No, I want to take you to three kung-fu movies.

About Me

I edited my profile with Thomas Myspace Editor V4.4 (www.strikefile.com/myspace)
Gypsies snatched me from my mothers womb and sold me to a kind couple who raised me well. But I could not stay long. Kerouac's ghost urged me on and I began hitching my way west. In Seattle, I found myself at peace. Media is king, music, movies, books, magazines, cram it down my throat. I have a fine apreciation for D.I.Y. and indie material especially. A few years were spent pursuing music, a few more drifting, bringing me to the present.



My Interests

Music... mostly I like the edgy punk stuff live, but otherwise I appreciate a wide variety of sounds which changes frequently. A good conversation's allways welcome. I love movies and hate television. Computer geekery, with a small amount of vidiot love (damn games are addictive). Cold Beer. Cruising around on a bicycle, nothings more fun than a good beer cruising bike. I'm a pretty laid back guy, just thankfull to have some time on this rock.

I'd like to meet:

Everyone

The lion’s roar, is more pleasing than I had expected.

I've been searching for something heavy to listen to as of late. The problem is lyrics, honestly they suck. I don't know why, but generally, with new releases the heavier the music the worse the lyr...
