About Me

I'm a union stagehand in the San Francisco Bay Area. I work in lighting, carpentry, and audio visual. I have also worked on film productions as a grip and an electrician. According to those personality tests, I am Introverted Intuitive Thinking Perceiving - INTP! I tend to be shy at first meeting someone, but I'll warm up after I get to know you. I try to keep a positive and upbeat outlook on life. My job is very important to me, but I try to make as much time as possible for relatives and friends. I place the highest regard for my family. It's one thing to mess with me, but DON'T mess with my kin. I don't smoke, I don't do drugs, and I only drink socially. Zodiac Sign: Gemini. Chinese Zodiac: Year Of The Boar. People say that I'm an overall easy-going and nice guy. :)Layout made by

My Interests

In Memory of my Father... Who is playing in that Great Golf Course up in the sky!My interests include Playing guitar, Going to the movies, Going to concerts, I like to travel when I can, Following the NFL, Rooting for the Oakland Raiders, Participate in Fantasy Football, Weight Lifting (but I can't seem to get rid of my pot belly!), Listening to Classic Rock / Hard Rock / Heavy Metal, Play the latest Grand Theft Auto game, I'm always down for a good barbeque, An occasional visit to a casino is fun - be it Reno or Cache Creek, I like a good restaurant, but I love a good steakhouse... Well that's all I can think of for now.

I'd like to meet:

I'm here for all the usual reasons: to find old friends, meet new friends, keep in touch with current friends, and score with hot chicks...LOL, Just Kidding! I'm willing to meet all sorts of cool and interesting people. I want to expand my horizons, because I'm always open to learn new things. I'm a full-time student in the School of Life! (OK! It sounds corny, but it's true) PLEASE NOTE: I use to be really open about accepting new friends, but now I'm being more selective. At one time I had over 300 friends, but I only communicated with a fraction of them, so I scaled down my Friend's List. I'm still open to new people, but I don't care about Live Webcam Shows, free Nintendo Wii's, links to Casual Sex Encounter Websites, or Subpar Garage Bands - be it a tribute band or originals. I would rather meet real people living life like myself. If you want to be my friend, then send me a message and let me know who you are! :)

Music:

I'm really into Classic Rock: 107.7 The Bone, AC/DC, Aerosmith, Anthrax, Black Sabbath, The Blues Brothers, Cheech and Chong, Ronnie James Dio, Jimi Hendrix, Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Kiss, Led Zeppelin, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Metallica, Montrose, Motley Crue, Motorhead, Ted Nugent, Ozzy Osbourne, Pink Floyd, Scorpions, Spinal Tap, David Lee Roth's Van Halen, W.A.S.P., The Who, Y&T, ZZ Top. I can listen to some blues, like B.B. King and Buddy Guy. I can listen to some 70's soul, like Parliment and Earth, Wind, And Fire. However, I don't care for rap... that must make me an anomaly in Vallejo! :) ... Nobody remembers DICK AND THE FOUR SKINS and their hit single, "Your Bris Is On My List," from the platinum album, CIRCUMCISION. And their cover of the Bryan Adams song, "Cuts Like A Knife." Great Stuff, Hahaha!

Movies:

HORROR: The Exorcist, Friday the 13th, Halloween, A Nightmare On Elm Street, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Psycho, Hostel, House Of 1000 Corpses. COMEDY: Airplane, The Blues Brothers, Animal House, Detroit Rock City, Fast Times At Ridgemont High, Cheech and Chong's Up In Smoke, Jackass The Movie, This Is Spinal Tap, Kingpin.ACTION/ADVENTURE/SCI FI: Star Wars, Indiana Jones, James Bond, E.T., Godzilla, King Kong.CARTOON FILMS: Toy Story, Finding Nemo, Heavy Metal. SERIOUS GROWN UP DRAMAS: The Shawshank Redemption, Silence Of the Lambs, Schindler's List, Saving Private Ryan, Taxi Driver, Scarface, Patton..... Well, I should also say Dream With The Fishes, because I worked as a grip on this film...... And I should also add Numb, because I worked as an electrician on this one.

Television:

Does anybody remember the sitcom, Police Squad? It was made by the creators of the movie Airplane. Police Squad was my all time favorite TV show when I was growing up. I just bought the complete series on DVD, and it is still funny today as it was back in 1982.But anyway, here's a list of my favorite programs... VH1: Super Group, Surreal Life, I Love the 70's, 80's, 90's. MTV: The Osbournes, Real World/Road Rules Challenge, Viva La Bam. DISCOVERY CHANNEL: American Chopper, Monster Garage, Mythbusters, Unsolved History, Deadliest Catch. HISTORY CHANNEL: History's Mysteries, Digging For the Truth, Modern Marvels. A&E: Dog The Bounty Hunter, Gene Simmons Family Jewels. TV-LAND: The Addams Family, The Munsters ...I still like watching Bugs Bunny Cartoons ... And my guilty pleasures: M*A*S*H, Star Trek, Charmed (Allysa Milano is HOT!), and anything having to do with ghosts or UFO's.

Secrets of the Tomb by Alexandria Robbins. Zodiac, and Zodiac Unmasked by Robert Greysmith. The Set Lighting Technician's Manual by Harry Box. The Grip Book by Michael Uva. I've read a few H.P. Lovecraft short stories. Once in a while I'll read The Bible, and other times I'll read Playboy, Hahaha! I can't forget my most favorite book, The Yellow River by I.P. Freely ;) ... and my guilty pleasure: Harry Potter.
