I have this profile to stay in touch with friends of mine, to (sometimes...rarely) find people that are new and interesting, to laugh at ex-girlfriends, to keep up with bands that I enjoy; and also the fans of the ones I've been/I am involved with.
I was the guitarist/singer/brain behind SexConsciousYoungModerns, that loud, noisy, obnoxious band that you never heard of.
My new project is called The Resurrection Men. I'm seriously planning on getting off my ass and doing something with it. I miss playing rock and roll.
More details as they become available.

I despise almost every remake Ive ever seen. Needless to say, the movies listed here are the Originals, unless noted otherwise...and I truly hate those American Pie-type insults to human intelligence.
