I dig music.

About Me

Alright, alright. I'm not going to avoid this.

A few things about me are that I have a good sense of humor, I hate it when people spell and use grammar incorrectly (they're, their, there), and I think life would be much easier to deal with if I had a high powered tranquilizer dart gun on hand at all times (equipped with silencer). Also, I'm irish-italian... just thought I'd throw that out there.

Please, keep babies out of R-rated movies. Thanks.

I am always told that I have an old soul. Music is a huge part of my life. I also indulge in old movies and cult movie classics. I play the guitar, and the tenor saxaphone. I can fake it on the bass, drums, almost any wind instrument.


Very much an escapist, I love to draw, and music is my passion. I love to make and listen to music, and I really love to drive. If there's a rock show playing and I've heard about it, I'll definitely be there. If I choose to go to college, I'll either major in Japanese Culture, which I am completely facinated with, or English, so that I can eventually teach in Japan.

My Interests

Ah, my interests. To be extremely vauge: movies, driving, acting, listening to/ making music, "partying," reading, old movies, travelling, women, cooking, video games, Lensmoor, cars, anime, baseball, and martial arts.

Not in that order.

Music:

My top five favorite bands of all time are as follows:

  • The Doors
  • Led Zeppelin
  • Queen
  • Tenacious D
  • Mindless Self Indulgence

  • Cake, The Beatles, The Jimi Hendrix Experience, Guns N' Roses, Motley Crue, The Who, Van Halen, Pink Floyd, AC/DC, Aerosmith, Pantera, Iron Maiden and Weezer sneak into the line-up somewhere in a secret order.

    I listen to anything and everything aside from bad country and rap; most notably classic rock. A few of my favorite composers are Danny Elfman, John Williams, Klaus Badelt, Gustav Holst, Alan Silvestri and Hans Zimmer. I enjoy most broadway musicals as well.

    Ultimately, I love music altogether. Especially rock n' roll. If you want to know all of my favorite bands we'd have to have a very long conversation.

    Movies:

    The movies I can quote the best are:

  • Pulp Fiction
  • High Fidelity
  • Every James Bond Film
  • Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back
  • Animal House
  • Batman
  • Donnie Darko
  • The Rocky Horror Picture Show
  • Blazing Saddles, Young Frankenstein, The Producers, Robin Hood: Men in Tights
  • Clerks, Mallrats, Dogma, Chasing Amy, Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back
  • The Princess Bride
  • Anchorman
  • There are probably more, and I'm not sure if that's something I should be showing off...

  • Okay. Since I have a buttload of favorite movies, I'll just list my favorite directors. Mel Brooks, Kevin Smith, Quentin Tarintino, Tim Burton, Rob Reiner, Steven Spielburg and National Lampoon's John Landis.

    If we were to talk about all of my favorite movies, we'd have an equally and/or longer conversation than we would if we discussed music.

    Television:

    I really don't partake in it much anymore.

    If I actually watch television, I'm usually caught watching old SNL re-runs (of when it was good), Conan O'Brien and shows that should have never been cancelled (bastard T.V. big-wigs): The Critic, Family Guy, Futurama, other Adult Swim-esque stuff.

    Books:

    I'm a super big fan of Dean Koontz's work. He never fails to entertain.

    Other good books: The Celestine Prophecy

    Other good authors: Terry Pratchett

    I also read tons of manga.

    Heroes:

    Jim Morrison, Robbie Kreiger, Jimmy Page, Robert Plant, Brian May, Freddie Mercury, Angus Young, Carlos Santana, Jack Black more rock stars, some actors/famous figures and ultimately Nathan (because he's a badass).
