About Me



My name is Justin, 22 years old from the great Kingsport, TN. I'm a senior at ETSU, Digital Media major with a concentration in Interaction. I have 2 semesters left in this degree, then I plan on attempting a degree in Journalism. I'm very open minded, believe in ghosts, world peace, and that anything and everything is possible. I also believe that music is a universal language and should be used as an excuse for everyone to communicate!

My Interests

I love anything and everything related to music. I love to write it, play it, listen to it and talk about it. I own an Ibanez PF series acoustic guitar, a Peavy Raptor (Strat replica) that is broken into pieces right now, a Gretsch guitar from back in the day that I plan on fixing up one day, a Johnson acoustic/electric, Epiphone Les Paul and Ibanez GIO. I hope to one day learn piano and drums as well as any other instrument that I may be interested in.
Music is a very imnportant aspect of my life and I intend to keep it that way. I'm also into horror/comedy flicks, [Adult Swim], shopping, changing clothes, a few video games and most recently wooden masks. I'm intrigued by faces, human or not. I think a face call tell you everything and more about a person. I have a positive outlook on life and am very pacifist and open minded. I try to accpet anyone and everyone, even when they've given me a reason to not. I do, however, enjoy bashing conservatives, homophobes, emo kids, racists and sexists.

I'd like to meet:


Ghandi, Jack White, Aaron Barret, Gwen Stefani, Sherri Moon Zombie, Jello Biafra, Jim Morrison, Joey Ramone and anyone who has the same outlook on life as I do, or anyone needing help along that path.

Music:


(In no particular order) Reel Big Fish, Blink 182, the Ramones, the Misfits, The Used, AC/DC, Aerosmith, the Doors, Leadbelly, Green Day, Rancid, Flogging Molly, Led Zeppelin, Dropkick Murphys, the P.I.T.S., Guns'n'Roses, Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, Manson, Zombie, Something Corporate, Panic! at the Disco, My Chemical Romance, Loretta Lynn, The White Stripes, The Raconteurs, Less Than Jake, the Cranberries, Johnny Cash, KISS, Kanye West, 2Pac, NWA, Justin Timberlake, Madonna, Van Halen, Avenged Sevenfold, System of a Down, Sublime, Soulfly, NOFX, MXPX, Dead Kennedys, Butt Trumpet, the Big Tease, Outkast, Andrew W.K., The Aquabats, Alkaline Trio, No Doubt, U2, The Killers, Pantera, Wyclef Jean/Fugees, Parliament Funkadelic, The Pogues, Huey Lewis and the News...and the list continues...I'm also getting into Rockabilly/Psychobilly so if you know of a good band in those genres, send them my way!

Movies:

House of 1000 Corpses, the Devil's Rejects,
The Wizard of Oz, Saw (1 and 2 only), Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Donnie Darko, National Lampoon's Vacation, Anchorman, School of Rock, This is Spinal Tap, The Pest, Friday, Booty Call, Home Alone, Beavis and Butthead Do America, Clockwork Orange, Shrek, and once again, the list continues forever.

Television:


Metalocalypse, Aqua Teen Hunger Force, Family Guy, Futurama, 30 Minute Meals, MXC, Hell's Kitchen, Jeopardy!, Family Feud and Taboo...I don't really watch much TV.

Books:

I've started seriously reading only recently. What I have read that I've enjoyed includes "Have a Nice Day" by Mick Foley

"Dude, Where's My Country" by Michael Moore and, of course, anything by the great Jim Whorton. Poe will forever be my favorite writer/poet, I always enjoy his poems and short stories. I also like Emily Dickenson's poetry and a few others that for the time being will remain nameless. If I'm reading a book, it usually has to be a biography on someone.

Heroes:


My mom, Erin, my uncle Dean, Jack White and Ghandi.
