What about me? Well, here goes: I am 33 years old. Did I think my life would be like this? Probably not. I currenty work as a Pizza Delivery Driver for Ballyoo Pizza King (the Tavern!). Before then I was a delivery and warehouse worker for Paige's Music in Indianapolis. I am a lead singer in ENTENSECITY. Was in the following bands: Flipside, Strange Brew, Red Headed StepChild, Fraternity Underground, Hail Caesar, Entensecity, Voodoo Lounge (Rolling Stones Tribute band from Indy),Entensecity, & Turmoil. Catch me live in ENTENSECITY sometime. I will post gigs on here FIRST!I am a proud parent of Identical Triplets.. Marc, Ian and Christopher (C.J). I am not married but still with the mother of my children. We just are waiting to get back on our feet again before we take that step! I am looking to do something with Music Business whether it be managing a band or working at a music store. Just as long as I am playing music on the weekend I dont really care. My kids are my inspiration. They are teaching me how to be patient and how to stick to my dreams. I really dont consider much of my life before them. I hope everybody feels the same way. Raising Triplets is hard but I am truly blessed in that I am able to go through this experience.Did I say I was in a band?? Oh well, I am proud of my band.... -the band ENTENSECITY. We are a Classic Hard Rock Cover band... what that means is we dont play normal standards ... we go deeper into playing material that doesnt get played in a bar too often. How many times do you want to hear Brown Eyed Girl for instance?? When have you ever heard Pink Floyd played (with a keyboard in the band??)?? Have you ever heard IRON MAIDEN played out?? We want to bring the fun back in playing out and put on a show that is as good as the music we cover. COME CHECK US OUT NEAR A CITY NEAR YOU... SEE POSTS ON HERE BY ME OR CHECK ON OUR OFFICIAL MYSPACE WEBSITE at Entensecity82!!! Other than that still here and still going strong. Thanks for taking the time to read!UPDATE.. ENTENSECITY is alive and well and doing good. I got to rock my work BALLY not once but twice and it looks like there may be a gig in the near future there again! Voodoo Lounge was DOA from the getgo but we still all talk & there may be a "reunion" show sometime soon depending on if we can ever get it going!AS IF THAT WASNT ENOUGH I AM ALSO currently playing Drums (yeah..you saw that drums!) in a local church band. Things are getting better for me. Work is going good, my family is safe and healthy and I am enjoying the new music my band is playing! I am blessed by God everyday! ------------------------------------------------ 2006 really wasn't bad year. Got a new house, Entensecity is taking off, Voodoo is going to play again, I am singing more this year than I have in the past.... BUT I lost a best friend this year to a divorce. I wish him well but I think he is needing to find himself. I hope no one has to go through this (but it is enevitable to some people). NO MATTER who you love, try to be the TRUE you... dont change for someone. You may live to regret it. THANKS FOR READING! PLEASE post your thoughts!OH YEH.. take this test. For those who do know me, it is so funny that I managed to be BATMAN since that is my favorite superhero. I even have a tatoo of him. FUNNY! myspace graphics & layouts Your results:

My Interests

My interests include playing with my band, listening to music, playing video games, playing music (Entensecity & Voodoo when it was together)& other rock bands, going to bars to watch bands play, going to concerts, watching football and basketball, and hanging out with my kids and best friends.

I'd like to meet:

Someone who really likes music and is into the styles I am into. AND just meet new people and start new friendships. AND as it seems RECONNECTING with friends and people I have met along the way of life! I just love how many people are on here that I havent seen or talked to in like forever!IF I HAD TO PICK FAMOUS... I would go with any member of AC/DC and KISS & Pink Floyd & Paul McCartney & Sting. I have met Gene Simmons in the past. Maybe Robert Plant or Ozzy.I would also like to meet YOU!

