Molesting the trauma doll of rock n' roll and pop psychology.

About Me


Welcome to my Blog!
Okay, to begin with I live in Norfolk, VA and work full-time as an IT analyst, part-time as a musician.
I also play in a band called THE BOTTLE BABIES. . Rock n' Roller, Computer Guru, all around good guy...what more do ya need to know? I'm constantly looking forward to meetin' new folks and going to new places. I got started on myspace 'cause I have a bunch of friends on here, and thought to myself, "ah, what the heck....". The rest is history. As far as the whole "Myspace" thing goes, I try to keep my blogs updated and usually have something to shoot my mouth off about.
When I'm not playing or working, I'm like anybody else, hang out w/ friends, watch the tube, surf the web, read, eat, blah, blah, blah....and so on.
Like anyone else, my life is good @ times, and it sucks @ times, and even though, I'm a pessimist, I try to look on the bright side of things....once again the key word is "TRY".
I had YAHOO Messenger, but it turned out to be a big pain in the butt, so I deleted it. I do not chat on-line. If you want to "chat", call me if you know my phone number.

My Interests

Music, reading, art, politics, travel (only to the UK and some parts of Europe though----I need to travel more, especailly back to England), world faiths & relegions, hangin' out w/ friends, TV, film & movies, not too big into sports, but I do love a good boxing match, coffee----gotta have it, anything computer related---yeah, that's the geek in me, learning new things, meeting new folks, writing, blah, blah, blah....

I'd like to meet:



ATTENTION: If I don't know you, then I'm NOT gonna add you...and this goes for your crappy band too, so don't even ask.

I only add people to my friends list that I know, hangout with, are related to me, or have met. Other than that, I'm not interested in meeting anyone, so don't even bother.

Music:

Johnny Cash, Old Crow Medicine Show, Violent Femmes, Sex-Pistols, The NY Dolls, The Dead Boys, Television, Buck Owens, Roy Clark, The Bottle Babies, Velvet Underground, The Ramones, The Hives, Bowie, Jet, Blondie, AC/DC, The FleshTones, The Cramps, Guadicanal Diary, Talking Heads, The Cure, Siouxie & The Banshees, Adam Ant, The Waterboys, Knonos Quartet, The Damned, 999, Combustible Edison, The Distillers, The Plasmatics, Butthole Surfers, Galaxie 500, Black Flag, Expolited, UK Subs, Husker Du, Sisters of Mercy, Devo, The Cars...and just about any "punk" or "new wave" bands from the 80's. I HATE bands like Limp Bizkit, 311, Everescence, Korn, Insane Clown Posse. etc. etc. etc. and any other "new metal or rap-rock" band. I find them tiresome and boring and irritating.

Movies:

Any Monty Python, B-movies, most horror flicks....The Exorcist one of my favorites, Woody Allen, anything w/ John Wayne, mostly into thriller, suspense, low and high brow horror, and some comedies. I also like some film noir and documentaries. ANY film directed by Terry Gillian from Monty Python. Favorite screen/music composer: Danny Elfman.

Television:

RENO 911, Chapelle Show, Discovery, South Park, NYPD Blue, America's Most Wanted, some "reality shows", Twilight Zone, any sci-fi, spoof shows, and I do like watching info-commercials....I don't know why, I just do.

And I Don't Wanna Live This Life---By Deb Sprungen
Crazy Cock---Henry Miller
