About Me


Create your own custom MySpace Layouts
I live in Tallahassee, FL and still aspiring to escape this wretched place, but a pretty cool job and family keeps me grounded here for the time being. I am all about Florida State University , as I pretty much grew up on campus because my dad worked here for many years. I'm not a football fanatic and beer guzzler like most around here, but I do enjoy watching games if its the Seminoles or the Tampa Bay Bucs ! Which hasn't been a good thing this football season, god could it get any worse?? I am a grad student working on a masters in Information Technology from the FSU College of Information , I also work full time doing a tech support for a department on campus. This makes me a very busy guy so I don't get much time for fun, but hopefully all the suffering will be worth it eventually.
I don't get to go out partying like I used to, but I hit shows down at the Beta Bar and Floyd's now and then when someone interesting is performing. I also do some computer repair on the side for extra cash, and love taking long road trips when I get the chance. Once I finish my masters in 2008 I plan to escape this shithole for greener pastures, most likely up in Atlanta or in Central Fla somewhere. Either as an IT manager or a professor at a small college, because I enjoy helping people and always get good feedback whenever I do occasionally do training courses at FSU. I'm very laid back and try not to sweat the small stuff, and I'm usually logged in while I am at work so drop me a line if you see me on!

My Interests

I love going to concerts, art galleries, national parks. I love to take long road trips whenever I can, which ain't often enough! I also hit a lot of estate sales looking for stuff to sell on Ebay, its a fun hobby and it makes me extra money which is always a good thing. I'm very much an animal lover and love to play with them. I'm always thrilled when I see wild animals appearing in unusual places, as a kid I used to catch snakes all the time in the woods. I'm also very much into history, in fact I originally planned to major in history before I somehow ended up working in computers. I love visiting historical sites such as battlefields or museums when I'm traveling, and have visited the smithsonian in DC several times now and want to go back for more! Yeah I'm a strange guy I admit it, but at least I have a job and don't live with my parents! That counts for something right?

My World Visitor Map!

I'd like to meet:

I'm looking for some cool new friends who share my interests, which is kinda hard as everyone in this town is obsessed with beer and football. I'm not a typical guy so I'm not looking for a typical girl, I like the punk rock'n'roll bad girls actually. As long as they aren't too outta control or too clueless, as I do enjoy intelligent conversations. Most of the time it seems I'm too normal for the weird girls, and too weird for normal girls. There has to be a girl for me who fits that happy medium somewhere! I was raised in the south so I'm very much a southern gentlemen, well at least most of the time. :)

Or if you meant famous people then Ozzy Osbourne, Rob Zombie, Geezer Butler, Bill Clinton, Alice Cooper, John Waters, Trey Parker, Matt Stone, Peter Bagge (actually I have met him), James Brown, Marilyn Manson, Dave Chappelle, Tank Abbott, Tito Ortiz, Quenton Jackson, and of course Christopher Lee!

Oh yeah and if we ever have children I hope this is how they turn out!!!

Music:

.. width="425" height="350" .... width="425" height="350" .... width="425" height="350" .... width="425" height="350" .... width="425" height="350" .... width="425" height="350" .... width="425" height="350" .... width="425" height="350" .. As far as my favorite bands you can just look through my friends list on the right, I've found myspace to be a great place to keep tabs on what my favorites are up to. So my top eight is usually the bands that I am really into at the moment, so it tends to get switched around now and then.
As you can tell from my musical tastes that I'm very much into old school punk and metal, would like to talk with others who are into the same. However I do like all kinds of music, I also love old school R&B and funk, techno and even some rap though I'm not too familiar with the artists. I seem to listen to classic rock most of the time I guess, Ozzy and Alice Cooper were my childhood heros! I used to be really into the punk scene when I was a teen, I've seen some great shows in my life, and spent plenty of time in the mosh pit! I have two tattoos that I came out of there with, and I still love them! I've kinda mellowed out now, mosh pits are too painful anymore. Though I still like to hit a show once in a while when a new or old favorite comes somewhere near. I used to try to hit Ozzfest every year, but now that Ozzy is not performing I don't know if I'll go anymore.,

