About Me

I sell chemicals and equipment for metal finishing by day. If you're in the market for a good aluminum deoxidizer, or perhaps a hydraulic filter press, I'm your man.

I like to rock, although my musical tastes are various and sundry. I understand how difficult it is to make it in the music biz. Support your local artists! I think MySpace is an excellent way for bands to network and get their music out there. Especially in the face of evil entities such as ClearChannel, whose power brokers have had their way for far too long dictating what to feed the plebeians.

Pyzam.com has the coolest Layouts for Myspace

"NO END IN SIGHT"

Every American must see this documentary film.  It's a very fair and no-bullshit look at what was really happening behind the scenes of the Bush administration when war was declared in 2003. ...
