I am here for Friends

About Me

I am an owner of an advertising agency as well as the founder of the death metal band INTERNAL BLEEDING. I left the band for a little while, but now I am back. I missed my metal head brothers and sisters too much to stay away from the music I love. I absolutely live for muscle cars (own a 1968 Plymouth Barracuda), death metal, cooking, poetry and politics.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

I’d love to meet metal heads, graphic design mavens, writers, right-wingers, muscle car freaks, and hot rodders.

We must do something about it.

In the political left we find a whole class of supposedly 'thinking people' who do remarkably little thinking about substance and a great deal of verbal expression. In order that this relatively small...

The Winter of My Discontent

When a secretary of defense gets confirmed 95-2 apparently because he says we are not winning a war, you know Uncle Sam must have a sign on his back that says "kick me."We've come a long way from that...
