-I love to Kick open my door during the hot sunny days.. sit on my bed with my feet kicked up holding a wireless Xbox controller ... oh, and then having potato chip crumbs fall on my shirt while i sip a Dew... now you know what that stands for ? it means you dont give a flying fuck about anything the world has to shit on you for.
-Usually every weekend you'll catch me at the Rainbow having a coke or eating

Brad Schmidt, Ken Steiger, Don Dokken, Claudio Pasaventa, Paul Gilbert, Bobby Borg, and Joey Covington
Jens' Top 10 bands of all time(1. = best & 10. = least best)
1. Nirvana
reason: They are the band that influenced me to pick up a guitar. Their simplistic riffs gave me a chance to start off somewhere.
2. Metallica
reason: They challenged my determination on the guitar.. they perfected metal, and will always be remembered
3. Pantera
reason: Dimebag Darrell... comon, enough said...
4. Black Sabbath
reason: Black Sabbath created heavy metal....
5. Alice in Chains
reason: They had that Seattle grunge feel with a metal twist.. just up my alley!
5. Slipknot
reason: Futuristic Insanity.. The band resonsible for 1:bringing Metal and Thrash back into the airwaves, and 2:bringing musicianship/technicality back into modern drumming
6. Mudvayne
reason: The perfecters of modern odd time Signatures.. they are: the mad scientists of heavy metal
7. Lamb of God
reason: In a time era of wannabe metal music, lamb of god surfaces and reinstates technical guitar riffs/drumming
8. Killswitch Engage
reason: Bringing heavy breakdowns in Hardcore music alive.. yet, never forgeting the importance of a melody. Also they helped forge metal with classical/acustic guitar riffs. And keeping the pinched harmonic alive
9. Lost Prophets
reason: In this age of "new" music, nobody has better songwriting skills than them... Surf rock/metal guitar riffs, with intense vocal melodies/harmonies.. simply amazing!
10. Dream Theater
reason: the band responsible for flushing every musicians hopes and dreams down the toilette... haha, they are a musicians musicain.... the best of the best... sometimes too "over the top"
You Are 50% Weird
Normal enough to know that you're weird...
But too damn weird to do anything about it!
