About Me

Come and visit me here....

Skype = simondsm
Google Talk = simondsm
aim = simondsmichael

I work, a lot. I am rarely home. I play in rocks bands, and I run sound for rock bands. Every once in a while, I make a web site for somebody. I also hold a day job at a municipal television studio where people make shows like Wayne's World. Go ahead, and laugh it up; The benefits package is awesome.

Growing up, I wanted to be a famous rock star and/or make my living by being involved with music. Well, this is not exactly what I had in mind, but I am involved with music, and I do make enough money at it to call it a second income.

Currently I play in a Hard Rock/Heavy Metal cover band by the name of Decibel . It is always a good time. Every once in a blue moon, you can also find me in someone else's band for a night.

I also work as the interim house live sound engineer (the house guy) at Dibbo's in Hudson, WI. I really do not know if I am the house guy, or not the house guy. I just know that I run a large majority of the shows there.

I am a stereotypical Libra - a master of balance. In one hand I am your crazy, long-haired, pierced, and tattooed rock-n-roller. In the other hand, I am a very laid back, and quiet family man.

Thank you for shopping at the House of Miguel.

Eddie Van Halen.... You are talented, out there, social, flamboyant,
hyper, and full of energy.
Which rockstar are you like?

I have a bunch of cool shit for sale at kick-ass prices at Amazon.com marketplace . Come and help support the cause.

My Interests

Whiskey, Beer, Boobs, stuff that explodes, big pickup trucks, working out, kick-ass BBQ, and throwing down the M.F. Rawk. Yup... I am your typical guy

I'd like to meet:

Anybody that does not suck.

My calendar changes very frequently - Especially live sound gigs. Check back often.

Music:

If it does not suck, then I like it - and I like a lot of different shit.

Movies:

In addition to the typical Star Wars/Godfather/Scarface type movies that guys like me enjoy, I have also become an IFC nut.

I enjoy a lot off indie films. The kind that make you go, "WTF?", or, "BORING." (e.g. Trees Lounge, The Anniversary Party...)

I enjoy Lucas, Coppola, Spielberg, Burton, The Cohen Brothers, Tarantino - Except the Kill Bill movies sucked ass. You get the whole story in the first 5 minutes of Vo. 1, and the last 5 minutes of Vol. 2.

Television:

Television is poison. I hate Television. Yes, I work at a television studio for my day job, and I still hate it. However, this has to be the best television show ever made

Oh... And I started watching Heroes. That show kicks ass.

Books:

My life with reading pretty much consists of children's books, trade magazines, and owner's manuals.

I read all 12 novels of the Left Behind series. It was the first time I read Christian Science-Fiction, and it will probably be my last. Simply put, the story starts out really kick-ass, and ends with this total "700 club" theme. Fuck that.

I can read any Star Wars book. I'm a Star Wars fan. Call me a Star Trek fan, and I'll kick your ass.

Heroes:

Anyone who is not afraid to stand and face the world on their own.
