the comedy of Ted Knight in Caddyshack.
I love to laugh and I don't mind being laughed at. If you can't laugh at yourself who can you laugh at? The only thing better than laughing is making others laugh and that may be where I get the most joy out of life.
My friends and family are very important to me and I am very loyal to those who are loyal in return. It's like the mafia, don't cross me or you'll be sleeping with the fishes.
I'm fun-loving, friendly and entertaining. I'm a hard worker who plays just as hard. I can be very argumentative, I tend to procrastinate, I'm a bit of a germ-a-phobe and I have a quick temper.
So there you have it... the Good, the Bad and the Ugly. What else is there to say other than Rock-n-Roll.

My Interests

Music, Rock 'n' Roll, Movies, Sports (real and fantasy), Boobs, Tattoos, Writing, Cooking, Motorcycles, Afternoon Naps, Cheese, Hiking, Veggie Tacos, Poker, Spades, Sex, My Junk, Knitting and Interior Decorating.

I'd like to meet:

Steven Spielberg and God (if he or she is really out there). I'd also like to travel back in time to when I was younger (maybe high school) and give myself some advice, like duck when the bat gets swung at your head. Lastly I'd like to meet George W. and punch him right in the eye. I figure the guy who's given this whole country a black eye should have one himself.

Music:

The greatest band in the world... CLUTCH. www.pro-rock.com I also really dig AC/DC, Electric Light Orchestra, The Features, Goldfinger, Stereophonics, Tenacious D, Tool, Prince, Unwritten Law, Teenage Fanclub, The Jesus and Mary Chain, Local H, Foo Fighters, Weezer, The Clash, The Black Keys, The Cult, DJ Z-Trip, Ray Lamontagne, Citizen Cope and ABBA just to name a few. Did I mention CLUTCH?

Movies:

Raising Arizona (anything by the Cohen Brothers), Cool Hand Luke, Last of the Mohicans, North By Northwest, Caddyshack, The Shawshank Redemption, Stalag 17, The Great Escape, Any Pink Panther movie with Peter Sellers, Raiders of the Lost Ark, True Romance, Almost Famous, SE7EN, Black Hawk Down, A.I., Boondock Saints, Debbie Does Dallas and The Joy Luck Club.

Television:

ESPN, Comedy Central and Lifetime are cool.

Books:

Anything written by Clive Cussler, On The Road by Jack Kerouac, The Da Vinci Code by Dan Brown (I know it's a trendy pick), A Brief History of Time by Stephen Hawking, The Kama Sutra, Playboy and The Bible.

Heroes:

Neil Fallon, Emmit Smith, Troy Aikman, Stephen Spielberg, Joe Strummer, Smitty, Dawn's Mom, S.W.A.T. Kats and Joan of Arc - Leader of the French Army, 1412-1431.

Technology is a bitch.