Some of the bands I really like: Led Zeppelin, Alice in Chains, Ozzy Osbourne, Thin Lizzy, AC/DC, Slayer, Beatles, Black Flag, Henry Rollins, Blue Oyster Cult, Cheap Trick, Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, Danzig, Misfits, David Bowie, Dead Kennedys, Deep Purple, Devo, GBH, Halford, James Brown, Jimi Hendrix, Joe Walsh, Johnny Cash, Kiss, Kool And The Gang, Louis Armstrong, Marilyn Manson, Meat Loaf, Melvins, Metallica, Ministry, Motorhead, Nazareth, Nirvana, Pink Floyd, Queen, Iggy Pop, Reverend Horton Heat, Rolling Stones, Rollins Band, Circle Jerks, Rush, Sammy Hagar, Scorpions, Stray Cats, Styx, Tom Petty, Triumph, Van Halen, Voivod, Rob Zombie, White Zombie, The Who, ZZ Top, The Ramones, Green Day, The Clash, SoundGarden, Prince.

Movies:


Oh man don't get me started on movies, we'll be here for hours! I like good Sci-fi movies the most though they are hard to come by these days, and good horror films. I also love Team America World Police, War Of The Worlds even though Tom Cruise kinda ruined it, A Dirty Shame, and also South Park, Wild At Heart, Army Of Darkness, Heavy Metal, Nosferatu, Repo Man, Pulp Fiction, Lord Of The Rings, Alien & Aliens, Night of the Living Dead, Dawn Of The Dead, Day Of The Dead, Land Of The Dead, Pink Flamingos, Female Trouble, Polyester, Shadow Of The Vampire, The Matrix, Star Wars, Blade Runner, Dazed and Confused, Up In Smoke, Pink Floyd The Wall, X-Men, Spiderman, Army of Darkness, Evil Dead, Back To School, SLC Punk (that movie could be my autobiography), Texas Chainsaw Massacre, any of the old Hammer horror films with Christopher Lee, I grew up watching old B&W horror movies and still love them! If you are a true movie fan then you must check out Angry Alien for the Bunny versions!

Television:



Books:

Well with my job all I seem to read anymore are computer manuals, and you don't really read those they are used more as a reference. However back in the day when I had free time I used to enjoy reading a lot. So I will make a list of books I have really enjoyed during my lifetime: Dracula, Frankenstein, everything by H.P. Lovecraft, most of the Robert E. Howard library, Band Of Brothers, Deviant (book about Ed Gein), Lord Of The Rings, Interview With The Vampire, The Vampire Lestat, Queen Of The Damned, Dune, Neuromancer, Count Zero, Mona Lisa Overdrive, Dune, Starship Troopers, Stranger In A Strange Land, Call Of The Wild, Huckleberry Finn, Alas Babylon, Catcher In The Rye, the first few books about Don Juan by Carlos Castaneda (I think he started making it up or went insane after the third book), Great Expectations, several Hunter S. Thompson books, and most of the Edgar Allen Poe works.

Heroes:

My heros are those who stood up and either won or lost their battle, or did something that shook up society or even contributed to it in their own way. Some of them are are Muhammed Ali, Matt Stone and Trey Parker, Larry Flynt, Benjamin Franklin, Robert Crumb, Jimi Hendrix, Sid Vicious, George Washington, Ozzy Osbourne, Geezer Butler, Tony Iommi, Bill Ward, Marilyn Manson, Redd Foxx, Richard Pryor, Elvis Presley, Bill Clinton, Theodore Roosevelt, John F. Kennedy, Harry Truman, Mark Twain, H.P. Lovecraft, Edgar Allen Poe, Hunter S. Thompson, William S. Burroughs, John Waters, Sam Raimi.

Someone famous once said "Never try to meet your heros, they will only dissapoint you".
