Evian Brownie Headbangers Kick Asses!

About Me

I love snowboarding, playing guitar in DEAD REPLICAS and FRIENDS OF DAVE (also previously played in TAT), going to gigs, hanging out with my friends, going to NYC and Long Beach and trying to abide, just like The Dude (but don't pee on MY f**kin rug)! Nuff said.I love milk. I hate ignorant, inconsiderate people. I'll eat virtually anything if you put BBQ sauce on it.Biggest fear: talking in public. Worst pet peeve: people eating/chewing with their gobs open (totally makes my skin crawl) Scariest moment: making it down Snake Ridge in Fernie, BC. Thought I was a gonna! Best memory: looking out the window the whole flight from NYC to Long Beach Most made up memory: pushing my sister down the stairs, aged 5. I swear it happened, but apparently not.I possess a very sweet tooth so may be lured out of hiding with sweets and cakes. I do have a savoury side though...Fave quote: "Genetically, paedophiles have more genes in common with crabs than they do with you and me. Now that is scientific fact. There's no real "evidence" for it but it is scientific fact." God bless you Dr Fox you dimwitted prick.I hate football. If you google search my (real) name you find out about all the evil things that Quorn does to me.Someone once said I had 'jailhouse tattoos'. I kinda like that. Oh, and I once did the running man at the Jazz Cafe. Onstage. Dressed in a cow suit.

Snowboarding, Underground Hiphop, rockin' out on guitar, Wes Anderson films, tattoos, drinking, eating, sleeping, breathing, Friends of Dave, travelling, New York, LA, Snow Bunnies in Chanel ski suits, doings things with my hands, being a nerd, avoiding the issue, wasting time at work, itunes, avoiding avalanches, winning competitions, spoiling my girl rotten

Rock Star Supernova

Lukas Rossi?!?!  What the hell were they thinking?!?  An ego in a front man is important, but when they're that arrogant it's really off-putting.  Tommy: "We've got to listen to the fan...

Down like a frown...

...but not very brown.  Yup, even after a few days in the sun I'm really disappointed with how little I've tanned.  Ok, so I know it's bad for your skin, blah, blah, blah, but I wanna frikki...
