Here's a bit about myself...
I try to laugh at life, and believe a sense of humor is key! I am animated and fun, but can also be very serious and often quite intense. It is important to me to be myself, and I enjoy the company of genuine, sincere people...short of that, I truly dislike most folks.
I am a self-professed news junkie; politics are my reality TV. I dig on European cars and BMW and SCCA club racing (BMWCCA White Mountain Chapter member), Jeep Wranglers and offroading, turntablism and producing hip-hop / electronic / experimental music, 420, photography, good films, video games (Xbox Live gamertag: Mertz MHz), 50’s kitch and the diner scene, low-key gatherings, concerts and clubs, the great outdoors, camping and mountain biking, and all kinds of out-of-the-way places.
I live with the lovely Dr. Girlfriend, who not-so-coincidentally is pictured in my Top Friends (see below), in Pembroke, NH. I act as Treasurer of my Condo Association, and hope to soon hold public office. I have my degree in Graphic Design from the Art Institute of Fort Lauderdale, and am currently enrolled in the Accounting degree program at NHCTC in Manchester. I also own and operate Dying Youth Productions, which is an independent multimedia production studio. I will be venturing into motorsports photography beginning Spring '07 as well. Hence, I am all about Apple and all things Mac; been down since '91...
Here's a bit about my music:
I make music for the love of making music. That's it. I do not dream of performing in front of 15 people, let alone 15,000 screaming Eminem fans. I played in Hardcore bands throughout high school; had my fill. I do not dream of getting rich from making beats, and do not dream of fame or street cred. So unless you wanna get down for a little studio project or something...
