I am here for Friends

About Me

Love to have fun! I'll settle for whatever comes my way.
Always make friends where ever life takes me. Feel very lucky for all the amazing and spectacular people i've had the privilage of knowing. Great people who have been wonderful friends sometimes when needed most but have passed away now. Miss them and the fun we had.When people are loyal to me and on my side, there're treated with respect and givin almost unconditional friendship in return. I'm usually calm, and extremely joyful! Charismatic and dynamic. Known to have a great heart and loves being alive. Master guitarist and mentor to others. Favorite players are Randy Rhoads , Malmsteen , Jason Becker and Satriani. Have always tried to be two people, Jack La Lane and Hank Garland. How am I doing? LoL I know algebra but you know how we forget that kind of stuff if we don't keep up on it. In my opinion Eddie Van was a bad-ass guitarist. I always like the faces musicians make when they play. Some just make a big smile. When I really like someone I'll try to make them laugh. LoL I think The Beastie Boys are a cool band. I'm old fashioned and liked America better in the seventies. I'm a good person and know right from wrong, good from evil, which is lacking in our society. Like to go to the beach early in the morning. And stay till it's getting dark. Still feel like i'm 21 and am amazed how the world has changed since then. Dislike hatred and I don't even like the word. Sometimes, start slippin' and say I hate something then I feel THE DARK SIDE OF THE FORCE! But, I am a good guy and still love my girlfriend from kindergarden. Your either for me or against me. Either my friend or my enemy. Let's be friends. What use is an enemy? This one's for the good guys! And remember this...never say i love you, if you don't really care...never talk about feelings, if they aren't really there...never touch a life, if you mean to break a heart...never say you're going to, if you don't plan to start...never look me in they eye, when all you do is lie...never say hello, if you really mean good-bye. Also, believe that fear is the path to the dark side. Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering. For my ally is the Force, and a powerful ally it is. Life creates it, makes it grow. Its energy surrounds us and binds us. Luminous beings are we, not this crude matter. You must feel the Force around you, here, between you, me, the tree, the rock, everywhere, yes. A Jedi must have the deepest commitment, the most serious mind. Remember, a Jedi's strength flows from the Force. But beware. Anger, fear, aggression. The dark side are they. Once you start down the dark path, forever will it dominate your destiny. Named must your fear be before banish it you can. Ohhh. Great warriors. Wars not make one great. Soon will I rest, yes, forever sleep. Earned it I have. Twilight is upon me, soon night must fall...

My Interests

Wishing warm blessings to good friends whom without them or their site, I definitely would not exist on myspace. I like me page & all me good friends. Blessed & warm.

I'd like to meet:

Girls who like to cook for me :D A musicologist, Wilbur and Orville Wright, Abraham Lincoln because he say's cool stuff like "that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain, that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth." And "Pokemon". Love to meet and jam with the bass player from 'Sabbath.

Music:

Listen to a lot of different styles of music. All kinds of cool music. Just searching for more music that has something to offer my ears and my heart. Love guitar instrumentals. Jamming music that gives me goose bumps. Will listen to anything once. Always like jamming hardcore. Joe Satriani and lot's of guitar shredder's. Racer X, Steeler, Cacophony and shredder music. Lately, more classical, like Mozart and Beethoven. Disco, new wave, psychedelic rock, repetitive rock music, hard acid rock blues ( Frank Marino, Montrose, Robin Trower, Edgar Winter, and of course Jimi Hendrix ). Slayer's first, Ozzy's first and second, Malmsteen's first, are some classic favorites. Brad Gilis on Speak of the Devil(Ozzy), speedmetal, early Metalica, Pantera, SFU, The Accused(Martha Splatterhead), Znowhite, Thackery, Hex Martyr, Childhoods, Merciful Fate, Celtic Frost, Rollin's Band, Helmet, Prong, Sepultura, Exodus, Venom, S.O.D., Bad Religion, Gang Green, 7 Seconds, DK, Descendents, Misfits, Minor Threat, CroMags, Bad Brains, The Ramones, G.B.H, Starring Problem, NOFX, Me First and the Gimmi Gimmi's, Gwar, The Cars, Cake, The Zombies, The Cult, Smashing Pumkins, Skeletones, DEVO, Soundgarden, Haunted Garage, Boris the Sprinkler, Sublime, Scorpions, Van Halen, Ted Nugent, Black Sabbath, Kings X, Motley Crue, Judas Priest, Led Zepplin, Buddy Guy, Red Hot Chili Pepper's, Public Enemy, Ice T, Bob Marley, Lenny Kravits, No Dout, Weird Al Yankovik, Rush, Suicide Commando, Concrete Blonde, Blondie, Kinghorse, Scavenger, Twisted Sister, Elvis Presley, Neil Diamond, Jackson Five, Earth Wind and Fire, Weezer, The Doors, The Kinks, Les Paul and lot's of oldies. Music from the 20's and 30's and even older stuff to is facsinating. It's not like we can hear the CD tracks. Here's the sheet music and play it yourself. LoL Some of my favorite songs are, Fade To Black ( Metallica ), House Of The Rising Sun ( The Animals ), Ice Cream Man, Little Dreamer, I'm The One ( Van Halen ), Mr. Crowley ( Ozzy ), Under The Bridge ( Peppers ), Yesterday, Let It Be, Ticket To Ride ( Beatles ), Lithium ( Nirvana ), Prodigal Son ( Iron Maiden ), Now Your Ships Are Burned ( Yngwie Malmsteen ), Music gives a soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination, and life to everything. Love the great songs of the universe! Most of us go to our graves with our music still inside of us. Did I mention I have loved to play the guitar forever? I grew up with other guitar players who have had different kinds of views on what guitar should sound and look like. I look back and see flaws in my own interpretations. And charactaristics that I've overlooked. I imagine. What if the guitarists from the 30's and 40's had my guitar rig? My Crate stack amplifier and Floyd Rosed Jackson guitar and my digital delay pedals? That would be cool. Elvis Presley's guitarist(who I have always liked his playing since I can remember) Hank Garland from 1957 to 1961 could have really used a modern day Marshall stack or something like that. Discovered so many new bands lately that surely are forgeting many. KISS was one of the first bands I was into at 5 years old. Then, Elvis and The Jackson Five! ha ha ha Could play 10 Led Zepplin songs on guitar by the time I was 11. The Rover is also a favorite.

