music, movies, watching TV, reading, buying DVDs, going to concerts, hanging with my friends, traveling, road trips, whacked out roadside attractions, voyeurism, vintage watches, thrift stores, flea markets, antique shops, bowling, hockey, rollerderby, shooting pool, team trivia, diners, vegas, gambling, sleeping in on weekends, spoiling my nephew, your basic guy stuff.
I'd like to meet:
Like minded individuals and people I can get along with. Or anyone who can provide me with interesting surveys. And I don't care if you have a webcam.
NOTE to all bands sending me friend requests...
The rules for my adding musicians/bands are as follows:
I actually like that musician/band.
I've heard of or know the musician/band.
I own a CD by that musician/band.
I've seen the musician/band in concert.
And I'll be perfectly honest that I really don't have the time nor desire to check out the music on your page, so don't ask me to.
If you don't meet any of those rules, I'm not going to approve your friend request. Sorry, but I gotta have some standards.
From here on out, NO MORE posting about upcoming shows or events in my comment section. Keep that crap for bulletins. All postings will not be approved or deleted. That is all.
