Rock til Death!!!!!!!!

About Me

An old guy that breathes Cleveland Browns out one lung and Rock and Roll out the other!!! I'm 50 and damn proud of it!!!

My Interests

I love to ROCK!!!! I'm also a huge Cleveland Browns fan. I'm sort-of in the middle politically, which means that everyone will disagree with me. Main interests are music, sports, movies, and the guitar. I also umpire fastpitch softball, and I officiate basketball and volleyball. If a coach bitches about something, I handle it the same way I handle my kids when they bitch. I just ignore it.

I'd like to meet:


ROCK BANDS!!!! Especially those from Kansas City and surrounding areas. However, I'll happily friend any band if I like your stuff.

I also want to meet individuals who dig rock and roll as much as I do. However, I use MYSPACE mostly as a vehicle to get to know bands and hear their music. I will deny your friend request if:

You are under the age of 18 and I don't know you

You have nothing in common with me, and it's obvious that you're just trying to raise your friends count

You express interest in meeting me, and I don't know you. MYSPACE should NOT be used for that purpose by ANYONE!!!!

You are trying to recruit me for some get-rich-quick scheme.

If your page is playing rap, hip hop, boyband junk, pop diva crap, or any other garbage I can't stand, I won't necessarily deny your friendship. However, it will serve as a tiebreaker if I'm on the fence about it.

Oh yeah, I almost forgot. If your friend invitation even SLIGHTLY shows hints of a pornographic page, I won't even open it. I'll just check the box, hit DENY, and move on. Trust me, if I wanted pornography, I wouldn't be looking for it in MYSPACE.

But, if you are into music, sports, movies, etc, and none of the above describes you, then you'll get all the love I can muster.

Message of the day - Go visit votefortheworst.com. It absolutely KICKS BALLS!!

Advice of the day - Never let your ego surpass your talent.

Now playing - That Ain't All, by It's Over, one of the greatest bands not only in Kansas City, but on the face of this earth!!
..

Music:

Pretty much anything goes except for hip hop, boy bands, and pop divas. Favorite genres are pop punk, power pop, indie rock, country rock. But, I love all forms of rock and roll, except pop drek like Maroon 5. Favorite bands include Green Day, Jimmy Eat World, Allister, National Fire Theory, Bowling for Soup, and pretty much all bands of that genre. Second favorite genre is the crooning ballad genre, such as Tony Bennett and Clay Aiken. That's right, Clay Aiken!! And if you have a problem with that, you can go kiss it where the sun doesn't shine.

Movies:

I think the Academy Awards are bullshit. None of the movies I like ever get nominated. In fact, they don't even have award categories for the shit I like. Favorite genres are horror, slasher, and comedy. The more the critics trash a movie, the more I usually like it. I am a BIG fan of "B" movies. So, I guess movies work for me very much in the same manner as music - the more mainstream it gets, the less I like it, with a few exceptions (Star Wars for example).

Television:

I'm a little different with TV than I am with movies. I watch a lot of medical and crime dramas. I also like sitcoms. I wish they'd bring the variety show back.

Books:

Clay Aiken, Learning to Sing

Mad Magazine

Heroes:

My Mom and Dad (rest in peace), My wife, Jesus, Rock bands (and I mean ROCK bands), The Cleveland Browns.
