All Comedy, No Drama

About Me

I'm here for the bands, the comedians, the fighters, Hip Hop heads and wrestling fans. And the girls. Definitely the girls.

My Interests

I'm a very boring person.

I'd like to meet:

You

Hip Hop such as Atmosphere, Brother Ali, Eyedea & Abilities (and pretty much everything else on the Rhymesayers label), Ugly Duckling, Mos Def, old school (Public Enemy, KRS-One, Ice T, EPMD, Stetsasonic, 3rd Bass, Grandmaster Flash); Rock like The Kinks, Talking Heads, Motorhead, Sheryl Crow, Strawman (an indie out of DC); Jazz as in Branford Marsalis, Gil-Scott Heron; Funk ala P-Funk, War; Reggae akin to Barrington Levy, Super Cat, Ninjaman, Cocoa Tea, Burro Banton
