FUNK YOU

About Me

Sax-o-boom. That's where it's at.The internet is a scary place and I'm not sure where I stand with it.I have lots of cool friends who are cool.I guess I'm pretty close to deleting this ridiculous myspace page, but I'm so sucked in just like everyone else... it's leaving me in limbo.I'm busy and my job let's me blow up a cannon once a day, sometimes twice!

My Interests

Anatomy and Physiology

I'd like to meet:

We either know each other and we're entertaining ourselves through click clack or we're going to be friends in real life at some point. If it's the latter, can I borrow five bucks and pay you later?I'm looking for a Trombone and Tenor to join the Clementones.

Music:

victor rice. chris murray. slackers. scofflaws. methadones. groovie ghoulies. lee "scratch" perry. hostage life. skatalites. sharon jones and the dap-kings. stevie wonder. ray charles. the aggrolites. the creeps. the threat. the ramones. the queers. screeching weasel. toots and the maytals. the bouncing souls. patsy cline. mr. t-bone. antibalas. guns n roses. mad caddies. the outbred inlaws. lo and the magnetics. anything mitch girio has ever done. the carter family. johnny cash. delroy wilson. laurel aitken. tower of power. james brown. miles. dizzy. mingus. gerry mulligan. tina turner. jimmy cliff. the heatskores. the misfits. the paragons. gladys knight. the riverdales. westbound train. dr. ring ding. django. and on and on and on.

Movies:

The problem is I spend too much time in bars watching bands and playing that I never want to watch movies like normal people. I'd rather play guitar hero and think about the first time I went to a movie without my parents. Me and Emily totally saw Encino Man. Ah, freedom.

Television:

Discovery channel, biography channel, TLC and any learning I can get from a show that isn't a reality series. Except for the Pussy Cat Dolls search, I learned that I'm a better dancer.

Books:

Autobiographies, Biographies and short stories involving music and musicians. I'm somewhat reading Mick Foley's new book on wrestling. It's definitely not hardcore in any way.

Heroes:

does everyone say their mom? ben weasel is a close second. The thing about heroes is they always fuck up sooner or later and then what do you have? A fucked up hero I guess.
