I'm ready to rock out, Baby! Let's go!

About Me



I'm just an everyday kinda guy that lives overseas. I have a good job, loving wife, two wonderful boys, a decent car, good friends and a band. What more could a guy want?Here's a couple of vids of my car...enjoy!See more pics of my Laurel and other cars at boostedmayhemgsx

My Interests

Cars, racing, baseball, beer, my kids, my wife, my friends and extended family, and finally cars.

I'd like to meet:

James Hetfield, Lars Ulrich, Kirk Hammet, Jason Newsted and Rob Tujilo. Cliff Burton would be cool, but I don't think he is planning any comback tours. All the guys from Godsmack, Ozzy, Big Daddy Don Garlits, Cha-Cha Muldowney, Fred Durst, Gene Simmons, Kim Basinger, Michelle Pheifer, Ron White, Bill Engvall, Chuck Berry, Ice-T, Hugh Heffner, Larry Flynt, Cameron Diaz, Kirsten Dunst, Wes Borlan, any of the members of Styx that are still alive, and for my guilty pleasures of 80's hair bands, Dee Schnider, Steven Pearcy, and the singer from Warrant...whatever his name is.

Music:

Metal, 80's music, Blues Rock, Classic Rock, and some Punk...just depends on the mood.By the way...Ozzy is the father of all that is Metal...bottom line, no arguing, I am right, don't try to deny it, just deal with it. Accept it and move on.

Movies:

Action, horror, thrillers and comedys...sometimes a chick flick or two if the wife wants to.

Television:

Uhhh...well, not a whole lot for me to watch here in Japan. Ususally just baseball and movies on the weekends. Kind of funny to watch movies over here...I can watch them in English, or Japanese if I understood it.

Books:

Steven King rules, with a close second being Clive Barker. Dean Koonts is good also.

Heroes:

My father. For what he has taught me over the years without me realizing at that given time...thanks Pops, I Love ya.
