Music, family, being happy, food, chasing silly dreams, being a rad dad, and tattoos.
I wouldnt mind meeting some of the people that have influenced me over the years. Other than that i dont open up that much to strangers...unless you can rock some 80s at karaoke, or stock Miller High Life at your bar, then we are pals.
Who i would NOT like to meet are hypocrites(religious or otherwise)and people who try to live vicariously through the band and people who like to police my every move.
-"Your religion is what you do when the sermon is over. The greatest way to live with honor in this world is to be what we pretend to be. ~Socrates"

I like movies that either scare the shit out of me, movies that give me reason to question things, or movies that make me choke i laugh so hard. Everything in between i can tolerate.
Court TV, The History Channel, CSI Vegas, or Vh1 because i have MAD love for New York!
Its very rare i sit down and read a book. My attention span wont allow it. The Heroin Diaries by Nikki Sixx and the CRUE biography "The Dirt" a.k.a. The Bible, in my opinion, was fantastic.
My son Lucas for all the things he has had to live through over the past couple of years. He is so strong.
Matt Ledford for everything he was, is, and always will be. He is my inspiration every day. Our bond never grows weak, it only gets stronger. I miss you and love you so much.
Joe Francis and Nikki Sixx.
