A BIT ABOUT ME
On a personal note...I love my wife, I like dogs, I love autumn, I am happy, I miss NY, I am a guitarist..that is my passion...producing is what I do because I am good at it, I think all politicians are liars, I despise organized religions and believe the world would be WAY better off without them, I wish everyone would mind their own business and get a life of their own instead of trying to change the world to believe what they believe, I love being near the ocean. Make me laugh, don't take yourself serious, no drama, enjoy life, quit your whining, and we can be friends.
