About Me

I am a Progressive Democrat (what some brain-washed Republicans would call a "liberal" b/c Rush Limbaugh told them too) living the life of corporate indentured servitude in the BEAUTIFUL town of Berwyn PA...
I am currently playing lead guitar in a Radiohead Cover band called Meeting in the Aisle... click below to visit our MySpace page:
Oh, here's my other original "band" (aka: me), check out some of my stuff:
http://www.myspace.com/theswallowsband
I am an avid reader and lover of indie rock, I hate dogs and love cats (but I don't want either), and think that life would be better is we all just pushed our cars off some cliff somewhere and stopped wearing flat-front khakis...
Want to read something worth reading besides the usual media swill and drivel?
http://www.monbiot.com - Tell people something they know already, and they will thank you for it. Tell them something new, and they will hate you for it. - George Monbiot
Especially good reading in his Religion section under the Categories running down the right hand side of the page...
Have a Nice Day...

My Interests

exploring the dark areas of my mind, and then torturing my friends to read it when it comes out in my latest MySpace blog, petting cats, swearing at minivan drivers, playing my GEETAR, recording, jamming, reading, writing, making fun of people who can't hear me so they can't get pissed at beat me up...

I'd like to meet:

here are some of my favorite Orwellean quotes:

    War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength. If you want a vision of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face - forever. Man is the only creature that consumes without producing. He does not give milk, he does not lay eggs, he is too weak to pull the plough, he cannot run fast enough to catch rabbits. Yet he is lord of all the animals. Political language... is designed to make lies sound truthful and murder respectable, and to give an appearance of solidity to pure wind. Serious sport has nothing to do with fair play. It is bound up with hatred, jealousy, boastfulness, disregard of all rules and sadistic pleasure in witnessing violence. In other words, it is war minus the shooting. War against a foreign country only happens when the moneyed classes think they are going to profit from it. War is a way of shattering to pieces... materials which might otherwise be used to make the masses too comfortable and... too intelligent.

Oh, here is a new message that just came in from God!
