Quit looking at my ass.........prevert....lol

About Me

Hmmm....how do I start this fricken thing off? Well, most people call me Mike or Stone but you can call me "The Italian Stallion" ;), and no I don't mean Rocky Balboa...lol. I love writing and performing music. It's been my life for about 13 years now. Which has included playing in ChaliceX , and Ramshackle and Laynzend . Currently I am playing in a band with fellow ChaliceX members. Just playing some covers and some of our originals, but I will be pursuing something more soon like maybe recording some of my own songs. There is such a great feeling that comes with playing live infront of lots of people. I am getting tired of my bulletins being bombarded with so many band bulletins that I have moved all my bands to my new fav bands site .
I have a passion for hockey and have been devoted to one team the past 20 years. Go Red Wings!!! Thanx Stevie for all the great years of hockey. I also enjoy working out, camping, partying and most importantly hanging with friends and family. All in all, I like to have a good time in general. Making people laugh is something I strive towards, cause a smile is contagious they say. I try to lean towards being spontaneous and adventurous. Sometimes it just doesn't happen that way though.
If you'd like to view other concert photos goto my msn spaces pics . Anyways, If you like what you've read don't be shy and send an e-mail my way.
I love the Detroit Redwings, just about anything with M&M's, The Oakland Athletics, Dallas Cowboys. Going to concerts are and absolute pleasure as you can see I've been to alot. The color Silver is my color of choice, so if you are deciding to by me something, try to make it silver...lol. I love the smell outside after it rains. It's unbeatable, just so clean. Aswell as the smell of BBQ's and campfires...yum, now I'm getting hungry. But most of all I love my family, friends and adore my niece to death.
What I absolutely dislike are the Calgary Flames, Jerome Iginla, cold weather...brrr, slow and old drivers aswell as slow old drivers combined...lol. Snobby people annoy me as well as people that feel the need to bud infront of everyone in a lineup. Hmmm, then there are those people that haven't heard of deodorant. Like come on, use it you stinky bastard...lol. I also have no use for the sport of basketball and bandwagon jumpers. Pick a damn team already....arrgghhh.

My Interests

Writing and Performing music, concerts, hockey, working out, camping, partying, hanging with friends.

I'd like to meet:

I am interested in just meeting people in general. I am in a relationship so I am just looking to meet new friends from all over to chat, party or hang out with. They should have a good sense of humor, be fairly spontaneous, be able to keep me laughing, love music because playing and writing music is what I wanna do with the rest of my life. Someone that is confident in themselves. Someone intelligent, reliable, friendly, responsible and above all must be honest. I hung out with Bruce Gordon, the bass player of I Mother Earth, for awhile after a gig at a local bar which they rocked hard. He was pretty cool. We discussed why it is us bass players never usually get the chicks...lol, the answer...damn singers....hahaha, just buggin ya buddy!!!!

You Know You're a Pothead When...

You think the song "Truckin'" by the Grateful Dead should replace the national anthem.

Your music collection is worth more than your vehicle.

Your bong is taller than your dog.

It takes you more than 30 minutes to roll a joint.

You set your wedding date for 4/20.

You take off April 20th every year and treat it as a holiday.

You spent your last bit of money to score some herbs and don't have enough gas money to get home but you don't care.

You start every sentence with - uhhh!.

You intentionally roll seeds in your joints on independence day so you can hear the popping because you don't have money to buy fireworks.

You eat at Taco Bell more than 8 times a week.

You wear sunglasses at night, and see better.

You go to the corner store and the clerk automatically tosses a pack of rolling papers on the counter.

Your pot tray is fuller than your refrigerator.

Your bong gets washed more than your dishes.

You sell your car for gas money

You are the only tobacco smoker in the room and you look at the cigarette in the ashtray and ask, "Is that my cigarette?"

You're eating something on your way home thinking about what you're gonna eat when you get home!

Every cylinderical object you see, turns into plans on a new smoking device....

Just to be religous, you observe 4:20 in every time zone.

Someone has ever come up to you on the street and said "Hi" and you said "Yep."

You thought the ebola virus was a type of weed.

You think being stoned to death would be a damn good way to go out.

You have ever smoked pot before 8 o'clock in the morning.

You actually get these jokes and pass them on to other pothead friends.
