Mickëy Widmër™

Hey there, I'm Mickey. As introductions go, the traditional Christian meaning of my name is "He who is like God", which is not too entirely awful, I suppose -- given the Grand Canyon and worldwide child suffering and all -- however, in traditional Monster, my name means "Maiden-Injuring, Cheerleader-Kidnapping Enigma of Yuckiness" (M.I.C.K.E.Y.), & most times I feel it's the more accurate description of the two. On the other hand, general consensus among those who actually get close enough to know me is that I'm a pretty satisfactory guy; atleast that's what it sounds like they're saying, inbetween moans. You may best know me as a drummer, from my years with INKED IN BLOOD, SHORTHANDED, GOBLINCLEAVER, WORLD OF LIES, and a whole mess of others...there's a list down on the bottom-left of this page that's longer than Jesse James' night shirt. I've been smashin' shit up for nearly 20 years. There's been a lot of hard bumps along this rock 'n' roll road, and at times I think I might be just a little less cut-out than I am sought-after, but that's all fine and well 'cos the wax keeps spinnin' 'round the world, the offers keep onna' comin' 'round the corner, and every time I turn around at the party there's some spotty-faced kid who reminds me of myself, tellin' me how much I've inspired him to attack the dream. It makes me smile and think that it really must be a small world, after all, and chances are good I'll keep beatin' that wood till my livid little heart gives out. There's no pun intended there, though I do love a good bad pun. I grew up a farm boy in the Canadian Rocky Mountains, tendin' rabbits and buildin' snow forts as fast as I could. I've lived in my imaginary worlds as far back as I can remember. I thrive on spontaneous, oddball humor and wild livin', and I always tend to take things a little too far out, like a firework goin' straight up to black. It'll get me one day. My dad named me after a classic actor, Mickey Rooney. You know, that little 90-year old dude from Night at the Museum who wants to kick Ben Stiller's ass? He was the guy who gave Norma Jean the name Marilyn Monroe, actually, and Walt Disney the name Mickey Mouse. My own first and last name are both major beer companies; yet strangely enough, I'm not an alcoholic. I mean, 10 or 12 drinks and I'm under the table. My brother, Matthew John, is himself a talented actor who has appeared in many major movies, and most recently as the long-haired technical assistant in the hit TV show Ugly Betty. I am a daddy of one, the stunning, talented and fun young lady known as Summer Widmer. Some of my other favoritest things are: Darkest Hour (the best band in the world), Gary Oldman (the finest actor in history), classical music, J.R.R. Tolkien collectibles, Asian food (or any meal that includes ridiculous amounts of pineapple), and making sweet hot love in jacuzzis filled with fine wine 'till all the candles get splashed out.
Not that I've ever done that.
