About Me

I work in the mental health field, which is ironic. Those who know me best think I would make a fine mental patient. I've been known to throw a leg over a motorcycle or six, and I've been known to drink a beer now and then. I'm spending my unborn child's college money starting a car magazine featuring traditional rods, custom cars, rockabilly music reviews, and other kool stuff. Cmon, check it out... Baby needs a Master's Degree. Or, a MIG welder; I dunno.

My Interests

Decent people, Real hot rods, customs, and traditional scoots (no yuppie-sled, OCC-type crap), good music, traditional tattoos (traditional everything, actually), malted beverages, science fiction, military history, my wife and daughter. I love donuts. Donuts are gooood.

I'd like to meet:

Darth Vader,
Buddy Holly,
John Milner,
June Cleaver,
Brian Setzer,
George Barris,
Betty Rubble.
No, some of them aren't real people... that was not a prerequisite, so F*** OFF!


Music:

Rockabilly, 50's standards, big band. I am also a closet Glam-Rocker, but I do attend counseling and hope to be cured sometime after lunch tomorrow.

Movies:

Rebel Without a Cause, Star Wars Episodes 3 through 6 (1 and 2 suck), Vanishing Point (the original with Barry Newman), American Graffiti, The Lords of Flatbush, Two Lane Blacktop, plus any and all campy 50's hot rod hooligan flicks

Television:

I watch very little. The TV comes on for South Park, Mind of Mencia, and Battlestar Galactica.

Books:

Anything related to WWII history, anything related to classic cars.

Heroes:

My dad
