MUSIC (live and loud!!!), experimental/research psychology, serial offenders, forensics...you know, the kind of stuff that you can't understand why no one else would be as interested in it as you are but the kind of stuff that makes most people go "eew..um..okay". Tattoos, holes with metal and wood put in them..wait...well, you know what I mean...Also, reading, crocheting and other crafty type shit, cooking, eating, and drinking well! I always want to try something I've never done before....and generally rawkin' out!!
I'd like to meet:
Anyone who refuses to let themselves "settle down"...who says because your body may age that YOU have to? I hope to still be going to shows/concerts when I'm 50, 60, 70 whatever! Seems so cliche but I truly feel that you don't have to grow old unless you want to. Basically, I want to meet anyone who's passionate about music, art, and living a fulfilling and extremely satisfying life!!!
GOTTA LOVE VAMPI!!
IN MEMORIAM...
GO COWBOYS!!!
ALL HAIL THE WITCH!!! DIXIE THAT IS!
THE MIGHTY MESCALERO!!
THAT'S RIGHT, TIME TO WORSHIP...yeahh...uhhh!
PRIESTESS!!!
Music:
First and foremost, I am a metalhead. However, my lifetime love of all great music has led to the development of a wide and varied, almost schizophrenic taste. It might be easier to state them in chronological or alphabetical order, but where's the fun in that!?! Sabbath, APC, Tool, Ben Harper, The Allman Brothers, Gov't Mule, John Lee Hooker, Muddy Waters, Robert Johnson, Django Reinhart, King's X, Radiohead, Ben Harper, SOAD, Soundgarden, Alice In Chains, Mark Lanegan, Zeppelin, Porcupine Tree, Explosions in the Sky, Pantera, King Diamond, Mercyful Fate, Megadeth, Dragonforce, Sepultura, Soulfly, The The, DM, Indochine, Ministry, Skinny Puppy, Pigface, RevCo, Voivod, Bauhaus, Tones on Tail, Cocteau Twins, Sisters of Mercy, X, Dead Kennedys, The Sword, Seemless, Priestess, Cellador, Mastodon, Sasquatch, Clutch, Bad Brains, Misfits, Queensryche, old Metallica...reaaalll old! man, are we really supposed to list everything we love or listen to? I suppose I could sit and copy a list from all the cd's I own but that would be a bit contrived, no? ;o)
Now on to local/independent stuff: the now defunct/defunked?: 420, Mushroom Groovy, Brutal Juice, ISD, Dopehouse, SGLF, Course of Empire (still choke up about that one), now: Shaolin Death Squad, Mescalero, Dixie Witch, Down for Five, Doomsday Junky, Congress of a Crow, Crooked X, My Dead X, Rook,. Of course, this list is ALWAYS growing and it's not all inclusive but you get the idea!...when it stops, it must be 'cause I'm dead!!!

BUT still...Food Network (nearly always on), anything CSI, Law & Order: SVU and Criminal Intent, Criminal Minds, Family Guy, The Office (both brit and Americanized versions), My Name is Earl, ER, Boston Legal, A&E's City Confidential, Forensic Files (okay, I'm a murder geek, so what!), Austin City Limits...I have decided to NOT take on any new shows..oh wait, except for METALOCALPYSE!!!
Books:
Jonathan Livingston Seagull, A Bridge Across Forever, One, the Dune Chronicles, Illusions of a Reluctant Messiah, L'etranger, The Dirt (the best debauchery how-to!), The Prophet, Brave New World,...again, you get the idea!!
Heroes:
Anyone...ANYONE...who NEVER gives up on their dreams and their loves and is able to learn something and love something new every day of their lives!!! Musicians...particularly guitar players...music lovers....oh, and Stewie..
