The Sickness That You Are

If she were a street gang, I'd f*ckin' go to war with her with bottles and chains!

About Me

Hallo, my name is Mickey, or Matt, depending on the people I'm with. I'm a musician, chemical engineer, and plant manager. I play guitar, bagpipes, accordion, pennywhistle, didgeridoo, and a little bit of bass, mandolin, banjo, concertina, and violin. I'm also a classicly trained percussionist, but its been awhile since I've played anything other than bodhran, doumbek, djembe, or frame drum. hmm, yup...that's 'bout it. I also dislike grammer and punctuation when I'm typing...this was a struggle. The End...

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

People that don't deal with drama. If you thrive on drama and other people's misery, you can shove that shit right up your ass, or cut your own throat and save the rest of the world some trouble. Either way is fine with me. Oh yeah, I'd really like to meet your mom...I hear she does this thing in bed....

Music:

My musical tastes run pretty far and wide. I listen to alot of traditional and contemporary Celtic, Bluegrass, Appalacia, and Old Gypsy stuff. I'm also a huge fan of most metal. Here's some bands that I listen to pretty often: Dethklok, Naglfar, Thyrfing, Strapping Young Lad, Ween, Violent Femmes, Emperor, Mayhem, Hecate Enthroned, In Flames, Therion, Arch Enemy, Into Eternity, Dark Funeral, Dissection, Tiamat, Demons & Wizards, Blind Guardian, Iced Earth, The Pogues, The Cheiftains, S.O.D., Death, Burzum, Old Man's Child, Shadows Fall, At the Gates, Ulver, Venom, Finntroll, Amon Amarth, Dimmu Borgir, GWAR, Einjerjer, Marduk, Sentenced, Apocalyptica, Inchtabokatables, Subway to Sally, Savatage, oh yeah...and Silverchair, and yes, I am a massive fan of Nirvana...got to see them in '93. good show.

Movies:

Way to much to even attempt listing.

Television:

METALOCALYPSE!!!, Aqua Teen Hunger Force, Family Guy, South Park, Chappelle Show, Reno 911, Gerhard Reinke's Wanderlust(even though its been canceled for awhile)

Books:

Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time series. Nothing compares to this, nothing. I read a lot of fantasy books. Terry Brooks, R.A. Salvatore, Tolkien, etc. I read reference and history books as well.

Heroes:

All of my heroes have died or sold their souls, dignity, and integrity. I burn an effigy to all of them.
