All I want is all I can get.

About Me

I can go from being quiet and calm one second to crazy and out of control the next. I rock. I drink. I really don't know what else to say. You'll have to form your own opinion I guess. I'm in a few bands:

The Ray Gradys

Punk Rock Karaoke

Drummer and lead singer for The Smith System.

Drummer and singer for the legendary "punk rock powerhouse" The YakBuckets (will we ever rock again?).

My Interests

Music. Drinking. Having fun. Various other things that I don't feel like trying to explain.

I'd like to meet:

People in the Philly area that want to join in my drunken exploits and have some fun. Anyone that can keep up with me. Drop me a line ... I'm always up for some excitement. aim = KrazyKatLouUncle Jemima
