I have been surpassed by my heart.

About Me

I will now be using this profile as my personal page. I can still be reached here, but I would prefer if you'd add/message/etc. me at my main account, http://www.myspace.com/johnriccio.This myspace music profile is also dedicated to my film and television work. Currently, I'm featuring scores from the ESPN show, Guidehouse: Montauk.OK. Okay...Here are some random things that irritate me:
- the fact that Kokomo doesn't exist.
- people who tell you stories that you initially told them.
- when people go to expensive stores just to buy things such as garbage bags, pencils, and water.
- when people leave long messages on your voicemail, when they could just wait, tell you in person, and bore you then.
- people who like the Weather Channel a little too much.
- unnecessary statistics.
- the guy next to you at the urinal, who, when finished, acts like he's putting a hundred pound weight back into his pants.
- women who are in full hair and make-up but have sweats on.
- getting those Valupak coupons in the mail.
- the notion that Al Pacino gets louder and louder with every picture.
- people who will talk to any bathroom attendent for 30 minutes.
- people who have S.U.V.s but don't have children, play sports, or even travel.
- any long job title (i.e. Assistant to the Marketing Director of World Wide Distribution, Brazil.)
- any job title that masks a shi*ty job. (i.e. People looking to secure a job at Subway have to apply for a " Sandwich Artiste " position).
- how the community of the Politically Correct change terms on you every few months.
- Getting really choked up by Alpo commercials, especially the one where the dog gets older each time she climbs the stairs.
- when you ask people what kind of music they like and reply, "everything but country and New Age."
- when you talk to an actor, and you feel like you're the interviewer.
- people who capitalize words to give them POWER.

Rollins vs. Estrada (Part Deux)

I woke up this morning and I remembered I saw Erik Estrada there too. This made sense to me and I was excited to see him as Chips is one of my favorite tv shows ever. But Rollins is so self serious h...

Cobain vs. Townsend vs Rollins

Tonight at the afterparty for the premiere of Ratatouielle - which is a Disney/Pixar creation about a rat who apparently wants to be a chef - I found myself thinking about a particular Kurt Cobain qu...

Eastwood

I am very excited to say that I will be endorsing Eastwood Guitars. For those of you who don't know it yet, Eastwood produces sixties-inspired guitars (i.e. Airline, Mosrite, Vox ), with modern play...
