About Me


If your Myspace profile plays a bunch of fucking songs, videos, and/or I can't fucking READ it because your layout is so crazy...don't even bother adding me. I'm sick of my computer crashing because of retarded profiles on this site.
You can always find out what I'm up to over at (my often highly offensive blog): http://popbitch.livejournal.com/
*Mama Shiv put those big-ass 1970's headphones on her tummy when she was pregnant with me and look what happened. She created a monster!!! My passion for music fights for the small amount of free space in my brain with my passion for movies. Somehow they meet in the middle and my life is an explosion of all things pop culture.
*I have my dream job as the Music Director @ woxy.com --------- truly alternative and independent internet radio. I can't imagine doing anything else with my life, even if it means living in a red state. I get to expose a captive audience to my favorite music every day and get paid for it. Plus, I get to meet my favorite musicians and get a lot of free shit. I'm a lucky, lucky man.
*I couldn't live without my subscription to Entertainment Weekly, my HDTV, and my region-free dvd player.
*My dvd collection is approaching 2000 and there are at least 4,000 cd's in my apartment. I can't even count all the vinyl, but I've started thinning the herd a little bit because I am running out of room in the archives.
*I can barely balance my checkbook, but I can remember all the words to bad 80's songs when the videos come on to VH-1 Classic. The fact that I still know the lyrics to Martika's "Toy Soldiers" frightens me.
I rarely use this piece of shit website anymore. Mostly you can find me on facebook (at least until that is usurped by another, cooler site) and livejournal...
