The day I learn to fly I'm never coming down

About Me

I don't wanna live my life on a bed of roses cause I don't wanna leave my razor blades.

My Interests

Everything. I'll sleep when I'm dead.

I'd like to meet:

People who rock to their fullest potential

Music:

Rocket from the Crypt, Black Flag, the Ramones, the Misfits, Apocalypse Hoboken, Drive Like Jehu, Hot Snakes, Dan Sartain, Avail, the Police, Fishbone, Johnny Cash, Nine Pound Hammer, New Bomb Turks, Black Sabbath, Elton John, Darkest of the Hillside Thickets, Rise Against, Screeching Weasel, the Sultans, the Damned, Krzystof Komeda, John Williams, Danny Elfman, Kyuss, the Marked Men, the Bronx, Primus www.getvanstoned.com

Movies:

The Empire Strikes Back, Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, Night of the Living Dead (1968), Something Wicked This Way Comes, Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory (1971), High Plains Drifter, Sleepy Hollow, Sin City, Brotherhood of the Wolf, the Shining, Army of Darkness, Pirates of the Caribbean, Dr. Strangelove, Fearless Vampire Killers, Decline of Western Civilization Part 1, Spinal Tap

Television:

Makes me stupid - avoid at all costs. But I have a weakness for Mr. Show and Trailer Park Boys. Quoth the Ravens, nevermore.

Books:

At long last I have finally completed my thorough reading of the Complete Tales and Poems of Edgar Allan Poe, a storied volume of some import. In the inevitable yet unfortunate event of an epidemic outbreak of the macabre I fear that I shall be only slightly less ill-prepared than those pitiable souls upon whom this as-yet-unnamed doom shall be visited.

Heroes:

My friend Hector L. Roman. I've never met someone who has been given so little, tested so sorely, and yet accomplished so much. He also taught me how to kickflip.

I feel like this is such a classless way to pass this terrible news along, but I don't keep up with many of you as well as I'd like and wasn't sure how else to do it. My appologies if you've already h...

How the mighty have fallen, part 2

After the Anal Cunt show Jeff and I departed to celebrate his 30th birthday by getting dinner at Dave's Taverna.  We'd have done something cooler, but he neglected to mention it was his...

How the mighty have fallen, part 1

Old South High Street is a hallowed place in the annals (pun intended) of Harrisonburg, VA rock and roll.  It is a shortish dead-end street a block or so from downtown proper, mostly lined with c...

Everything Went Black

I could go on and on about this band, but if you don't already like Black Flag this won't really mean anything to you anyway. Black Flag was primarily a four piece band - guitar, bass, drums, vocals -...

Family Values

A little while ago I was riding in the car when a rather large pickup truck pulled up to the stoplight beside me.  The truck looked to be better than 10 years old, and rumbled loudly wh...

Part animal, part machine

"Men rationalize the blind instinct of self preservation, and build glib air-castles explaining why it is better to live than to die, when their boasted - but ignored - intellect is, in every phase, a...

Breathing up all the white man's air

I got the following forwarded mass email from a well-meaning but otherwise politically deluded family member the other day: "Bush wants us to cut the amount of gas we use. The best way to stop using s...

Sometimes they stab

I went to see the new Pirates of the Caribbean movie, "Dead Man's Chest," last Friday on opening night.  Aside from the $3.50 I paid for a thimble full of Coke, it was a blockbuster of fun going ...
