Joe in HD!

The worst part of Punk is Punks.

About Me

I'm Joe.
AIM = JoeDamnRosenblum
I play drums in a band called RED SUN. I am a filmmaker. I love what I do. I have friends. I probably don't like the movies or music you do. Shit happens. I enjoy a good party or a good conversation and a pack of smokes. I am pro-legalization and pro-choice. Conservativism is poisoning this country. I believe in the Chuck Dukowski (Black Flag) philosophy of "What the hell, fuck shit up!"

My Interests

Music, Film, Reading, Making new friends, Keeping close with old ones, Idealism, Music History, Politics, Chocolate Milk, Love, Hate, Technology, Neuroses, Beck's in a bottle, Guitars, Photography, Manchester United, The Cleveland Indians, Art, Activism, Legalization, Nature, Parliament Lights in a box...
