O.C.D.F.F.O.C.D!!!!

About Me

I'm a Dad and a Husband. My Daughter's name is Charlene. She is beautiful. Her latest tricks include, but are by no means limited to: dancing, drawing, and playing with the scanner. She has also recently taken to wearing jewelry and running around in circles. My Wife's name is Nikki. She is also beautiful. She's got a few tricks up her sleeve as well, but that's none of your buisness. My girls are everything to me. ------------------------------------------------------------ ---------------- My band's name is NIGHT KILLS THE DAY. Check us out in my top whatever friends down there. Add us if you like what you hear. Buy our merch if you hate what you wear. (thanks Tommy) Come see us when we play in your town. Hang with us afterword and inflate our egos with praise. We're nice guys, promise.This is the video for our first single, "DIVE", from the album "The Study of Man....", due in stores everywhere March 27th.

My Interests

My Wife and keeping her happy. My Daughter and keeping her happy. Drums and drummers, and drum gear and drum accessories. And cymbals. Playing music in new and different places to receptive and enthusiastic strangers/future fans. Capitalizing on that connection to turn a quick buck at the merch table. That was a joke. I'm a touch sarcastic so bear with me. Magazines! Car ones! Girl ones! Music ones! GT-IV... I challenge anyone! When I grow up I wanna be a race car driver. I'm currently saving my pennies for my N.A.S.A. license so I can participate in the Factory Five Challenge race series. It's sick. Check it out @ ffrchallenge.com/description.html If any bored yet energetic tycoons out there wish to back me on this endeavor, please feel free to message me so we can talk numbers and timeframes.

I'd like to meet:

This guy.

Music:

Everything from the crue to the cure, from miles to maiden, from the beatles to the beasties, from zeppelin to zwan, and from sublime to slayer. My favorite Radiohead song is by Muse and let's try not to forget about Mad Season, they were great. If I start naming bands I'll be here for days and have one of those huge lists that nobody bothers to read through in it's entirety. Just rest assured that I'm a huge music fan.

Movies:

Move These.

Television:

Richard Hell, Richard Lloyd, Tom Verlaine and Billy Ficca.

Books:

Lots of books. I'm easy. I can read Umberto Eco and Dean Koontz with equal verve.

Heroes:

BONZO, and the guy who wrote this: Once I seen a human-ruin In a elevator well, And his members was bestrewin' All the place where he had fell. And I says, apostrophisin' That uncommon, woful wreck: "you're position's so suprisin' That I tremble for your neck!" Then that ruin, smilin' sadly And impressive, up and spoke: "Well, I wouldn't tremble badly, For it's been a fortnight broke." Then, for further comprehension Of his attitude, he begs I will focus my attention On his various arms and legs- How they all are contumacious; Where they each, respective, lie; How one trotter proves ungracious, T'other one an alibi. These particulars is mentioned For to show his dismal state, Which I wasn't first intentioned To specifical relate. None is worser to be dreaded That I ever have heard tell, Then the gents who there was speaded, In that elevator-well. Now, this tale is allegoric- It is figurative and all, For the well is metaphoric And the feller didn't fall. I opine it isn't moral for a writer-man to cheat, And despise to wear a laurel As was gotten by deceit. For 'tis Politics intended By the elevator, mind, It will boost a person splendid If his talent is the kind. Col. Bryan had the talent (For the busted man is him) And it shot him up right gallent Till his head begun to swim. Then the rope it broke above him And he painful come to earth Where there's nobody to love him For his detrimented worth. Though he's livin' none would know him, Or at leastwise not as such. Moral of this woful poem: Frequent oil your safety-clutch.-Porfer Poog.

Ahhh, memories.

Either I didn't know this, or I just never stopped to appreciate any significance it might contain, but it turns out that my Great-Grandfather, my Grandfather, and my oldest Uncle were all Union Ironw...

Bad Title

Actually, this is not really a guide. I cunningly termed this blog a guide in order to rope you in. I was afraid that if I just called it what I thought it was going to turn out to be (an indignant ra...
