Patrick J. Stefano

the things we love the most...are the things we take for granted.

About Me

I have interest,think or participate in the following...
- I do all sorts of Photography for In a Heartbeat I take some pretty damn good pictures. - I listen to music all the time, (from hardcore, punk, hip hop, jazz, frank sinatra, indie, alternative, vocal, orchestral,metal, rockabilly, instrumental,classic rock, blues, alternative indie rock country, to yelping...I probably listen to it.) - I have a good portion of my body covered in tattoos, (I probably have more than you) - A lot of people HATE ME,(And for good reason) - I bike ride everywhere, (and yes I do mean everywhere) - I work all the time , (I just do A LOT of photo work lately...) - I enjoy watching films, ( and making them!) - I love my friends more than my relatives ,( it's true, my friends are my family.) - I like to have a beer from time to time. - My beer(s) of choice being...Guiness,Woodchuck Hard Cider, Yuengling,Miller High Life,Pabst, Gennesse Cream Ale & Mickey's - I listen to vinyl records more than I do cd's,casette tapes,mp3's,mini discs or eight tracks - Touring & traveling keep me sane - The only reason to watch tv is for The Simpsons & Twentyfour, (just to see Jack Bauer shoot a son of a bitch) - I'm a smartass, (or an asshole it depends who you ask) - I like to pass out watching movies or listening to music. - I love my Mother & Father ,( I just need to learn to stop telling my father to shut the hell up all the time) - I fancy antique cars and motorcycles - Billards is my booze game of choice, (it's pretty much my game of choice regardless how many cheap beers i've had) - I dream of a world where I could afford to eat at Dinosaur BBQ atleast once a day - I need a decent paying full time job,ANYWHERE Ican get one. - I'm one of the most determined & ambtious people ever - For some odd reason I enjoy answering questions about me,be it,personal,professional,or just stupid.
Current Playlist as of June 18th, 2007
The Draft "In A Million Pieces: Dead Hearts "Bitter Verses" Samiam "Whatevers Got You Down" The Jazz June "The Medicine" As Friends Rust "A Young Trophy Band"
"This is where we are, we are here...Together all our blood,sweat,tears & pain have brought us to this point. From here on out, start to finish, we must work together, not as a scene but as a community and above all else, as friends..."
*My friend Annemarie wrote this about me, I thought she was pretty dead on so here it is...
"Pat Stefano is an awesome dude. He seriously is. He's a little crazy but his friends seem to love him regardless. Parents seem to like him as well, even though he's got lots of tattoos and parents don't like tattoos that much. He also gets hit by cars a lot when he's riding his bike.
Pat used to live in Philladelphia not too long ago but then he got kicked out of school for something really stupid and the school should have been sued haha. Then he moved back to Rochester to live with his dad, who must also be an awesome dude because he raised an awesome kid.
Pat also used to put on a lot of shows and now he doesn't really but he still works hard doing layouts for cds and taking pictures for bands. He's really good at what he does and should get paid lots of money for doing it. Sometimes it seems like he does a million of these things at once.
All in all Pat is a really good friend and he's got a heart of gold even if sometimes people think he's an asshole (lol). The world would be a less better place were Pat not in it. The end."
