I'm from Youngstown, Ohio, but I live in Pittsburgh now (Carrick). I'm interested in philosophy, nature and music. I like going to music festivals (especially ones where you camp there). I go to the Pittsburgh Blues Festival every year too. I like going out on Pittsburgh's Southside (East Carson Street). If I know where a Rockabilly band is going to be playing - I'm there. I like all kinds of beer - from cheap stuff to imports & micro brews. I love football. My teams are Ohio State and the Cleveland Browns. I'm online a lot, and I listen to music all throughout the day, everyday. I spend a lot of time with my girlfriend, Aimee, and I like to party with my friends (every chance I get).
I'd like to meet:
Friends who are interested in music. I wanna use MySpace to discover new bands, keep up with my favorite bands, and to communicate with other music heads about upcoming shows, festivals and parties, new CD releases, or talk some music trivia.from The Bride of Frankenstein (1935)the transformation scene from An American Werewolf In Londonfrom Bela Lugosi's "Dracula" (1931), when Renfield, played by Dwight Frye, meets the Count

How Rockabilly are You?
Music:
Rockabilly, Rock-n-Roll, The Blues, Surf Guitar, American roots musics, lots of hippie stuff, old Punk too, and some Ska & Raggae Dub. I really dig The Clash a lot; I always have. The "London Calling" album was a masterpiece. And then later on, the solo stuff from Joe Strummer and The Mescaleros was great! I love everything that the Reverend Horton Heat does. I also listen to a lot of Brian Setzer, Dick Dale, Morphine, Sublime, The North Mississippi All-Stars, Bauhaus, The Violent Fems, Los Straitjackets, Primus, Keller Williams, Link Wray, Jerry Lee Lewis, John Lee Hooker, The Cramps, Stevie Ray Vaughan, The Cherry Poppin' Daddies, The Pogues, ekoostik hookah, Commander Cody, Lucinda Williams, Tom Waits, Roomful of Blues, Yonder Mountain String Band (I could go on, and on, and on ...). Locally, Highway 13, Haywire Deluxe & any other Rockabilly band I see in a bar. And oh man, Pittsburgh's own young Guitar Zack (Wiesinger) is an up n comin’ phenomena!
Movies:
Well, I like the whole gangster genre a lot (i.e., Goodfellas, The Godfather, Casino). I love all of the Cohen Bros. films. And I also really like all Quentin Tarantino and Guy Ritchie flics. A few of my random favorites are: An American Werewolf in London, Napoleon Dynamite, American Beauty, Shaun of the Dead, Lulu on the Bridge, This Is Spinal Tap, The Exorcist, Ed Wood, Cool Hand Luke, Office Space, Bram Stoker's Dracula. I grew up on old black and white Universal horror films (Bela Lugosi and Boris Karloff), and the English Hammer horror movies (Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing).
Television:
I gotta watch the news every morning with coffee, or I feel like I'm out of it. Other than that though, I only make a point to try and watch The Office. Seinfeld is my all time favorite show; I think I've memorized the entire dialogue by now, cause of watchin all the reruns. Other than that, I just like various cartoons.
Books:
"Zen and The Art of Motorcycle Maintenance" by Robert Pirsig, "The Way of the Peaceful Warrior" by Dan Millman, "Ishmael" by Daniel Quinn, "On The Road" by Jack Kerouac
Heroes:
Who else? - Joe Strummer! Oh, ... apart from music? - well, Plato, Galileo, Francis of Assisi, Thoreau, William James, Merleau-Ponty, Noam Chomski (to name a few)
