System Of A Take Down

I am here for Friends

About Me

The newest facet in my life is Roller Derby! I am in the Dominion Derby Girls league in Virginia Beach, Va. I tore the PCL ligament in BOTH of my legs, 3 months into my career and now I am benched for a while, which SUCKS! I worship the band System Of A Down! I have met Serj, Shavo & John a few times, but not Daron. They have crushed my spirit and decided to go on "hiatus!!!" I was fortunate enough to see them TEN TIMES before the split, but I can't believe there is nothing to look forward to. I have been married since 1990 and have three not so little boys. Two of which are taller than me! I have a pretty cool job as the manager of Spencer's in Chesapeake Square Mall. I get to wear what I want, listen to cool music and meet a lot of new people. I have been known to bake stuff! I do cakes in 3D and big cookies, that sort of thing. I collect 'The Sandman' comics (by Neil Gaiman) and all of the accompanying statuary, etc. I also have a nice little stash of Alice In Wonderland 'stuff.' I am a pretty easy going person, almost a push-over. I am liberal minded, passive-aggressive, vegetarian, and a champion for the 'underdog.' I like to be goofy and have a good time!Here are some slide shows featuring some of the times I've seen System Of A Down!!! ^HOLY SHIT Everyone!!! I can't believe my luck sometimes!!! (knocks on wood a bunch of times!) We just went to see Ministry & Revolting Cocks @ The Norva (Norfolk, Va) and I was standing there during REVCO jamming my ass off, when this guy approaches me, hands me a "dancer pass" and asks if I want to dance on stage during the next song!!!! "FUCK YEAH" I say to the guy!!! So, I am looking all around for Todd and I don't see him behind me any more! I ask some random girl in the audience to take pictures of me while I am ON STAGE WITH REVOLTING COCKS!!! AHHHHHHHH!!!!! I was bumping & grinding every character on that stage ...including ALIEN JOURGENSON HIMSELF!!!!!!! AHHHHHHHH! OMG!!!!! I couldn't believe it!! A guy in a penis costume threw me over his shoulder!!!! AHHHHHHAHHHHHHAHAHAAA!!!!!! I was frantically looking around the audience for Todd!! Turns out he was outside talking about philosophy with some guys, one of whom is dying of cancer!!! I am on stage having the experience of a lifetime, and he was outside!!! (Albeit having a swell time of his own)......Man, I am so grateful for my life!!!!!! Damn!!! That was soooo fucking cool!!!Get Your Own! | View Slideshow Get Your Own! | View Slideshow

My Interests

This is my kids. They are producing a film called Project Awesomeness. Project Awesomeness Part VIIIProject Awesomeness Part I Project Awesomeness Part II This video is of our bout w/ the Femme Fatales. You can see me ONE time, I have on the brown tights and I go zipping through on the inside. It only lasts a second, so pay attention!! I come on right after the injuries. http://www.hamptonroads.tv/index.cfm?locvid=131284

I'd like to meet:

Daron Malakian. He is the only member of SOAD I haven't met yet.

Music:


I like harder sounds. I'm very audio stimulated. My ultimate favorite band is System Of A Down. I have never been effected by a band the way they affect me, both mentally and physically. I was a 'Regulator' at the EatUrMusic Forum, which was the label of Daron Malakian. Through my obsession with SOAD, I was introduced to the band Bad Acid Trip. A bunch of crazy guys with a crazy sound. It's hard to describe their flavor. Almost a Marduk meets a meat grinder kind of thing! lolI also am partial to the band Satyricon. They are in the Black Metal genre'. They are quite versatile and every album has a new, yet distinct sound. Their most recent album Now Diabolical, has a sound that is more 'commercially acceptible' than their others.I've met a TON of bands here on myspace and have added several as friends. I have always been supportive of bands on the rise. Give some of my friends a listen! I don't think you'll be disappointed!

Movies:

Screamers Official Movie Trailer

I prefer the 'Horror' genre.' I also like the old 'cult' classics. I usually only buy movies that are timeless that can be watched over and over for all eternity and not get sick of them. Some of my faves are Blue Velvet, Clockwork Orange, Pink Floyd's The Wall, Repo-Man, Gift by Perry Ferrell, the original Planet Of The Apes, The Mystery Men & a bunch of others. Scary movies I love are Natural Born Killers (not exactly scary...but), the Exorcist, Exorcist III, Hellraiser & Freddy has always given me 'nightmares!'

Television:

METALOCALYPSE is the best show to ever be on TV!!!! It's brutally funny. I may get their logo tattooed on my ASS!!! (not really on my ass, but I Am considering the tatt) I think the next best show is going to be "Are You Smarter Than A Fifth Grader?" ...talk about feeling stupid!! I can pass IQ tests with superior scores, but I had no idea which month Columbus Day was in!! I also get excited about Survivor still, even though it's hardly surviving. I also like to laugh at the dumb fucks on 'reality' tv.

Books:

I can't get into books! I usually fall asleep when I read. Maybe I need glasses! I like comic books. I collected The Sandman during it's original run. I have the complete series. I continued with The Dreaming, but it didn't continue for me! I used to like Shade The Changing Man. I stole his name (Shade) for one of my kids! I never did the 'super hero' thing. I collected The New Mutants for a while, but a fire put an end to that collection and I never went back. I read Diet For A New America by John Robbins and became a vegetarian afterwards!! That was in 2001 on Thanksgiving!! Hell of a day to go 'veg' eh? I read Cool Gardens by Serj Tankian, but that's poetry so it doesn't really count as reading a book!
