About Me

fantasy layout powered by HOT FreeLayouts.com / MyHotComments This is a page for my own personal music that I made messing around in my studio. If you like it, be my friend. If you want a copy of my album, from which some tracks have been uploaded here, message me your name and address and I'll send you one.
My name is John. I'm 30 and live in Saint Charles, MO. My hometown is Ironton, MO. I love music, playing guitar and my awesome 3yr old son Liam. He's the cutest niftiest kid ever. Watching him grow up is an honor and the highlight of my life; I live for the weekends.
I work at Pizza Hut in O'Fallon as a deliverator. I am a Finance major at Lindenwood University. I'm pretty damn boring and my life is more or less uneventful, but I used to be a rockstar.
I play Fender musical instruments and amplifiers and nothing else.
Favorite movies: Lord of the Rings, Deep Impact, The Day After Tomorrow, Stargate, anything from Pixar, more as I think of them.
Favorite TV shows: I don't watch tv, but I own a shitload of tv on dvd. Favorite at the moment is Stargate SG-1, also Supernatural, Dexter, La Femme Nikita, Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel, Metalocalypse, 24, Shin Chan, Assy McGee, Sledgehammer.
My list of one-man-army badasses, suggest more for me if you think of any:
In no particular order:
John Rambo
Ash Williams
Jack Bauer
John Preston
Michael Samuelle
Sledge Hammer
John McClane

Ready to live in a socialist nation?

I found this article on yahoo finance, and it represents an unprecedented change in the way our government is involved in commercial/consumer finance. Now the U.S. government will have a controlling i...

toddlers and soda

I usually am equipped with a bottle of diet mountain dew when I am anywhere, and such it is that I usually have one when I go see my son at Kristin's place. He watches me drink it and tends to toddle ...
