About Me

I think a song by Bill Haley and His Comets sums it up pretty nicely...

One o'clock two o'clock three o'clock ROCK
Four o'clock five o'clock six o'clock ROCK
Seven o'clock eight o'clock nine o'clock ROCK
Ten o'clock eleven o'clock twelve o'clock ROCK

Rock and Roll all the time. Little bits of hip-hop r&b funk reggae and jazz, but mostly ROCK.

I also drive a purple minivan that I used to hate but have learned to love. After I kicked its ass. Literally, there is a dent on the trunk the exact size and shape of my foot. We get along much better now.

My Interests

Driving, music, Jacob's Choice sandwiches, smoking pot, playing music, finding interesting ways to pack my car full of equipment and people, buffalo chicken pizza, falling asleep when it rains, naps at any time, spending my money before I know I have it, the Red Sox, watching espn while eating breakfast, putting up witty away messages, not doing the dishes, football - PATS, busting your chops, travel, dogs (I fucking HATE cats), good beer, mushroom tea, rocking, extreme rocking, sex, intellectual conversation, and of course...proper habedashery
