I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

Proud father of a crazy monkey (not like a Spider Monkey, but a little boy who acts like one). Happily married to a loving woman and great mother . Work anywhere from 40-60 hours in a factory and play guitar for Nuke and the Living Dead and bass for Hellbound Train . So yeah, I got my hands full, but I'm usually down for chatting and such when I'm winding down after work.

My Interests

Some people say I have "Split Personalities". On one hand I'm a family guy who loves spening time with my wife, son, mom, siblings, cousins etc. On the other hand I'm a punk rocker who loves plaing music and going to shows and getting drunk and stuff. I love my friends and having a good time.

I'd like to meet:

Cool, laid back people who are interesting and like music (esspecially Nuke and the Living Dead and Hellbound Train).

Music:

I have lots of Doo-Wop, Rancid, Misfits, Stray Cats, Indepedents, Buddy Holly, Elvis, Ritchie Valens, Mighty Mighty Bosstones, Alice Cooper, Cryptkeeper 5, Mister Monster, The Damned, Dropkick Murphys, Eddie and the Cruisers, MC5, Op Ivy, Our Lady Peace, Ricky Nelson, Rolling Stones, Unknown Hinson, The Ventures, Yes and Weezer in my iPod. I also love H2O, Fear, Dream Theater, Rush, P-Funk, The Band, lots of local/unsigned bands and stuff like that.

Movies:

Pretty much any comedy, "gangster flick", or anything based around music and ALL the Rocky movies. I like alot of horror movies too, mainly the cheasy shit and zombie flix. Mostly stuff like Freddy, Jason and the Return of the Living Dead movies.

Television:

I watch about 6 hours of TV a week. Simpsons, Family guy, American Dad, Carlos Mencia and various stuff on Comedy Central and Cartoon Network.

Books:

Not much of a readin kinda guy. The only books i've read since highschool were "The Outsiders", the James Brown Autobiography and "The Historian". Right now I'm reading a "Friday the 13th novel". I tend to read more when there's no beer around and I need to get to sleep.

Heroes:

Rick Allen SR., Glen Buxton, Brian James, Captain Sensible and the rest of the guitar greats. And of course Robert Deniro, Homer Simpson and Raphael (he's cool but rude).

Myspace

Myspace and the Internet in general is great. I was actually playing music in bars and "the scene" before this shit really caught on. It was tough then. You actually had to leave the fuckin house. ...

The Greatest Combo pt. 2

They were out of potato wedges, which was OK because I fancy the mac and cheese a bit more. This thing filled me up pretty good. Actually, I ended giving 1 of the tacos to Ernst. However, the macar...
