Aloha from Hell

About Me

I grew up as an "air force brat" and lived all over the continental U.S. I've been in Dover, DE for about ten years now, and this is my third time around. I've been a skate punk since late '85. I took eight years off between my freshman and sophomore years in college and worked, mostly in restaurants. I graduated Magna cum laude from Wesley College in May 2004. My bachelor degree's in business administration. I work for a local law firm. I'm back in Wesley again, taking law classes for paralegal certification. I lost my little brother in 1999, and I miss him every day. I'm engaged and I can't wait to get married and have a kid or two! I'm tying the knot September 15, 2007. I still love to skateboard, go to shows, drink beer, and hang out with friends. I have a big music collection. I love first-wave British punk, hardcore punk, and Jamaican music. I play bass guitar. I used to be in a band called Infant Mortality. I'm proud of the split record we put out in 1994 with Violent Society, called "East Coast Assholes". It was repressed in 1998 on Schuylkill Records. I also played in the Spo-its, the Kurch, and the Pests. I went on "Jerry Springer" in 1998 and punched somebody out. I still rock Vision Street Wear shoes, ride my '89 Tony Hawk board, and skate better than you.

My Interests

Playing and listening to music, hanging out with friends, drinking beer, going to the beach, skateboarding, skateparks (especially O.C. Bowl), drinking beer, girls, girls with pretty feet, girls with french pedicures/corsets/dayglo fishnets and punk rock attitude.

I'd like to meet:

Cool people. Girls with really pretty feet. People into punk rock or reggae. You can IM 'oldskoolpat' on AIM or MSN occasionally. Who I wouldn't like to meet: assholes, liars, fake friends, fake punks, fake Rastas, racists, and homophobes.
