-Music is my life.-
I play bass, guitar, drums (but not very well), keyboard/synth, and I'm a vocalist. I listen to music on a near constant basis, from the time I get up, until the time I go to sleep, there is always music on. I love going to shows as well, and I support the local scene as much as possible.
- I write quite a bit.-
I write short stories, songs, and poetry.
-I love to drive.-
I just love being on the road and driving...it's just so liberating. Just turn the radio up and go.
-I read as much as possible.-
- I love smoking pot.-
If that offends you, kiss my ass.
- I go to the movies quite a bit.-
- I love spending time with my friends.-
I'd like to meet:
I'd like to meet just about anybody ineteresting. It'd be easier to say who I don't want to meet:
- People only interested in adding me as a friend to increase the size of their friend's list.
- People interested in me only because I smoke pot and want to get high for free...fuck off.
- People who add me to their friend's list for inane reasons...I really don't care if you like As I Lay Dying too...it doesn't really matter.
- People who add me and then never talk to me again...what the fuck is that shit?
- People who have hatred in their heart for no good reason (e.g. racists, bigots, homophobes, etc.)
- Preachy vegans, Christians, straightedges, etc...I don't care if you're any of those things, I just don't need to hear your bullshit.
- Anyone opposed to drug use, sex, loud music, and things of the like...sorry, they may not be the best things in life, but goddamn they're fun!
- Anyone who takes themselves too seriously...come on now, you've only got one life to live, have fun bitches!
- People looking for sympathy...the last thing I need is more people pleading their trust simply to have me boost their ego.
- People under the age of 18. I'm seriously the age displayed by my name...therefore...if you're under 18...please don't add me unless you a.) Know me PERSONALLY, b.) Have no interest in making my life difficult, c.) Know one of my friends PERSONALLY
That's about it. If you don't fall into those categories, then let's chat! I'm not exactly the most social person, but, I love meeting new and interesting people.
We're not hippies, We're slippies, Like the Manson Family
Remember kids, Charlie loves you!
Everyone wants to meet famous people, and I'm no different.
I'd like to meet...Dez Fafara (again, and actually have a conversation with him), Johnny Depp (because he's the fucking man), Jenna Jameson, Phil Anselmo (I just want to smoke a fattie with him and write a dumbass hardcore song), Snoop Dogg, Chino Moreno, Daryll Palumbo, Devin Townsend, and anyone else worth talking to for more than 10 seconds. And those deceased that I'd like to meet and converse with...Hunter S. Thompson, Timothy Leary, Layne Staley, Syd Barret, and Eric Weis (aka Harry Houdini).

Heroes:
Musically
Dez Fafara
Vocalist/lyricist for DevilDriver (ex-Coal Chamber). Without his music, I would've been dead long ago. His words have given me strength and inspiration. I've gotten the opportunity to meet him twice and he is a very wonderful person.
Michael Williams
Vocalist/lyricist for the Agony Scene. His lyrics kept me sane in a very troubled period of my life. They've given me inspiration and strength, as well as a new direction for my own music. I've seen the Agony Scene live once and they blew me away. Plus, I got to sing all the harsh parts to most of their songs. Interesting fact: Michael actually spit blood all over my arm after he bit open his tongue accidentally.
"
Ozzy FUCKING Osbourne
If you don't know who Ozzy Osbourne is...get the fuck off my page. And if you say, "He's that guy from "The Osbournes" may you burn in Hell. Black Sabbath shall forever remain kings of metal. They can still outplay the younger bands of the scene.
Sean Vincent
My bass teacher of four years. He taught me so much more than music...and I can't think him enough for his support, kind words, and patience. He's molded me into the musician I am today.
Non-musical heroes
My father
The man who has supported everything I've done in my entire life and gets up every morning before the sun rises and breaks his back at work to keep food on the table and to make sure we are never without.
Danielle
My partner in crime, best friend of over 12 years, and smoking buddy, the one, the only, Doobie muthafuckin' P (aka Danielle). Thank you for everything...being there...and never giving up on me.
X...My bestest friend, down until we're underground...X
Batman
He's the only superhero without super powers...I mean, this is sheer strength and determination. Fuck the rest, Batman owns.
