About Me

Hey! Well first thanks for stopping by. I'm never really sure about what to put here. I try to change it once every few weeks. Okay...hmm...Something interesting I suppose. I'll just ramble...
Obviously, I'm a drummer. Currently the drummer for patientZero (full time) and EM5 (part time). (Check the ol' handy dandy top friends for a link to the pz page) I've been playing for 15 years or something and love it. Just a local boy trying ot make a living in this business!
Other than that, I'm a movie lover. My DVD's are my best friends, which is probably pretty sad. But...chilling out watching a good flick with a big ol' tub of popcorn (freshly made of course) is how I care to spend my free time. Which reminds me, I need to work on that movie list on this page too. I love comedies, suspense, whatever! Not real fond of horror movies. Its hard to find one made well really.
Lets see...what else. I'm easy to get along with. LOVE having fun. Um...Long walks in the beach, shiney blue things, easy mac, swapping people's lawn ornaments in the middle of the night and not taking life TOO seriously are all things that make me happy.
Okay...this is going no where. haha Just ask me whatever. :^)
"Your lucky and nothing more than a frame of reference for the lucky. You are lucky, so I may know that I'm not. Unfortunately the lucky never realizes they are lucky until it's too late. Take yourself for instance; yesterday you were better off than you are off today but it took today for you to realize it. BUT today has arrived AND it's too late... You see? People are never happy with what they have. They want what the had... or what others have... Grass is always greener on the other side."

My Interests

food, sleep, music, movies, music, sleep, food, movies, hockey games, music, sleep, jazz clubs, cocktails, and chillin'. Oh oh...and sleep. mmm...sleeeeeeeeeeping. Ambition is a poor excuse for those who don't have enough sense to be lazy. haha. J/K. But yeah, music is kind of my forte.

Diana Krall Saves The Day (Every day)

I'm being quiet...here's why...

Sometimes, we stay on the downlow for whatever reason. I haven't talked much about what I've been up to and been pretty vague when my friends (such as you) ask. So, to inform and clear up any misunder...
