Moderator for the best metal site on the web - Metal Storm!
I don't intend to blog often, as there is enough about me on my website. If you really want to know click here. If that's not enough, fuck off.
Music , movies, computers , photography, camping, hiking, television
Someone as cool as me. Alas, this will never happen, as there is no such person. However, if you've always dreamed of meeting someone as cool as me, here I am. Dig that - you're a lucky fuck!

I gave on rap after the demise of NWA, but I'm still fond of the classic sounds of Run DMC, LL Cool J, The Fat Boys, the first Beastie Boys album, and a handful of other "classics" of that era.
Suffice to say that I dig just about anything musical that doesn't suck.
