About Me

I am the drummer in DIVE. I make really weird faces onstage and if I see you looking really bored at a show it's a good possibility that I'm going to throw a drumstick at you (true story). I like to read when I have time. I like to drink. I hate sloppy drunks. I like to hang out with friends. I like making fun of them too, I guess it's because I don't like people that take themselves too seriously. I invented the homerun. I hate clutter. I like when things blow up. I've never met anyone from New Hampshire. For some reason I think anytime anyone either farts or throws up it's a legitimate excuse for me to laugh my ass off. I'm unexplainable until you really get to know me, which is the way I like it. I drink a lot of water and I really want people to start cooking me dinner. I'm a horrible liar. In the near future I'd like to play music for a living, in the long run I'd like to buy a house and raise a family. Until then I'd like to play house, buy a family and raise music for a living. "Fingolfin's Challenge"...for any other Tolkien dorks

My Interests

drums, watching good bands, reading, bars, spending time with friends, watching the Mets, going to Yankee games (don't ask, I'm a hardcore all-weather die-hard Mets fan, but no one wants to go to that abominable stadium with me so if I want to see baseball games I have to go to Yankee Stadium), I'm the drummer in Dive, www.myspace.com/dive

I'd like to meet:

Someone that can go out and have a good time and also stay in and not be a bore...or at least not as much of a bore as I am. Anyone with a sense of humor that disregards political correctness (if you don't have a sense of humor then I probably don't want to talk to you anyway)...and anyone who's not completely nuts.

Music:

I've been slowly adding to this every once in a while, in no particular order: Jeff Buckley, Stevie Wonder, Hatebreed, Mars Volta, Radiohead, Muse, Bill Withers, Portishead, Lake Trout, Paulson, Deftones, old Incubus, old 311, System of a Down, random underground hip hop, random underground drum n' bass, Breaking Benjamin, Panic! At the Disco, HIM, Ours, James Brown, P-Funk, NIRVANA, Mindless Self Indulgence, Killswitch Engage, Life of Agony, Disturbed, Billie Holliday, Dry Kill Logic, Sade, Psychostick, Bull Session, Crown of Thornz, Herbie Hancock, more to come

Movies:

Shawshank Redemption, Princess Bride, the Lord of the Rings trilogy, Napoleon Dynamite, Anchorman, Office Space, Gladiator, Goodfellas, A Bronx Tale, Star Wars (all 6 of them), Bachelor Party, The Natural, The Warriors, Emmitt Otter's Jugband Christmas...and City of God was pretty cool if you can handle subtitles

Television:

The Sopranos, Family Guy, The Office, Arrested Development, Garage Takeover, a lot of random things on Discovery Channel

Books:

Lord the Rings Trilogy, Silmarilien, A Case for Faith, 1984, Celestine Prophecy, The Art of War, I wish I had more time to read.

Heroes:

Jesus Quintana from the Big Lebowski. And J3.
