MR BRYAN DAMAGE

I am here for Friends

About Me

"The idea is to have a ball"-Marlon Brando as Johnny-The Wild One. I like rock & roll music and rock & roll fashion. I have a fetish for fashion, hats and shoes. I love Creepers and Converse All Star Hi-Tops. I have a thing for leopard spots & polkadots. I worked in alt fashion boutiques for over 10 years-I have produced fashion shows and night club events/parties. Now I sell switchblade combs & candy cigarettes to little kids at a cool-kitschy novelty/nostalgia toy store called Big Fun. I have long hair-and I dye it BLACK, I wear make-up-product of the 80's. I like people with very strong identities. I like tattoos and piercings-I have a few of my own. I like people with style and fashion sense. I like girls who dress rock & roll and wear lots of make-up with black, bleached, or Manic Panic colored hair. There is nothing cooler or sexier than a girl in a vintage leopard fur coat! I like to have a good time. I drink-I get drunk, & I fall down-sometimes haha! I don't smoke-smoking doesn't bother me-my entire family smokes and I spend alot of time in bars and clubs-still allowed here in Cleveland-(wait strike that)so I am used to it and I don't down anyone for doing it. Same for other recreational substances-I don't do it but I am used to it and I don't down anyone for doing it. I am easy going in that way but I am definately not a follower. When I drink it is usually Jim Beam & Coke-PEPSI prefered, if it is beer it is Budweiser in a bottle. I am not into politics at all and for that matter religion. I hate trendy people. Especially when it comes to music and fashion-you know the person who will say so and so is one of their favorite bands and wears their t-shirt but doesn't own any of their music-LAME. This doesn't count if you had to sell off all of your music to pay the rent-never has this happened to me but it has to friends.

My Interests

Interests huh.... socializing, concerts, clubbing, shopping, music, fashion, collecting happy memories, collecting childhood toys and refridgerator magnets, collecting favorite TV shows on DVD is my latest obsession, movies-at home or in a theater or even better at a Drive-In. I am an eBay junkie-anything you ever wanted can now be yours! The WARRIORS FOR PS2 IS AWESOME!- although would have to say that I prefer pinball to video games-I do own 2 of them-pinball machines that is-an Elvira one and the KISS pinball machine. I like going to toy shows, thrift stores, and flea markets in search of that thing that I never knew I couldn't live without. I am not your typical guy in the way that I do not care for sports, I hate politics, & I don't watch CNN-I would rather go shopping.

I'd like to meet:

People with common interests, likes and dislikes. Collaborators, partners in crime, drinking buddies. Just don't try to sell me anything-well unless you really, really think that I will like it-ok.

Even some old school rap like Run DMC, Public Enemy, and NWA. I think you get the idea-I do like several different types of music but I do hate the rap-rock hybrid.

Also all of the Christmas classics-A Christmas Story-Filmed here in CLEVELAND! Rudolph The Red Nose Reindeer, Frosty The Snowman, The Year Without A Santa Claus, Santa Claus Is Coming to Town, How The Grinch Stoled Christmas.

Television:

I hate to sound like one of those people who down TV, but I don't watch much TV anymore probably because it is mostly "reality" shows and I hate that stuff. If I do watch TV I like to laugh so MAD TV or The Chapelle Show, or it's stuff like the VH1 shows Behind The Music, I love The 80's, E! True Hollywood Stories, or just about anything from HBO like Entourage-"hug it out bitch", The Sopranos, Six Feet Under, The Wire, Deadwood, even Sex And The City-Trying to figure out women I guess!? Cartoons are cool but I am not really into the Japanimation stuff. I like the stuff on the Boomerang Network as opposed to Cartoon Network stuff- Super Friends, Battle Of The Planets, JEM & The Holograms, The Banana Splits, Fat Albert-I love PeeWee's Playhouse-but that is not really a cartoon is it. Also all of the old Sid & Marty Kroft stuff-HR Pufnstuf, Lidsville, Sigmound The Seamonster, etc... Like I mentioned before my latest obsession is buying up all my old favorite TV shows DVD box sets. The Young Ones, Married With Children, School House Rock, 21 Jump Street, The Munsters, Starsky & Hutch, The Dukes Of Hazzard,-still waiting for the dvd box set release of the campy 1966 BATMAN with Adam West and Burt Ward-damn, what are they waiting for! I loved that TV show-I grew up on it-even thou it was made before I was born.

Books:

Latest book read-"Bay City Babylon" The Unbelievable but True Story of the Bay City Rollers-not quite as good as it sounds-HAHAH-but pretty good if you're a fan. I do like to read but I seem to like biographies most, true crime and the like- stuff that really happened as opposed to fiction or horror/suspense. Other favorites would be Under The Black Flag-The Romance and Reality of Life Among The Pirates, Please Kill Me, An American Hero-The biography of Evel Knievel, Disco Bloodbath, Too Much Too Soon-The NY Dolls Story, The Rise an Fall of a 20th Century Superstar-the Marc Bolan story, My prized possesions are my autographed Johnny Thunders biography "In Cold Blood" and my copy of "The Boulevard Of Broken Dreams" The History of Hanoi Rocks-even though it is in Japanese and I can't read it-I can look at all of the pretty pictures.

Heroes:

I will redub the section Idols for my purpose because real heroes don't exist only the ones that we wish existed Batman, Spiderman, Superman, or Wonder Woman. So on that note Idols: people that I think are or were cool: Mr. Johnny Thunders- NYD-DTK-LAMF, Space Ace Frehley not for his murder skills but for his promotion skills- that boy was a genius! and this guy(The Leader of the Baseball Furies gang) because he is BAD ASS!
