About Me

I am the Phoenix...and I recently move into a really cool apartment in Downtown Phoenix. It's got a great area where we can have a BBQ and play poker, so if your'e down with that, give me a holla. I like indie rock, going to local shows, fighting the good fight, living the good life, Beer, Jagermiester, art for art's sake,Pina Coladas and getting caught in the rain, long walks on the beach....BLAH, BLAH, BLAH I am just a guy who likes to have a good time. I am easy going, yet passionate. I love a good joke, even if it's on me, though it's better if I play it on someone else. Music is one of my passions, I couldn't imagine a world without music. I would go out every night to hear some live music if I could afford it. My friends are another passion. I am fiercely loyal to my friends, enjoy giving little gifts and making my friends laugh and smile.
I AM 61% EMO! Well.. I've made the cut! Now I'll go buy some promise rings and knit myself a sweater. Take the EMO test at Fuali.com
I AM 43% PUNK ROCK! Well, I may know what punk is, but... Okay maybe some people think I am punk, but is that enough? Nope. Take the PUNK ROCK test at Fuali.com
I AM 59% SKA! Well, maybe I'm trying too hard, maybe I'm not trying hard enough. I shouldn't forget my roots, and remember that punk and reggae wouldn't exist without ska. Take the SKA test at Fuali.com
I AM 54% GRUNGE! I am pretty dirty, all right and, I reek of teen spirit... I would sell my own children for a moldy hotpocket, man. Take the GRUNGE test at Fuali.com

I am addicted to "Most Extreme Elimination Challenge"

Okay, so the humor is juvenille at best, but I can't help but cracking up at the low-brow humor, silly costumes, bad over-dubbing... Captian Tenelle is the shizznit, and Kenny Blankenship's "most pai...
