Rock 'n' Roll!
and
creative endeavors!
I enjoy (and in some cases make) art, music, movies, photography, reading, writing, comics, cuisine (food and drink- I like to cook), good times & easy livin', girls & women (especially those that wear skirts, stockings, & heels; SEXY!), Fisho my betta (that's a Japanese fighting fish, fucko! He'll fucks you ups!), fun times, problem solving, being busy, silliness, absurdity, nonsense, and of course back-breaking labor. (That last one was a joke.)
There's a lot more, I'm interested in alot of shit, but those're the basics.
Oh, by the way...
I'M A FREELANCE ILLUSTRATOR/ARTIST!
So if you know anybody that needs an artist/illustrator for anything, send 'em my way!
I could use the scratch.
MY WEBSITE/PORTFOLIO:
T.P. LOMBARDOZZI'S ART!
Lemme know what ya think.
I'd love to hear some feedback on my stuff. ENJOY!
I'm not looking for anyone. But, I try and surround myself with good people... though mostly, I spend my time alone.
I'd like to get some people interested in my music & art, that'd be cool. The more of you involved and interested, the better! It's meant to be shared, so, check out my "official art & music page" for fun stuff:
TOMMY LOMBARDOZZI'S MUSIC & ART PAGE!
Here's what I've most recently got planned on the live musical front: Check it out, bitches! ...

***NOTE TO BANDS: Don't friend request me without sending me a message or something first. I'm not here to be a number on your page! MESSAGE ME FIRST! Give me a reason why I may like you! ENTICE ME, MOTHERFUCKERS!!!
'Cause chances are, I won't listen to you via some random mass-requesting effort.
Anyway...
I love music, really. Listening, writing, recording, etc etc. Music is my one true love. It is the one constant in my life. Sometimes, it's really all I've got and other times it really kills me. To quote Mr. Ed Norton;
"Why, O why was I blessed with this musical talent?!"
I'm a big fan of The Beatles
...best band ever...
(especially George)... plus...
Faces,
Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers,
The Police,
Queen,
Johnny Cash,
Radiohead,
Wilco...
... there's just too much to list.
Everything is rock'n'roll to me.
Classic soul & R'n'B is my favorite type of music ... Stax, Motown... great shit.
I listen to so much stuff! I used to have a lot of it listed here, but really, who cares?
GHOSTBUSTERS is my favorite movie!

I also like... Coen Bros.' films.

Also, I like watching crime shows like Cold Case Files, City Confidential, Notorious, etc. Fun stuff... and creepy, too!
I also watch the Office, 30Rock, & My Name Is Earl. I TiVO that shit! Because I can't be tied to a TV schedule. I don't really care that much. It's just a way to kill downtime between adventures! WOOOHA!
