About Me


Create your own Friend Quiz here
..

Hey everyone...welcome to my page. As you can most likely tell, I have quite a bit going on here. Music is my number 1 passion. I'm a drummer, keyboard player, and bass player. I went to Berklee College of Music and graduated with a degree in Music Production and Engineering, and have my own studio where I work with friends and colleagues on their music, and am always open to work with new faces. I have a MySpace music page which you can view by clicking here and it will open in a new window.
I also love hanging out with friends, surfing MySpace (I admit I'm addicted) and Facebook, driving (sometimes fast), and new to my repertoire...working out! I joined a gym recently and have been going 6 days a week.
So if I'm not watching a DVD of Frasier, I'm probably writing some kind of blog on here. It's got to be one of the single most abused things I do on MySpace. Some of them are my venting, some are silly, some are just nonsense. It's a good way to get to know me and my thought process. I welcome comments, I love hearing back from people.
I respectfully request that you don't send me friend requests just to get on my list. I also request that if you have "adult content" on your page that requires me to install the player, please don't send me friend requests either, I'll just deny them. :-)
OK so enough about me, let's talk about you. Send me a message, I look forward to hearing from you, getting to know you, who knows maybe meeting you sometime.

Apparently, I scored a 50% on the "how fucking JERSEY are you?" Quizie! What about you? But don't let that fool you, I stay true to my roots.

I've gotten into drinking wine lately, trying to further my knowledge of fine wines... this is an amazing red wine from Italy, currently my favorite wine. If you can find it at your local fine wine store, definitely try it. The taste is very smooth, and it goes excellent with pasta and meats.

Macs, music, movies (a whole collection), meeting new people (trying to find other things that start with "M" since I'm on a roll...) developing my inner cynical self, -- Trying to keep my myspace profile up to date... looking for new music to listen to... did I mention music?, anything pertaining to the VW Passat, Cirque du Soleil, trains/railroading, making sure things aren't super-tidy (I like a little disorganization), keeping up with Frasier, going into NYC to see a show now and then...

I'd like to meet:

I'd love to meet people who enjoy spending time both staying in and going out. I'm not the partygoing type, but I'll go to one every now and again just to avoid monotony. I'd love to meet people who share my interests, and who may have interests they might think I'd like. I want to meet people who care about how people look on the inside, since that is where true beauty (or handomeness if you're a dude) lies.

I think we all have a soul mate somewhere on this planet, and I hope that everyone finds theirs early in life so that they can experience a life filled with nothing but happiness. I sincerely would love to meet my soul mate. Maybe it's you. :-)As for a "list" of people I'd love to meet in my lifetime: Christopher Lloyd, Larry David, Jeff Foxworthy, Quincy Jones, Whoopi Goldberg, Eddie Izzard, Laurence Fishburne, the Verizon Wireless "can you hear me now" guy

I want to meet people who want to meet the real me.


Most importantly I want to meet people who like to be themselves. I am myself, all the time. That's the only way to be.

Music:



I absolutely love Nitza, she opens for the Cirque du Soleil: DELIRIUM show, which will be touring again in 2007. Her voice is amazing, and her songs are inspirational. I'd love to perform with her someday. If you click her picture above it will open her myspace page in a new window.
