About Me

Some may wonder what I am doing by staying in China so long and that is it worth it for me...Well, first of all, teaching is a wonderful job. It isn't the best job in the world for some however, for me it is perfectly suited.I get to help others with language. These people are trying to learn something and to achieve some goal i.e. go study abroad, take an exam, improve their business etc etc. so this is a position I feel is useful and productive to society. Instead of being in an office behind a computer all day. Which I did for 8 years. I hate office jobs.Without music life is worthless...I live for music. To play on stage, to go to practice, to record a CD, to make a video, to practice in my home for hours and create some passionate metal that expresses the dark recesses of my tormented soul.balancing life between work and music has always been a difficult task but, well worth doing it. Without one or the other neither would flourish.You can catch us around Beijing sometimes. Check out our website.. http://mob.rockinchina.com

My Interests

Guitar, astronomy, fishing, bike riding, computers, Horror films and books.

I'd like to meet:

people around china who are cool, calm, collective and artistic.

Music:

Metal only!! for those who don't like it then I believe it means you don't understand it. this type of music takes a large amount of skill, energy and passion to play. It is not just a bunch of noise.Metal reflects the dark side of life and deals with facts such as war, famine, etc etc. things that most people would rather not look at.instead they'd rather take a look at rosey flowers, sunny skies and puppy dogs. Well sorry!! Life isn't just like that.Pop music sucks donkey balls.

Movies:

My favorite movie of all time is "the good, the bad and the ugly". Runner ups are, scarface, the outlaw josey wales, trading places, the legend of the drunken master, enter the dragon and many more.

Television:

Xfiles, south park, simpsons and the NBA

Books:

The Vampire Chronicles, Clive Barker novels.

Heroes:

any person who conquers their inner demons. Tank man(1989)
