You are what you do when it counts

About Me

I'm 33 years old and I play drums. I have been playing for over twenty years and I am constantly learning something new. I have been blessed many times over in my life because I have had the honor to play with some of the best at what they do and to play in some amazing places. It is a hard and emotionally draining life to be a musician and more often than not a very poor existence as well. Playing music does not pay the bills for me, in fact it costs me quite a bit, but it is one of the things that keeps my heart beating and my mind challenged and happy. The few constants I have in this world are my wife, my friends, and my music. I wouldn't be who I am today if it were not for them. They keep me strong and alive and keep my days interesting. .. ..

My Interests

My Wife, My Music, Archery, Reading , and X-Box Live (gamertag Felix117). In that order. Oh yeah, I don't mind sex too much either.

I'd like to meet:

Anyone that still has faith in Rock and Roll. It ain't dead it's just sleeping, and when it wakes up it's gonna be pissed.

Music:

Metal ( not new metal, what happened? I mean.....for real guys, what happened?), Stoner Rock (I know the label sucks but the music is bullet-proof), Indie Rock/Altrernative (talk about a label sucking. what ever happened to just calling something rock and roll?), Anything that isn't new country (I'm sorry Shania, you may be hot as the hinges of hell but you sure as shit ain't country.) Desert Sessions (Kyuss, QOTSA)
