I am the one you LOVE to hate...

About Me

Click Here For Myspace Layouts !Tell you about me huh? I really hate these things. They want you to cram your personality and lifestyle into "100 words or less". Here is my half-hearted attempt. Hope you like it. I am sure 90% of you don't even read this stuff. I am divorced. I have a 6 year old son named Ryan. I love him to death. I have a boring, but well paying job downtown. I love Chicago. I would never move anywhere else. I also love punk rock. Pop-punk to be exact. Now I don't mean the stuff they play on the radio right now. I mean SW ,Teenage Bottlerocket, The Errgs, The Queers , JSP , The Unlovables, The Tattle Tales, Nancy,The Lillingtons,and last but not least The Repellents(yeah I listed my own band,so fucking what), and so on. I play in a band with my very close friends called THE REPELLENTS. We just started playing again. We broke up when my son was born because I just didn't have any spare time. I am not trying to be famous or anything,just have fun and put out some songs we/and people into pop-punk will think are rad. I get sooo much enjoyment out of playing with those guys. I actually find it funny that they tolerate my blow ups at practice,my tardiness,and my overall dictatorship of the band. Yeah Ben,you don't have shit on me! I also really like sports. NCAA football and basketball mainly. I am also a die hard CUBS fan. I live on the south side too. Can you imagine that? I hate the White Sox,and ALL their fans. Just because we are friends doesn't make you exempt from my hatred. I enjoy horror films as well. Pretty much anything scary I will probably like. I like going to the movies to see these films. It just makes the whole experience better I think. Little bit of advice for those who go to the movies with me. I have to see the previews or I get really,really upset. I don't watch much TV. The few shows I watch could be considered "gay" or "something I should never admit in public again" by my friends. Oh well,see my favorite TV shows list for clarification. Lastly, I try to spend as much time with my friends and family as I can. Because that is all we have in life,and you should cherish these people every day. They are the most important thing on this planet,and it's a shame most people don't realize that until it's too late. Cheers.

My Interests

Spending time with my son Ryan,,my family,my nephews Liam and Declan,and my friends. Listening to Pop-Punk , going to shows,watching indie films,reading,playing in my band THE REPELLENTS.Complaining at practice. Complaining when we load our equipment. Complaining at our shows. I also like watching my favorite sports teams in action:Chicago Cubs, Stl. Rams, Dallas Mavericks,and the Miami Hurricanes. Lastly I enjoy the occasional drink with friends,co-workers,or family. Who am I kidding? I love to drink!!

I'd like to meet:

I would like to meet people in the punk scene who are NOT jaded and bitter,think they are better or more popular than everyone else, or sit back and complain about they way things are but never help out. I want to meet people who DON'T have hang-ups about race,religion,sexuality,and just want to have a good time,make great music,and have some interesting conversations. I want to meet people who are NOT music snobs. I want to meet people who are NOT fashion whores. Get the picture yet? I knew you would catch on. That's why I want to meet YOU. Good Job!

Books:

Most of the stuff I read is non-fiction. Nothing special to list here. I am sure everyone has their own taste in author's. You don't need me acting like Oprah,and telling you what to read.

Heroes:

My friends and family are the only hero's I need. Why put my faith in a person who could care less about me? I think people don't give enough credit and love back to those who truly care about them. Their friends and family. Don't neglect them,because they won't be around forever. They also know you and your fault's and still love you no matter what. What more could you ask for?? Donald Smith,Sr.:November 20th,1941-March 30th,2006. He was one of my biggest hero's believe it or not. I miss you terribly already. You made me want to be a better person. I love you Pop.
