My name's Zakk. Yes, I took the name from Zakk Wylde. But my first name is Zachary and his birth name is Jeffrey, I think I have more rights to the name than he does. :P
Anyhoo, I live in the grim and frostbitten land of Maine, United States. Up here the winters are brutal, and when it gets so cold that Hell itself freezes over, we'll be up here in our flannel pajamas yelling to the rest of the country, 'Cold enough for ya?!'
I'm a sensible guy. I like thinking, but I also like to keep things simple. I'm like a sponge for information; if it's something that interests me, I'm quick to pick it up. That's a double-edged sword, unfortunately, considering that I have difficulty absorbing information that I have no interest in. If I do, however, pick up a piece of info about something that doesn't interest me, chances are I'll forget it as quickly as I picked it up.
I'd like to say that my taste of music is defined, but still growing. I'm partial to the genres of Progressive Rock and Progressive Metal, but I try to give things a chance, so I'm pretty much open to anything, as long as I think it's good.
Not only is my taste in music growing, but my collection is, as well. At the moment, I can safely say I have over 1,000 total recordings spanning CDs, Cassettes, and Vinyl that I have in my collection. All this in a little over four years' time. One of my goals is to someday have an entire room that is wall-to-wall with records and CDs. Long after CDs have become obsolete and the mp3 age has fully kicked in, I will have amassed a couple thousand of each; records, cassettes, and CDs.
Collecting is a big hobby of mine, specifically old record. However, I do have a passion for anything 30 years old or older. I'm fortunate to say I have three vintage band posters; two are 1970 Chicago posters, and one is a 1977 Styx poster. I also hope to acquire more vintage posters in the future.
So, if you have a question, comment, complaint, or whatever, just send a message. I'm pretty cool. At least, I think so.
