I need no one, I hate everybody... - Turdus Musicus Tour Mantra

About Me


The tools of conquest do not necessarily come with bombs and explosions and fallout. There are weapons that are simply thoughts, attitudes, prejudices -- to be found in the minds of men. For the record, prejudices can kill and suspicion can destroy, and a thoughtless, frightened search for a scapegoat has a fallout all its own -- for the children and the children yet unborn. - Rod Serling - The Twilight Zone
I love playing the drums more than just about anything, save Zena, my love.
I am 'posidiy' on AOL Instant Messenger, so drop a line there!
I spend most of my days doing my day job and pushing myself to be the best musician I can. My goal, like lots of people out here in LA, is to 'make it' with my music. I will not 'wish' that I make it.... cause I think that's a lost cause... I 'work' to make it, for sure... and it's hard work! But playing live shows, touring, sleeping on floors, etc..... doing all the things necessary to get out there, build fans and friends, and build that all important support network to take things to the next level - it's all worthwhile when you see yourself in front of bigger and bigger crowds who are ready to rock with you!
Conor: At age 79 you will die from an equipment malfunction in an exciting, fear based reality game show. Your death will receive the highest ratings of any episode of any reality show, ever.

My Interests

Playing the drums, my love Zena, being in love... awesome t-shirts, being naked, getting home from work and taking all my clothes off, PB&J, tuna fish, cooking, eating, breathing, afternoon delight, driving roadsters, my father-in-law's 72 E Type, my old '85 MR2, my Veggie Van, my drumset

I'd like to meet:

People with something to say, but that have also put some thought into it. Nothing more dissapointing than "well, they seem intelligent.... OH! Their full of shit." (Carlin) Don't be full of shit... no harm in saying "I don't know" if you really don't.
