About Me

I'm really not that exciting. I try to be, but glamor eludes me. I'm just an over-tall, overly-thought-out, thirty-one-year-old, married, slum-lord-in-training, rock star-in-training. I just changed jobs, am moving to a luxury-like apartment complex in La Jolla, and am finding it very difficult to dilligently recycle in California. I am addicted to fish taco's and breakfast burritos. I have a mortgage, a car payment, a 401k, and I was bored of it. I decided that security is over-rated so I packed up and moved across the country. I still need to figure out what I'm going to "do" with my life before it's too late. Too bad my talent is not very lucrative.

My Interests

I play the harmonica. I've done so for a while, and I've yet to grow tired of it. I guess you can say that's an interest. I like girls, but I'm married now, so I like "A girl" I'm interested in my wife. I enjoy movies, but mainly so I can spend two hours not thinking. The music broadly categorized as the blues is big for me, but more so, music in general. I kind of like science, but more in theory than in practice. Off-color humor. .. Opie and Anthony for example. I was a big Sam Kinison fan as a kid. I dabble in home fix-up, recreational alcoholism, minor car repair, reading, computer building, and road rage.

I'd like to meet:

This means celebrities, right? Frankly, I've met most of the living people I want to. Maybe I should call this "I'm glad I met" instead. That list goes like this: Rod Piazza, Kim Wilson, Rick Estrin, Jason Ricci, Nick Curran, James Harman, Chuck Berry, I almost spoke to Stephen King once. . .I guess dead people would include: Bob Marley, Mckinley Morganfield, Chester Burnett, Hitler (I know he was a bad dude, but anyone that nuts has got to be fascinating), Marion Walter Jacobs, Amos Blakemore, George Smith, Wilt Chamberlain... ElvisLiving: Schwarzenegger, John Popper, Keira Knightly, Anthony Cumia, Willie Nelson. I wish I'd seen James Brown and William Clarke

Music:

I love music.Right now, I'm digging on Johnny Guitar Watson, Jason Ricci and New Blood, Ben Harper, and stuff that I recorded (JD Bone and ED and the Bluepills). I'm also loving my favorite blues band in San Diego "West of Memphis".

Movies:

I watch Forrest Gump, Braveheart, and Back to the Future every time they're on. The funny thing is, I never watch the DVD's. . . and I own em.

Television:

I recently got cable when I moved. I like Dog the Bounty Hunter, Dirty Jobs and Hannah Montana. That's right... it's some wholesome-ass-shit. You got a problem with that? Family Guy and Simpsons are good. Hell's Kitchen makes me laugh. I love it when Gordon Ramsey says, "It looks like the dog's dinner".

Books:

I read many books by Stephen King and Anne Rice in the past 5 years. Last year I read a ton of science fiction by Isasc Asimov. I just read 2001, 2010, and the Octavia Butler collection "Lilith's Brood"

Heroes:

Rod Piazza, (look him up. he's the biggest influence on my playing and attempts at showmanship). Arnold. So he's a fat rich politician now, but he started as a bodybuilding god. He helped bring bodybuilding up from "freak show" status, then made a million in real estate before he got into movies. Then, he conquered Hollywood. Then, he married a Kennedy, and became governor of California. If that's not "living the American dream" I don't know what is. Listen to Jason Ricci's "Snowflakes and Horses". I hate to admit to heroes that aren't way older than me, but he may qualify.

I like Ice Cube

It seems out of character, but I like Ice Cube, Shaggy, and I used to really like Public Enemy.  I guess it's my generation. . .

vanity plates

I think it's really stupid when people get vanity plates that say the model of the car they drive.  Hey dumb-ass... Your car has a badge already telling everyone what it is.  Does any car no...

procrastination

chinchillas

Have you ever seen a chinchilla in person?  I saw one once in college.  My friend Steve knew this girl who kindof looked like Shelly Duvall (Popeye, The Shining).  So we went to her apa...
