About Me

I believe that music is everything. I grew up in the industry and my childhood was a cross between Almost Famous and Laurel Canyon. The experience definitely gave me a unique perspective on things. But that's another story for another time. I think you can learn pretty much everything you need to know about a person by scrolling through their iPod. If you scrolled through mine, for instance, you'd find Zeppelin, Miles Davis, The Clash, Biggie, The Dirtbombs, Sinatra, J5, The Stones, Color Me Badd, Wu Tang, Iggy, and Whitesnake all living together peacefully. If you're not feelin' that, up yours. ANYHOW...I'm a huge fan of unintentional comedy, such as the awkward beach hug between Rocky and Apollo in Rocky III, Baywatch clips of Hasselhoff running in slow motion, or that episode of Saved By The Bell where Jesse took too many caffeine pills. I firmly believe the "running man" is the single greatest dance move ever choreographed, and I pretty much perfected it during my younger days on the bar mitzvah circuit-i'll prove it to you if I have to. I tend to think less of men who can't throw a baseball well, or have an affinity for cats. I dj in my spare time and I am getting pretty damn good at it if I don't say so my damn self. ANYHOW, some things that annoy me are: people that clap when planes land, aggressively popped collars paired with aviator sunglasses, mock turtlenecks, the fact that Daniel Laruso thought he could get away with using "The Crane" again in Karate Kid II, and little girls who continue to yap on their pink bedazzled cell phones after getting into a crowded elevator despite the fact that everyone in said elevator would rather die than hear how much they paid for their new jimmy choo's or whether they're "totally craving some tasti-d." Seriously, get a fucking clue. alright, well i think that's about it for now...
