About Me

I play bass for San Francisco's Angry Amputees, a punk rock wedding band called the Angry Pirates which is comprised of a bunch of different band members from various local acts around the Bay Area who play punk rock covers of 80's tunes at each other's weddings, I got a new band called New Hope For The Dead! out of Oakland, and a solo project called Mare Adriatica which exists in my head more then it does in reality. Oh well, at least I can still enjoy it.
I write a lot of stuff for no one in particular. Namely tour and travel journals that never seem to get finished, and then there's a shitload of story outlines, one-sentence story synopsis', random political emotional ranting, and goofy names for bands that will never exist. Oh yeah, I LOVE Hockey but I don't know anyone else that does so I end up alone watching the shit, then people walk into the room and say things like, "Can we change this, it's boring." "FUCK YOU!", I say, "YOU'RE BORING!!!" It's moments like this where I wish I had a hockey stick so I could beat them all to hell with it and then yell, "GOOOAAAAALLLL!!!!!"
Hollywood should produce these kinds of movies:
A man awakens with such bad gas that he kills his cat, dog, family, fish, plants, garden, the postman, neighbors, everyone in the school bus, birds in the sky, and finally, everyone in town.
A community of fleas living on a dog decide to become vegetarian after the dog saves all of their lives, then they starve to death.
Gina, a Ramones-fanatic, is constipated for a week straight and can't poo to Rocket to Russia, so she tries listening to Road to Ruin. She ends up barfing up poo because of a intestinal blockage.
A racehorse named Graves hates running because of asthma.
An invisible man becomes the hairiest man on earth but no one cares until someone trips on his beard. Then they still don't know what happened.
A female weekend reporter for the the local news outlet reports a story on the rise of domestic abuse in the community. She goes home and her husband beats her up because she forgot to pick up the groceries.
A man is cursed with a tortuous crush on every woman he meets that talks to him. One day, he gets lucky and ends up going home with a woman. Afterwards, she eats him.
A homeless man living in a park repeatedly serenades a woman in an billboard ad with his guitar every night and dreams of her when he sleeps. She makes him the happiest he's ever been in his life.
During the Cold War era, a young Russian anarchist is enlisted to the Russian Navy and placed on a nuclear submarine. He revolts by creating a massive pipe bomb made from his own feces and then holds the entire boat hostage.
