About Me

Myspace Layouts at Pimp-My-Profile.com / Red plaid

Im a shorts and T-shirt kind of guy. If I have to have a collar to get into a club you wont find me there, beer and live music is more my style. I drive fast, people who cant drive make want to pull my hair out. I dig thunderstorms and chocolate. Im a total pussy when it comes to bugs and rodents. I prefer my beer in a bottle and I have a fetish for girls in glasses.

skateboarding, water skiing, snow skiing, snowboarding, music, movies and reading.

Just getting turned on to rockabilly/psycobilly, the music is killer and the women are fucking badass!!!Dont own a lot but some stuff I have been turned onto include, Big Sandy and the Fly Rite Boys, Carlos and the Banditos, Hillbilly Hellcats, Nekromantix. Gettin my blues on as well these days, BB King, Muddy Waters, Hound Dog Taylor, Albert King, Albert Collins, Son Seals, Otis Rush, Magic Sam, Buddy Guy. Maybe its my age but I have been going back with some good old Hair Metal from the 80's. Motley Crue, Ratt, Krokus, Dio you know the stuff you dont want to admit you used to listen to. Also stepping into the 90's with some Chili Peppers....nothing after Blood/Sugar/Sex/Magik cause I think it blows after that, Inspiral Carpets, Neds Atomic Dustbin,EMF, Jesus Jones....you get the idea like stuff you might hear around 91

Movies:

Bad 80's horror,good horror, old movies with Cary Grant, Bogart. Mystery and suspense stuff.

Books:

After refusing to vacation in Florida for most of my life I took a trip there a few years ago and now have a love for south Florida. Since then I have taken to reading books by Carl Hiaasen, Randy Wayne White, John D. MacDonald. These books and the characters in them only fuel the fire. I found a book once called Stolen Away, by Max Allen Collins which was a fictional story based on the real events of the Lindbergh Kidnapping. Collins is great at writing historical fiction and leads you to think that what he wrote could really have happend. Since that one book I have read others and since a lot of then seem to come back to the Mob and its history in Chicago I think they are great since I spent the first 39 years of my life in that area. I dig any Mob fiction with ties to Chicago and Hollywood.Crime novels based in the 30-40's in Hollywood. Any crime/mystery type stuff that doesnt have to do with lawyer types that was made popular by John Grisham.
