About Me

Just in case there's some soul left on myspace. . .I'll tell ya a couople things: I don't take things too seriously, unless they matter. My sense of humor is very sarcastic. I love NYC and the diversity of my neighborhood. I'm thoughtful and my pet peeve is probably people who are TOO PROUD and/or act like selfish buttholes. I listen. I back up what I say or die tryin. ---I'm a stand-up guy-limit the bs, shy-not shy.Always learning, humble, but confident. Experiences have shaped my character-which is strong, but lighthearted. I can make music on bass, organ, piano, guitar, drums, banjo, mando, and intensely in love with my Fender Rhodes. Hang up your hang ups.I'm a good friend and love passionately. I'm an actor, joker, football lover, weirder, gooder, lover, pick-up hoops player, runner, animal lover, dart thrower, pool sucker, even a golfer and a college sport player-HA!Friends and family are among the finest things in my life. I like those who can admit their mistakes. Don't conform. Do what you want to do and do your best not to force your perspective on everyone else. . .like i seem to be doing in this myspace profile- ha!

My Interests

shit and shit

I'd like to meet:

Someone who can admit their mistakes. Those who not only possess, but perhaps even realize that they possess, a soul and. . .hmm, maybe even a heart

Music:

Some of me= www.myspace.com/tinsaeduWell, I like SO much. I'm hesitant to list a bunch of bands/artists here so someone can be like "OH, I like them 2 !" I'm openminded, as a musician. I think that helps me all-around. There are NO limits to music. No genres ! What the f ? Ok, fine: it probably went something like this: Led Zep was my 1st love- pink floyd, Living Colour, U2, GNR, pearl jam and nirvana, the dead and you know the other band, funk, jazz, electronic, -----Scofield with MMW, MMW, zero 7, Dj shadow, Bill Frisell,beasties- in sound from way out, Herbie Hancock, kudu, Stone Temple Pilots, Neil Young, Sun Kill Moon, The Cure, LOVE Electronica, fela kuti and tony allen, The Slip, Wilco, all that new indie stuff like the Postal Service, Miles and you know the other guy, ART BLAKEY, GRANT GREEN- huge influence. . .geez, there's so many more. . .top 10 influences would go something like this: 1) John Bonham 2)Herbie Hancock 3) Grant Green 4) John Medeski 5) John Scofield 6)Bill Frisell 7)James Brown 8)Bernard Purdie 9) Jerry Garcia and 10)Oteil Burbridge

Movies:

Ones that I learn something from. . .or at least, laugh at. There are so many and I like a lot of mainstream films. But, I appreciate and love a lot of those secret ones that swim under the radar. . .just like good people. hehe Dark Side of the Moon really does go along with Wizard of Oz, btw

Television:

too much

Books:

i don't read good(zoolander)but, I just read "The Unbearable Lightness of Being". I've been known to enjoy Nick Hornby, Dan Brown, Karl Sagen, James Joyce and many more. . .I just borrowed the Bob Dylan Chronicles Vol 1. This might cost me my manhood card but I really liked "The Awakening".

Heroes:

Original people. . . anyone who fights for a good cause and doesn't do what everybody does. . .anyone who can show that they care.

I have this annoying friend who hassles me all the time to do things despite how I'm feeling at the moment. Sometimes it's so rude because he lacks the knack for tact a little. . .Today's hassle was w...
