Life's too short. Play hard, and FOCUS on the task @ hand!!!!

About Me


The name Moonie is taken from a Lebanese word my mom called me as a kid. (That's more of an explanation than MOST people have ever gotten!!) I don't think anyone in my family has called me anything else since. You can call me Ray, Moonie, or Solly. It's all good. I'm a brutally honest, loyal, hard-working, educated, former pro athlete who's had the music bug ever since the age of 6 or 7. First it was the drums. After a few years of banging away, I switched to the guitar. For the last 10+ years, it's been all about the bass. Now that my days of trying to succeed as a relief pitcher are behind me, the ONLY focus is my music. I plan on using the tenacity, self-confidence, and people skills that I developed as an elite athlete to pursue this next goal. Below this text are banners from the 2 bands that won't let me sleep at night. lol Feel free to click on the banners and have a listen. I'm not in the habit of adding strangers, so I MAY direct your friend requests to either, or both bands. Don't take it personally, I'm on Myspace to network. Thanx for taking the time to read this. Hope you enjoy the music!! Cheers.

My Interests

Performance--I appreciate and will watch, anyone who's taken the time to master their craft. Whether it be art, dance, theater, music, sports, etc. I love it!!
Music, Family/Friends, Me Time, Working Out, Good Conversation, Women, Sports, Tattoos, Road Trips/Concerts, Politics, Art, Record Shows(VINYL!!), and the "odd" rye and ginger. (Can't forget effin' Myspace!!)

I'd like to meet:

People who support indie bands/music (especially My Terminal Ritual and Dronefly), fellow musicians/artists, industry folks, old friends, Don Cherry, Rick Rubin, Geddy, Lemmy, Rollins, and anyone who'd rather be ATF'n @ this very moment.

Music:

Anything and everything. Every form of music has something to offer. I prefer old-school thrash/metal/hard rock, but Sade's never too far from the stereo. Middle Eastern music is amazing. (It also keeps me mindful of my roots.) Guilty Pleasure = Female Vocalists who can ACTUALLY sing!! (There's just so much more melody in a female voice.)

Movies:

Comedy, Docs/Bios, Horror, Music, Sports, Drama.

Television:

NOT MUCH. Hockey/Baseball/Football/Basketball/Soccer games, NASCAR, News/Weather/Speed Channel, Trailer Park Boys, Ali G, Seinfeld, Family Guy, South Park, Conan, Music Vids, Sports Highlights.

Books:

Non-Fiction (My imagination hasn't let me down yet!!), True Crime, Bios, My old Crim/Soc/Psych Textbooks.

Heroes:

BE YOUR OWN DAMN HERO!!
Maybe it'll inspire someone to make their own life better. Who knows...that may just make this world a better place.

My Blog

LONG TIME...NO DOUBT!!!

So...I hope everyone is well. What can I say other than it's been over 3 months since I logged onto my profile. Lately, I've been on the MTR page, as well as the Dronefly (Living In Armor) page, BUT I...
