My Interests

My name is Jeff, I generally go by my initials JJ. The 'Ramone" after my screen name is a tribute to the Gods of Punk rock. I was born and raised in Southwick, Massachusetts. A tiny town outside Springfield. Those that know of the town know 3 things about it: Roma's Pizza, Mrs. Murphy's donuts, and many, many liquor establishments. I graduated Southwick High class of 1988. My family and childhood friends still live there, and we still keep in touch to this day ............... After High School I started working for United Airlines, and in 1992 I moved to Burbank, California. It was my first time away from the east coast, and it was an awesome experience. I lived there until 2004. Yes, I met many celebrities, bands, and the like. But hands down, the highlight was attending the annual porn convention (called Erotica LA) and meeting the beuatiful porn actresses. I have many pictures taken with them, along with autographed pictures. Ironically I watch little porn, I don't even surf the web for porn. But heck, the pictures and autographs make excellent tools to show my friends and inquiring minds..................................................... During my time in Los Angeles I went through the Rodney King trial and subsequent riots, numerous earthquakes, the O.J. Simpson fiasco, Arnold Schwartzenegger, 9/11 and the aftermath, as well as the wonderful high speed chases shown on tv. But I found one of my favorite spots on this planet in Venice Beach. If you've been there you know what a fascinating place it is. If you've never been, I highly recommend you check it out just once and you will understand what the hype and mystique is all about.....................In July 2002 I started working with the Los Angeles Philharmonic and Hollywood Bowl. It was there while playing some online trivia where I met my now wife, Erica. We started chatting and flirting, innocent shit we all do online. After about 8 months of calls, chats, and letters (yes, I still wrote letters as late as 2003), she flew out there to visit me. And the moment I first laid eyes on her I knew right then and there I was going to marry her. I just had to make a few adjustments, mainly moving from warm and sunny Los Angeles to Milwaukee. In Rocktober 2003 I flew out here to visit Erica and her three kids, and our first date out here she took me to see Superjoint Ritual & Devil Driver. That visit convinced me it was time to move. In January 2004 Erica flew out to Los Angeles for Super Bowl weekend, and the night before the game I took her to see Iron Maiden & Arch Enemy. Right after the show is when I proposed to her. Three months later, April 2nd, 2004, she flew back to Los Angeles, where we packed a 2004 Mustang with my clothes, cd's, and other miscellaneous items (I shipped 12 boxes of things to her already),and we drove 4 days to Milwaukee. 18 months later, Rocktober 21, 2005, we were married. When she walked down the aisle, instead of the traditional "aisle walk" song, we had a medley of AC/DC's "Hells Bells" and Highway To Hell". (Does anyone sense a pattern of metal music here?!!?) .................................................. That basically sums up my life in a nutshell thus far. As for this profile, I am fortunate to have met and gotten to know some great people. I consider all of them friends. By all means, if you have any questions, feel free to drop me a message or comment..................................................... ............................................................ .........................................................

I'd like to meet:

Happy Days

Television:

Married with Children is by far the best fucking show ever created, produced, and aired on television. Not even close. Al Bundy is a hero, a legend, a fucking icon to milllions and millions of men througout the entire world. I do watch some other shows, like Jeopardy, Law & Order, The Simpsons, Family Guy (Giggity Giggity Giggity), Fraggle Rock, A-Team, That's Fuckin Incredible, Eight is Enough, Charles in Charge, Seinfeld, Cheers, Night Court, Fraiser, King of Queens, Diffrent Strokes, Facts of Life, Last Comic Standing, Scooby Doo, Rocky & Bullwinkle, Flintstones, Jetsons, Speedbuggy, Jabberjaw, Joise & The Pussycats, Ripley's Believe it or Not, Unsolved Mysteries, Cheaters, Maximum Exposure (Max Ex), Cops, America's Most Wanted, all those police shows involving high speed pursuits, The Office, Rodney Carrington, to name a few

If there's one thing in my life that's missing It's the time that I spend alone Sailing on the cool and bright clear water It's kind of a special feeling When you're out on the sea alone Staring at the full moon, like a lover Time for a cool change I know that it's time for a cool change Now that my life is so prearranged I know that it's time for a cool changeWell I was born in the sign of water And it's there that I feel my best The albatross and the whales they are my brothers There's lots of those friendly people And they're showing me ways to go And I never want to lose their inspirationTime for a cool change I know that it's time for a cool change Now that my life is so prearranged I know that it's time for a cool changeI've never been romantic And sometimes I don't care I know it may sound selfish But let me breathe the air Let me breathe the air...Well I was born in the sign of water And it's there that I feel my best The albatross and the whales they are my brothers It's kind of a special feeling When you're out on the sea alone Staring at the full moon, like a loverTime for a cool change I know that it's time for a cool change Now that my life is so prearranged I know that it's time for a cool change++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ +++++ I ain't never been with a woman long enough For my boots to get old We've been together so long now They both need resoledIf I ever settle down You'd be my kind And it's a good time for me To head on down the lineHeard it in a love song (3x) Can't be wrongI'm the kinda man likes to get away Like to start dreaming about Tomorrow, today Never said that I love you even though its so Where's that duffle bag of mine? It's time to goHeard it in a love song (3x) Can't be wrongI'm gonna be leaving At the break of dawn Wish you could come But I don't need no woman taggin along I'll sneak out that door Couldn't stand to see you cry I stay another year if i saw teardrops in your eyesHeard it in a love song (3x) Can't be wrongI never had a damn thing, but what I had I had to leave it behind You're the hardest thing I ever tried to get off of my mind Always something greener on the other side of that hill I was born wrangler and a rounder and I guess I always willHeard it in a love song (3x) Can't be wrong+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ++++I bite the hand 'cause this hand feeds off me Devoid of emotion, it lives to cheat Ignorance is bliss, and respect I gave you Friend you did claim this Too bad you can't speak the truthGive respect 'Cause the rule is blood for bloodBeatings is what you'll inherit this time Fast bait, your new name Your pain is my shine Pulverize and break Determination Pleasure I negate Your pain brings me salvationI was born of tension Anger came from frustration I can't back down from aggression Some hard knocks taught me this lesson..
