Everything's coming up Milhouse!

About Me

I'm playing drums in a couple bands right now- Rome In A Day my 'original' band and Half Nasty my 'cover' band. It is just barely paying the bills. I have aspirations to both never work a job I don't enjoy and never go hungry. Wish me luck.

Half Chinese and half Irish, if you were wondering.

My Interests

Drums, Music in general. Movies that make me think. Trivia, Baseball, Crossword Puzzles. Good books, good food, good company.

I'd like to meet:

People who can think for themselves. Societal troublemakers and instigators. People with confidence. People who are unique- but not for their hair or the clothes they wear.. People who can write real music. People who can talk their way out of trouble. People who think before they speak and speak before they act.
'Normal people with interesting vices.'

Also, Keira Knightley. : )

Current "Bottom Four" Theme: 'black and white pics..'

Music:

Collective Soul, Silverchair, Live, Black Lab, Dexter Freebish, Alice in Chains, Eve 6, Better than Ezra, Soundgarden, Red Hot Chili Peppers, (old) Offspring, Dishwalla, Disturbed, Counting Crows, Sevendust, The Police, Led Zeppelin, Stone Temple Pilots, Chevelle, Just Jinger, Tool, Jimmy Eat World, Stabbing Westward, Nirvana, Genesis, Sublime, Smashing Pumpkins, Gin Blossoms, Default, Something Corporate, Incubus, Anberlin

Kick ass local/independent bands:

Movies:

American History X, the Usual Suspects, Shawshank Redemption, A Few Good Men, LA Confidential, Se7en, Mystic River, Million Dollar Baby, Empire Records

Television:

Does this really count as an update...?
