About Me

I play guitar, play video games and watch DVDs when I'm not inadvertently teaching my son to be a miscreant. I also work as a production artist/graphic designer. I like bowling and have been going to the Punk Rock Bowling Tournament every year for the past seven years or so. I seem to wash my car alot as well.

My Interests

My son, music, video games, crappy movies, my car, computer crap.

Music:

I listen to a lot of Supergrass, Green Day, Mr. T Experience, Foo Fighters, Ramones, New York Dolls, early Van Halen, AC/DC, Motorhead..., a bunch of old-school power-pop stuff and a bunch of old school punk stuff.

Movies:

Looking through my DVDs I've noticed there is a lot of Music DVDs and Sci-Fi and Animation. Huh, I had no idea my taste in entertainment was so narrow.

Television:

I don't really watch television other than for games and DVDs, especially now that I have had my cable shut off (that's a lot of money per month for something if you don't actually use it). And just think, if the world comes to an end and I don't have CNN or FOX to tell me about it, I'll just assume everyone's running around screaming because their stupid. Wouldn't that be a kick in the pants. "Hey, stupid people! Running and screaming won't make you smart!"

Books:

I should read more. I (still) think David Sedaris is a riot.

Heroes:

David Johansen, Lemmy, Iggy, Steve Jones.If you can find something that rocks harder than that up there, I'd love to see it.

RazzleFrazzle

So, a lot of shit's happened. Nothing huge (meaning: everythin's huge). In 12 months time I became a dad (!), moved from one coast to another, had heart surgery, a priceless guitar stolen, aquired and...

Getting kinda busy

Hola amigos. What's shakin'? I know it's been a while since I rapped at ya, but things have been a bit busy here in zippity-fuckin'-doo-dah land. For starters, I'm always high on pain killers, so that...

New guitar!

OK, so I finally got a new guitar today. It's a gold top, not a $50,000 '57 but a financially more manageable reissue. I played it against a few other, more expensive, Les Pauls and while it wasn't qu...

Back home

I've only lived here in LA for a couple weeks, but it sure is nice to be back home. My stereo, my playstation, my computers, my bed for fucks sake. I don't get to drink anything fun for a while so I'm...

Headin' back to LA

So we're heading back to LA after a very busy couple of weeks in NYC. An experience I thought was going to end in tragedy yesterday when I ran out of pain medicine and couldn't get any more. Finally g...

More crap for me to think about

OK, so I must come to terms with the fact that the moving company (Moishes) lost (!) my guitar. My beloved Les Paul. My fault? Certainly. Do I hate them? With a passion. While we remain in talks with ...

Post-Op. Kinda painful

So, I've been out of the hospital for about two days now. I've been sitting (and walking and laying and standing) around watching various very kind people take care of the baby while I recover slowley...
