About Me

Things I like: Laughing, smiling and making other people laugh and smile. There's no better feeling! Meeting cool people. Cooking/Baking - Made my first homemade pie at the age of 10, and the piecrust was damn perfect! Portuguese food kicks ass! Of course, it makes your ass grow, too, so you gotta be careful! Let's see, I love all my nieces and nephews, but I gotta give honors to my niece Charlotte who is wicked awesome! Auntie G loves ya baby! You know you're next in line for superrockchickdom! Music, rock and roll, guitar rock, melodic rock, kickass rock! Playing air guitar on my steering wheel w/music cranked up. Live concerts, live bands at local bars. Traveling to hear my favorite bands.Things I hate:People who don't respond when you say hello. (Try it and watch what happens! Hahaha!) Mean people. Loud cell phone talkers. Arrogant arseholes, and people who think they're holier/better than thou.

My Interests

Music, music, and more music. ----------------------Thin Lizzy with Gary Moore "Don't Believe a Word" 1978 *** this is an excellent slowed-down version of this tune.

I'd like to meet:

Pre March 22, 2007 - Batttttty!!! I just wanna meet Batttttty one time. Oh yeah, and Pete Way too (come to the US, please)!Post March 22, 2007 - Hmmmmmm......ok, now that I've met Batttttty and Pete Way, who would I like to meet? I think I must meet Pat Savage next. Whaddaya say, Pat? Time to tour the US!

Music:

Grew up on Bob Dylan, Janis Joplin, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Jimi Hendrix. Then I turned 6 (LOL!) and started listening to Top 40 stuff. Then at the age of 11, a revelation......Electric Guitarrrrrrrr! Pick slides! Melodic Rock. Shit with substance, and not the same crap repeated over and over again. Early stuff from UFO, Scorpions, Priest, Good Rats, Pat Travers, Triumph, Thin Lizzy, Bad Company, Rainbow (with Ronnie James Dio, who has one of the most kickass rock voices EVER!), Blackfoot, Budgie, Starz, Montrose, Legs Diamond, Moxy, and more. I have a major soft spot in my heart for the legendary Irish guitarist, Rory Gallagher. Michael Schenker and Uli Jon Roth are my two most favoritestestest guitarists of all time! Nowadays, anything that moves me, or makes me move, which includes my old favs, some modern/alternative rock. Check out young, up-and-coming female guitarist, Kristen Capolino! That girl shoots flames off her Flying V! Also Matt O'Ree for his killer guitar-driven Rock/Blues style and ability to make you feel. Let's not forget famous biker and rock/blues/jam guitarist Pat Savage who knows how to rock hard and have fun doin' it! Check out Pat's new series, "A Bikers Lifestyle..The Savage Roads", coming soon to the Discovery Channel!

Movies:

Scary Movies: It and almost every other Stephen King movie! Oldies: Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory Wizard of Oz! Lord of the Rings, The Wedding Singer, Legends of the Fall (for obvious reasons), Perfect storm, Saving Private Ryan, Titanic. I do way better with "name that tune" than "name that actor or movie" anyway!

Television:

Soprano's! Eh....oh! Law and Order SVU, King of Queens, Deal or No Deal (proud addict).

Books:

Yeah, I've read some.....lots!

Heroes:

My dad who survived so much in life - emotionally, and physically. He taught me by example how to be strong and persevere! My late big brother, Bob, who knew how to kick back, let the world happen around him and enjoy the ride.
