Thanks for the birthday wishes everyone!!!

About Me

My name is Justin Catrow. I just turned 30 years old and live in Inwood,WV. I grew up in Gerrardstown,WV and have lived in the Martinsburg,WV area all my life.
The thing I'm best at and most passionate about in life is music... I'm a guitar player. I've played since my early teens... not really sure what age I started. I'm self-taught for the most part... I did take lessons briefly, but once I got the basics and started being able to figure stuff out on my own, I was outta there. In the summer of 2006 my sister's ex and I formed a metal band called 'BY DEMONS BE DRIVEN' . We played a ton of shows, placed 1st Runner-Up in the "Headbang For The Highway" battle-of-the-bands after being together less than 6 months, and recorded a 5-song EP called "Through Dying Eyes" ... all in less than one year. We broke up for a while, but now several of the original 'BDBD' members are back together and will hopefully be back out playing shows again this summer. Be sure to check out our/my music in the mp3 player below!
I'm also interested in other paying gigs such as soundtracks, session work, fill-ins, side projects, etc. Metal is my favorite music of course, but I enjoy playing & listening to other types too. I've played in rock bands and even written guitar parts for hip-hop songs. I'm open to collaborating/writing all forms of music, though I'm definitely better at some than others. I'm a decent lyricist too. So, if you've got a business proposition for me... let's hear it. You can reach me via Myspace or by Email at [email protected]. You can also use that contact info. to purchase a copy of our "Through Dying Eyes" EP .
I like nearly all forms of entertainment; music, movies/TV/plays, stand-up comedy, etc. I really dig science, history, space, mysteries, nature, and animals. I like to read and watch shows about all of those subjects. I like football and have been a Chicago Bears fan since the first time I saw Walter Payton (R.I.P.) play as a kid. I'm also a West Virginia Mountaineers fan! My 2nd favorite sport is hockey and the Washington Capitals are my favorite team! I LOVE shooting pool and I like boxing & MMA too. I can tolerate a lil' bit of basketball, but I absolutely cannot stand baseball.
I DON'T like people that: don't say what they mean, don't speak their minds, don't think for themselves, lack their own identity, are two-faced, are dishonest, are disloyal, are judgemental, lack a sense of humor, or over-use political correctness. I also can't stand organized religion. Im fine with spirituality... there's a HUGE difference.

My Interests

Music is my biggest passion in life. I like many types and styles as well as lots of different instruments. I've got a metal band, which you can find links to here on my page.

I love movies, a few TV shows, and books. I'm an animal lover. I'm also always interested in nature, science, history, space, and mysteries and/or the unexplained.

I'd like to meet:

I'd like to meet, or have met, any of my many favorite musicians like Slash, Dimebag Darrell (R.I.P.), Johnny Cash (R.I.P.), etc. I'd like to meet/met Stanton Friedman, Neil deGrasse Tyson, Albert Einstein (R.I.P.), Dr.J.Allen Hynek (R.I.P.), Carl Sagan (R.I.P.), William Cooper (R.I.P.), Peter Joseph, or Galileo Galilei (R.I.P.) so I could pick their brains about physics, outer space, and unexplained phenomena. Some other interesting people I'd like to meet/met would be my Grandfather Henry Pugh (R.I.P.) who died before I was born, writer Hunter S. Thompson (R.I.P.), radio personalities Elliot Segal and The Greaseman, comedians Bill Hicks (R.I.P.) and George Carlin (R.I.P.), and fellow West Virginian Morgan Spurlock. I'd also like to meet/met some of my favorite athletes like Walter Payton (R.I.P.), Brett Favre, or Alex Ovechkin or the most beautiful athlete ever, Gina Carano! And then I'd also like to meet some of my favorite Hollywood hotties like Jill Wagner, January Jones, Anne Hathaway, Emmanuelle Chriqui, Marilyn Monroe (R.I.P.) or Robin Meade from CNN, or any of my other favorite entertainers.

Movies:

I like most all genres and I have too many favorites to list. Too many favorite actors/actresses to list too.

I saw a really interesting documentary recently called, 'Zeitgeist' . It's about the manipulation of the general public by government and religious leaders. One of the most fascinating things I've ever seen. You can watch the entire film at the link above.

I also watch my share of reality TV on VH1. One of my favorite shows to watch is called 'Out There TV' . It's a conspiracy and mystery type show. They're full of shit a lot of the time, but it's entertaining as hell!

I also really like the mini-series' 'Band Of Brothers' and 'The Company' .

When I'm watching TV it's usually on one of the following: 'Discovery Channel' , 'History Channel' , 'PBS' , or sometimes A&E, TNT, AMC, SpikeTV, FX, Fox, USA, MTV, VH1, or CMT.

Heroes:

My Father. He's truly a great man and I owe him more than I could repay in two lifetimes.

The rest of my family as well... my Mother, my Sister, Uncle Mike & Aunt Liz, Gramma & Pap, Nana & Henry, all my Aunts, Uncles, and Cousins on both sides of the family, and anyone that I've been fortunate enough to call my friend... past or present.

Anyone foreign or domestic, military or civilian, past or present, that has given their life taking a stand, fighting against impossible odds, fighting for freedom, or fighting for something they truly believe in.
