About Me

Hey everyone, my name is Sam.

Some of the words I hear thrown around daily to describe me are: Hero, Saint, Martyr, etc. The truth is I see myself as a typical guy. The fact that girls think I am handsome, charming, and sexy does not phase me. I am who I am. Yeah it might be true that on the weekends I read to children at the children's hospital and maybe I play guitar and hold sing-a-longs for elderly people at the local nursing homes. Maybe all this is true, but is it really important? The truth is I don't let all this greatness that my life projects, stroke my ego. I'm sure there are a thousand guys who would do the same, if they lived my life and faced the same situations. Call me crazy, but I'm the type of guy who finds joy in seeing others smile. Forgive me for being a hopeless romantic and for the fact that I was born with my heart on my sleeve. Like I said, I am who I am………..P.S. - I love you Mom.

My Interests

I like to play guitar, its been about 8 years now. I also build guitar tube amps. I have approx. 12 guitars and 6 amps. View my photos for a few pictures of them. I also do a little recording on an 8 track digital recorder when I have the time. I am also a big fan of rare and/or crazy effects pedals, some I have made myself, other I have bought. I also do a little metal detecting with some guys from work.

I'd like to meet:

I would like to meet people (people = hot girls) who understand the art of sarcasm and who might share a common interest in: guitar, music, film, etc. and with whom I can talk with. Is that you?

You can find me on AIM, YAHOO, or MSN using GUITARSAM81.

Music:

Here are a few of my musical interest: Bob Schneider, Patrice Pike, Sister 7, Wayne Sutton, Kacy Crowley, Elizabeth McQueen, Damien Rice, The Scabs, Billy Harvey, Ryan Adams, Whiskeytown, Steve Poltz, The Rugburns, Elliott Smith, Jason Mraz, Polyphonic Spree, Merle Haggard, Redd Volkaert, Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings, Joe Ely, James McMurtry, Steve Earle, Lucinda Williams, Todd Snider, Billy Joe Shaver, Guy Clark, Beaver Nelson, Jack Ingram, Hank III, The Beatles, Neil Young, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Junior Brown, Jimmie Vaughan, Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Buddy Guy, Alice In Chains, Tenacious D, Hole, Janes Addiction, Jerry Cantrell, NOFX, Oasis, Silverchair, Smashing Pumpkins, Soul Asylum, Nirvana, Marilyn Manson, Rage Against The Machine, Pearl Jam, Deftones, ect. I will continue to add more when time permits.

Movies:

I really like to watch movies of all genres. I do have favorites that I plan to list but I will do that another day. Last time I counted I had over 350 DVD's. Here are some Favorites: Run Ronnie Run, Bottle Rocket, Saving Silverman, High Fidelity, Stealing Harvard, Dude Where's My Car, Napoleon Dynamite, Ladies Man, Office Space, Dirty Work, etc. I will list more later.

Television:

I don't really have much time to "live" watch TV. Most of what I watch is prerecorded with Tivo or from DVD seasons. It is very easy for me to become interested in a series, I really like and watch regularly: Nip/Tuck, Lost, Inked, The Office, Arrested Development, Six Feet Under, Veronica Mars, The O.C., One Tree Hill, Family Guy, Futurama, South Park, The Sopranos, Family Business, The Girls Next Door, Carnival, Desperate Housewives, and maybe more.

Books:

I am always reading something. For me to keep an updated list, it would require me to update this section often so I will not be doing that. If you would like to know what I am reading just ask.

Heroes:

My Mom, Dad, and my Grandparents.
