About Me

MyGen Profile GeneratorHey everyone. If you're here then there's a good chance you're a friend of mine. We know each other, talk on the phone, get together. etc, etc, etc...If we don't know each other then welcome!Here's something you may or may not know about me: I cut my own hair. Most of the time you wouldn't know that. Sometimes you would.
Anyhow glad you found my space of my.
I try to be humble. I'm just a guy trying to get along in the world. I hold doors open for people and smile as they pass my way. I say thank you when a door is held open for me. I let people in front of me in traffic. I try and take nothing for granted and am always pleased when I have the chance to participate in cordial and/or positive interaction with my fellows. It really is the little things.

If you didn't already know, my band is The Living Dolls. We are, what I like to call "Neo Mod". I use the word "Neo" because the music and style isn't to the mod letter. We move into different areas and our influences get absorbed into what we do. Those areas aren't always mod based but we love mod style and music and were highly influenced by the fasions and sounds that go along with the MODern world. There, as far as I know, isn't any tangible mod scene in Los Angeles and there probably won't be after we start playing but boy I sometimes miss the ol' days at the ON club. It'd be great to do shows with other mod influenced bands. If you're in the L.A. area send me an e-mail. Let's do shows together! For those of you who also don't know, Tony Rugalo of The Question fame is playing bass in the band! Also, guitar God Kyle from Greta is our lead guitarist.
I'll leave you with some things to think about:
1. Listening is the new talking.
2. Do something nice for someone if they find out it was you it doesn't count.
3. Stop second guessing people. Take what they say and do at face value. If they don't mean what they say refer to number 4
3. Listen to what people tell you about themselves and believe them. They're giving you a gift and you'll save yourself much grief.
4. Learn what you can and can't accept in relationships of any kind and live by it. Your stress load will lighten and your friends list will thin out but the percentage of quality relationships will increase
5. If you have two people in your life that you love dearly and have a truly intimate friendship with consider yourself lucky at having more than most. If you have more than two, well, then you are genuinely blessed.
