About Me


I edited my profile with Thomas Myspace Editor V3.6 !
I've lived in New York, Florida, Tennessee, and am back in Florida now. Back in the late 80's I was a long-haired heavy metal guitar god but got burned out by the constant band drudgery.. decided to take a break but didn't think it would be this long....still have a few guitars and pick around now and again...a lot more into blues and mellow stuff now, but can still blast heavily on the old loud rock stuff ( feedback still rules ). I've been a screen printer, traveling concert merchandiser. purchasing agent for a mechanical contractor, cup and mug assembler and printer, landscaper, and now I work for a major window and door manufacturer. I've been in 42 states here and to Canada, England, and Scotland. I don't do the all-night club hopping, my pool will do just fine. I prefer pubs to bars ( there is a big difference ), music over television, tiki bars with loads of good people, some reggae, and a margarita ( or several ), working in the yard ( always some landscaping and lighting projects ), and putting on skulls, chains, and spikes for Raider games... Most of the time I just like to chill out on my lanai with some good music and enjoy the fruits of my labor in the yard. I work hard ay my job and at home, but I make enough time to play as well. I do speak my mind a lot ( maybe too much ), and that gets me in a little trouble at times, but that's the way it is...I'm not into sugar-coating anything just because it's what others want to hear. I possess a biting sarcasm and most nimble wit ( when you hang out with Duane and Qax for 20 years, you have to be quick ), and am into a good bit of sports trivia and know at least half a billion jokes - most of them pretty bad... And, as you can probably tell, I do get an artistic blast from time to time...now I'm coming up with more and more crazy things on my photo programs to make into "art" than I can fit on here...I've got some strange creations that won't make it on here, and I've done a few things for some other people on here as well.... My priorities are family, friends, and me in that order. I can cook some serious Italian feasts, with baked ziti, sausage and peppers, various pizzas, and stuffed peppers being my specialties...not to mention the greatest patty melts in the history of the civilized world...Sometimes I'll just make up some stuff and it turns out most delicious....I am also decent on the grill ( my Dad is the King of the Grill, though, no matter what Duane says ), and I can make giant stuffed burgers that will tear your head off .... I've never been married and have no kids, but if the right girl appears for me to to welcome to my world, and me to hers, it would be fantabulous.... "I'm not into being with somebody just the sake of it....it should be something really cool and worthwhile, and if that's the case, then we're off the script...... until then, we all just keep on rockin'........the louder the better...oh, and by the way.......I rule.

My Interests


Salem's Lot at Sal's - 1989 - THAT..was cool. BEER.....is good... Babes....are good... Guitars, pints of English ale, darts, football, baseball, wrestling, more guitars, more beer ( proper beer, that is ), good people, good music, good beer, dodging hurricanes, cool chicks, more guitars, loud amps for said guitars, pubs, landscaping, beer, da RRrrrraidas ( the greatest team in the history of football ), da Yankees ( 26-time world champions - Boston sucks! ), loud rock and roll, making big giant sliding French Doors ( dats my job ), meeting cool people, doing good things for cool people, and generally just being me.

I'd like to meet:

Cool ass people....there are millions of you, and I invite you all into my world for some giggles and banter... would like to find a chick that is just cool to hang out and be REAL with... I know there is a good one for me somewhere, just not sure where.....of course, this all could be a myth....no drama, no stories, a normal honest babe will go a long way....time will tell... some semi-former musicians like me to jam and get the rust out..not ruling out a late-life comeback, but I need some musical creative spark from an actual human musician....I can only play the same things over again so many times.....after that, somebody that can get me John Smith's Extra Smooth Ale, and anyone who wants to give me guitars or money. Back massages are also accepted...from women ONLY, of course...

Music:

Rammstein !! All the classic Italian greats ( Dean Martin, Louis Prima, Jimmy Roselli ), classic old school heavy metal ( Ozzy, Metallica, Salem's Lot, etc. ), Hendrix, AC/DC ( the louder the better ), Kiss, Alice, Ted (the master ), Elvis ( THE king ), SRV ( THE man ), Prince, Tori Amos, Eva Cassidy ( my angel ), Neil Diamond, Buffet, lots and lots of blues, of course the Reverend Horton Heat ( THE one and only ), Pantera ( rock on forever, Dime ), the REAL Van Halen ( with Dave ), guitar gods ( Chastain, Vai, Malmsteen..) smooth jazz instrumentals, oldies, some alternative, some good island reggae and steel drums when I'm lounging in the pool with a margarita, and basically all types of good guitar stuff .....what they call hard rock/metal nowadays is pretty lame... very little country is tolerated and rap/hip-hop is not tolerated at all. Of course my old and odd recordings are good for a giggle now and again....

Television:

Limited television......news, football, baseball, the occasional movie or Seinfeld, and some good DVD concerts, too....30 minutes of SportsCenter and Fox news and I'm good for the day...would much rather chill outside then watch a load of crap on the TV just to have it on......


The Three Idiots....Me and Duane and Qax.....we shall rule forever..................and yes, after all these years, we have finally become an actual cartoon....

Books:

Stephen King, misc. bios, and some sports stuff.

Heroes:

Mom and Dad, everyone serving our country and protecting our people, Duane, Qax, Carter, B-Fn-C ( sounds good, turn it up ! ),Bwad, and people who just do good things for others and ask for nothing in return.... My (unofficial) "nephew" Bobby Brewer - United States Air Force..So proud of you, dude....another reason to be a proud American
