What the hell is going on here?

About Me

Why don't you tell me about you?

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Bands, fans, promoters, musicians, and anybody else who is involved in and or has an interest in music or the music business.

Music:

Just about anything besides Country and Hard core rap. Metal is my music of choice, but my tastes change from day to day. Music is the reflection of my life. I always want the music to be in sync with my mood and the events in my life. On any given day, I may listen to classical, New Age, Metal, Punk, Blues, Electronica, Dance (although I only dance when REALLY drunk) and whatever else suits my mood.

Movies:

Far too many to mention all the ones I like. Even terrible movies can secure a place on my favorite list if it reminds me of a good time or if I relate to it somehow. Lawrence of Arabia is one of my favorites. I also like some fantasy and sci-fi like Star Wars and The Lord of the Rings. But there are tons that I like so unless your really want to waste a part of your life you will never get back, don't bother asking for a list.

Television:

Most of my favorites are animated. Adult Swim on the Cartoon Network is a staple. I also have found myself completely enthralled with the new Battlestar Galactica. I like science fiction ok, but this show is very well acted and produced. At work and when I am just zoning, I love the History channel and National Geographic and Discovery. I like historical documentaries. I don't like to waste too much time watching TV. I would prefer to be doing something music related.

Books:

They should be read not burned.

Heroes:

My grandfather who's name I share.

People can suck it

I go out of my way quite frequently to help people out and it is not often that I ask for much. But it appears that everybody's day to day existance is sooo fucking important to them. That's fine. Tim...

Death of a dog

So my dog Bambi got hit by a car and died about a month ago. She is the one in some of my pictures on my site. I guess I blocked out a lot of my thoughts of her to get through the last few weeks, but ...

True Story

I hate the fact that a lot of times you have to go through all kinds of bullshit in order to reach a point where things begin to look good. I am glad to be where I am, but I sometimes question the rea...
