Monte has many interests. Some of those include studying birds of prey. Meeting girls who can skank. Looking at cities from airplane windows. Getting lost in a movie. Trying to get up early for coffee on cold rainy days. Tempting fate. Baby sitting my friend Paul Volpe. New bands. Irish whiskey's. Drinking Irish whiskey's. Smokey, tire melting burnouts. Tuna fishing. Becoming a better man. Knee tumors. Justin Timberlake concerts. Getting new scars. 8 minute abs.
I'd like to meet:
Anyone, and everyone.You never know when you will meet someone who can inpact or change your life. Nascar legend Rusty Wallace, Spaceghost, and Billie Joe Armstrong...... and my Grandpa's for one more day, James Dean, or William Randolph Hearst. I would love to go to a biker bar and party with Dave Grohl for a night. And now that I think about it, I've always had a thing for Natalie Wood. JFK. I'd love to have a beer with him. Gary Busey....That might be fun.... and of course one word, "Sweetness". Walter Payton. Maybe the best person to ever walk the face of the Earth, taken away way far too soon.
Music:
Let me know what interests you, and what you like from my list. I'd love to hear.
This is the soundtrack to my life. The backround to the action scenes.... the love scenes, and the filler of whats inbetween, day in and day out.

Rusty Wallace because he always thought he was the best no matter what odds he had stacked against him. My Grandfather, who did the unthinkable and went overseas to fight in WWII.( I still feel guilty for never having to fight like he and so many others did); And just about everyrockstar out there who has ever trashed a hotel room, driven a car into a pool, od'd on something,pissed themselves on stageand said "fuck you" to the man.