Music:

THIS IS A VERY HARD SUBJECT FOR ME... LETS START WITH THE TOP TEN BANDS of ALL TIME:1. AC/DC 2. KISS 3. MOTLEY CRUE 4. PINK FLOYD 5. GREAT WHITE 6. LED ZEPPELIN 7. OZZY 8. MEGADETH 9. STONE TEMPLE PILOTS 10. GUNS N ROSESMostly stuff from that category. Other artists I like include Sting, Paul McCartney, BEATLES, STONES, WHO, Metallica, Audioslave, Velvet Revolver, Green Day, Nickelback, The Doors, Anthrax, Coldplay, Black Sabbath, Godsmack, My Chemical Romance... and more to come. I AM SUCH A METALHEAD!!!CURRENTY LISTENING TO:MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE- THE BLACK PARADE! VELVET REVOLVER- LIBERTAD AIRBOURNE- RUNNIN WILD BON JOVI - LOST HIGHWAY AIRBOURNE - RUNNIN WILD RED - END OF SILENCE FOO FIGHTERS - ECHOES, SILENCE, PATIENCE & GRACE---------------------------------------------------AGAI N, more to come on this.......update for those that actually read this. JET- SHINE ON.. great second album from this band. THIS is the best follow up album to ABBEY ROAD that I have ever heard. Too bad John & Paul didnt play on this! GET IT!GO BUY THESE ALBUMS IF YOU HAVENT:RUNNIN WILD by AIRBOURNE. GREAT AC/DC sounding band but much more to prove. Just 4 members in this band. Every song sounds like it could easily be covered by AC/DC and put on any of there albums including Back in Black. At the end of it you are just sitting there going...NOW WHAT? Exactly... repeat!End of Silence by RED. Great band and got to see them live. The album blows me away. Even with the fact that they are a Christian band and my recent rediscovery of my faith... WOW!THE BLACK PARADE by MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE... There should be no reason why you dont own this. I have been talking about it ever since it came out. Great sound, great concept album reminds me of the WALL but more modern and it appreciates life.

Movies:

STAR WARS - BOTH TRILOGYS with Return of the Jedi being my all time favorite... Revenge of the Sith as next favorite INDIANA JONES TRILOGY ALL BATMAN Movies---- YES!! ALL BATMAN MOVIES!!!! The Crow The Blues Brothers Point Break Police Academy Movies Old School Wedding Crashers ANY BOND Movies Tomb Raider Revenge of the Nerds DIE HARD TRILOGY Bachelor Party PCUMore to come I am sure....

Television:

Favorite television shows would include: ONE TREE HILL on the WB (favorite... dont miss it)AND IT GOT PICKED UP FOR SEASON 6!!! MY LIFE IS COMPLETE!!! hehe... OCTOBER ROAD ..just like OTH and just as good! NFL.... I DONT CARE WHAT... JUST WATCHING FOOTBALL!!!!! GO COLTS, COWBOYS & PATRIOTS!!! (yeah..that is no typo)) Gilmore Girls on wb (no longer...) American Idol Rock Star "INXS" when it was on CSI the original and New York on occasion ER How I Met Your Mother Family Guy October Road The Young & The Restless (OK, you got me there)OLD SCHOOL TV: Dukes of Hazzard Batman animated series GI JOE cartoons THE A-TEAMJust a big fan of One Tree Hill. THANK GOD IT IS BACK FOR SEASON 5!!!

Books:

Not much of a book reader except for the following books.Any Star Wars books. Favorite one is Shadows of the Empire AND I LOVE HARRY POTTER BOOKS!!!Motley Crue The Dirt Gene Simmons SEX MONEY KISS (my personal favorite) KISS Behind the Mask Pink Floyd Saucerful of Secrets the Pink Floyd Oddessy Batman Knightfall Batman No Mans Land Mostly books about musicians and Batman and Star Wars books. AND I AM GETTING READY TO READ THE GREATEST BOOK OF ALL TIME... "THE BIBLE"

Heroes:

WHO ARE MY HEROES??Well, I already told you in my music interests. BASICALLY ANYBODY from the top ten bands.AS FOR LOCAL people, they would have to be the following people: Professor Dave Parman from Vincennes who believed in me and was a true friend and mentor Professor Jim Slutz who did see potential in me and knew that I had a tremendous knowlege of music business. Allison, my fiance and mother of my children... someone who works to make things work. She has been a big part of my life. I don't think I will ever find someone who is understanding of what I do musically. She lets me be myself and has the same passion for music that I do!My good friends Ronny & Angie who are going to be married soon. I am so proud of you both. You both have endured through trials and tribulations separatly but I was always in it with you guys. I am just greatful that you guys now have each other!ANY MUSICIAN that I have ever played with in previous bands. Some of you are on this site. Thanks for giving me the opportunity of fullfilling a dream of being a musician. My dedication and passion goes out to you. THANK YOU!Hopefully this list will grow....--------------------------------------------------