Movies:

Went to see The Octagon when it first came out back in like 78-79 and before the movie started Chuck Norris, on stage, did a live demonstation for the audience. Really, he's was hanging around our karate dojo next door to the theater. Back then he was just a bare knuckle karate champion who could actually land a spinning back kick flush on the chin. I love movies. As you know there's all kinds of different types of movies. Movies can enrich us and impact our lives in positive ways. I know at least two people who never watch movies ever. And they both seem to share a similiar kind of souless character. Dawn of the Dead(the original), Kill bill, Cyborg, Bloodsport, Evil Dead, Spawn, Wizards, As Good As It Gets, National Treasure, Remember the Titans, Riding Giants, Forrest Gump, Black Mask, Thursday, Full Metal Jacket, Star Wars, Terminator, Spiderman, The Outsiders, Meet the Parents, School of Rock, Back to the Future, Raiders of the Lost Ark, Edward Penis Hands, The Cable Guy, The Titanic, The Lost Boys, ET, Amytiville Horror, Men At Work, Groundhog Day, Mortal Kombat, The Usual Suspects, Vacation, Highlander, Caddy Shack, Trapped In Paradise, Weekend At Bernies, Warlock, Halloween, The Hobbit, All That Jazz, Billy Jack, Mutiny On The Bounty, Heavy Metal, Watership Down, Death Race 2000, Dirty Harry, Mad Max, Death Wish, Ghetto Nights, Monty Python and the Holy Grail, Goodfellas, The Dragon, Master of the Flying Guillotine!, Wayne's World I and II, Taxi Driver, Clockwork Orange, The Warriors, The Jerk, Happy Gilmore, Gremlins, Phantasm, Fist of Golden Monkey, Saturday the 14th, The Godfather, Scarface, Boondock Saints, Braveheart, Die Hard I II and III, Roadhouse, Return of the Dragon(Bruce Lee and Chuck Norris showdown), Fast Times at Rigdemont High, An old movie from the seventies that no one remembers called Casey and Co. and most Action/Adventure, Comedy, Documentary, and Groovy Flicks

Books:

Have so much to read already. I'm a study addict. Love reading. Reading is fun at the library. There's always a great big table to sit at and lot's and lot's of books for reference. Good to have books all over the house too because there are just so many for me to examine. Most of the ones I enjoy reading are non-fiction modern physics subjects, like "Spiritual Machines", Hawking’s "A Briefer History of Time", and an awesome book you might like to go out and buy because you'll love it is "Modern Physics" by Kenneth S. Krane.
"Understanding Physics" by Isaac Asimov which a high school teacher got me into and taught me about some of physicists who put there thoeries to the test in thier science fiction stories like Isaac Asimov. "THE SILMARILLION" by J.R.R. Tolkien, epic that recounts The First Age of Middle-earth, long before Bilbo, Frodo and Gandalf go on their quests. Essential background material for serious lovers of fantasy. It sets the stage for The Lord of the Rings saga. "FAHRENHEIT 451" by Ray Bradbury, "A Wizard of Earthsea" by Ursula K. Le Guin, "HARRY POTTER AND THE SORCERER'S STONE" by J.K. Rowling, oh my goodness. I love these books. Too bad one can't come out every year. Wonderfully done. Other books i'm reading are "Walking the Tightrope of Reason" by Robert J. Fogelin, and "Bad Dreams" by Kim Newman.

Heroes:

George Washington, the first President of the United States. John Fitzgerald Kennedy who was killed by an assassin's bullets. Kennedy was the youngest man elected President, he was the youngest to die. Christopher Columbus remains a mysterious and controversial figure who has been variously described as one of the greatest mariners in history, a visionary genius, a mystic, a national hero, a failed administrator, a naive entrepreneur, and a ruthless and greedy imperialist. Walt Disney "To all that come to this happy place, welcome."
Hey, what about me?"I love animals" and no indians, untouchables, or alligators were harmed in the making of this page.
