Reaching new lows on a daily basis.

About Me

I USED to play guitar in EversincevE .... But life was really catching up with me, having a kid and paying bills and such. So I had to put that side of me to rest for a while to regain my bearings. So right now I just play at home in my spare room when I have time! But actually, I do a lot of other things, like work on my '70 chevelle, ride my motorcycle (05 Vulcan 800), cruize A1A with the top down on my jeep... besides working 6 days a week. And on top of it, I have a family to hang out with, my beaytiful wife Charley, my 2yo son, and my 2 mutts. Life is busy, but well worth enjoying... I also play golf, I like to challenge myself. Speaking of that, i also began martial arts training, I-shin full contact mixed martial arts. VERY challenging, but I am learning a lot about myself through the pain!!GO VOLS!!!!Layout made by Toxic_Tears

My Interests

My son, my wife, REAL friends and true family, I-shin elite martial arts, riding my motorcycle, golfing, my chevelle, playing my guitar (sometimes), and that's more than I have time for...

I'd like to meet:

Anyone who doesn't whine and cry about how shitty their life is and yet refuse to grow a set and DO something about it. People who don't take bullshit from others and can stand up for themselves. Tony Jaa, Jet Li, Andy Hug(RIP), Will Farrell, Chris Farley(RIP), U.S. soldiers because they fight for a cause, people who motivate others instead of sitting around waiting for motivation, Billy Grahm, Bo Jackson, this could go on and on... hot foreign chicks?... :)

Music:

First of all, if you are a band and you read this... don't try and add me. I hate that, i don't care if you think I'll like your music. If i hear your music and like it, I'll hit YOU up. And if you do it anyway, I'll just delete your request, so don't bother....I listen to all sorts of stuff, but mostly metal. Paradise Lost will forever be my favorite all-time band, no matter how cheesy they get, I love it. The others... Eversinceve, Dragonforce, Behemoth, Opeth, Kataklysm, Children of Bodom, My Dying Bride, In Flames, Killswitch Engaged, Dimmu Borgir, Swallow the Sun, Winds, Nightwish, Leave's Eyes, Atrocity, Hypocrisy, Unearth, Mercury Tide, Within Temptation, Borknagar, Tidfall, Vintersorg, Slechtvalk, Eternal Tears of Sorrow, Kalmah, Extol, The Haunted, The Black Dahlia Murder, Crematory, Arch Enemy, November's Doom, Anathema, Lacuna Coil, Poison Black, Hatebreed, The Duskfall, Into Eternity, Strapping Young Lad, Shadows Fall, Living Sacrifice, Darkane, Battlelore, Wintersun, Into Eternity, Moonsorrow, Finntroll, Therion, Royal Anguish, Nora Jones, BB King, Nat King Cole, Enya, Marie Brennan, Sara Brightman, an assortment of classical. There is a lot more, but this is plenty!!!

Movies:

the Protector, Ong Bak, Fearless, Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon... and the likes thereof. LoTR trilogy, any medieval kind of movie, especially Monty Python. Open Season, Cars... more, but who really cares?

Television:

Discovery channel, The learning channel, all those nerdy, you might learn something shows. Dogg the bounty Hunter!

Books:

READ? I'm supposed to read? and I just learned to type! Books are for nerds who can't cope with reality. Same with video games... hahahaha

Heroes:

My DAD, if I could be half the man he is, I'd be doing great. God bless you, Dad!

The Media...

I have decided that the media is one of the most DIRECT causes of the degradation of our society as of late. I've been watching this whole drama with the Virginia tech "massacre" as they dub it. More ...
