About Me

I'm a Marine living back in my hometown of Cutlerville, MI. Yes, I'm a Cutlervillian! Woo! Anyway, I digress: I'm kind of a big deal...people know me. I like to do a lot of things, mainly practicing my drums and working out...exercise keeps me sane. Sooo...about me? Hmmm...well, I am head of a large social network in the greater Grand Rapids area, but ask around and no one will be able to tell you who I am. I also model for refridgerator magnets and am also the critically acclaimed donut eating champion of the midwest. Ironically, I have been described as a dork.

My Interests

Lighting off fireworks and throwing them out the windows of a moving car, chasing my sister with a stick, playing with animal crackers while taking a bubble bath, and drinking beer in moderate quantities.

I'd like to meet:

FEWER ASSHOLES.

Music:

Music is my passion and life. By now, most of you know by now that I play drums in a band. We now have a name: Hookers & Hand Grenades. We play a mixture of different styles and are constantly striving to improve upon the sounds we make. We find that music is an element in life that no one can live without, therefore we strive to produce high quality material. What's that you say? Mike, why haven't I heard any of your music yet? Well, the answer is, we are poor. We do not have the money to invest in the equipment we need at this point in time, and there is another problem...we still need a singer. So basically, you can come hear us anytime, just tell us in advance, and be prepared to be there at 12 noon on a Saturday. Otherwise, we soon will be paying for studio time to record our tracks onto a cd to solicit to potential vocalists (who must own/have access to their own PA system). Please find the band MySpace page on my friends list and add us as friends! Thank you!

Movies:

I'll watch anything once.

Television:

The Simpsons, Family Guy, South Park, Oblongs, Futurama, American Dad, Court TV, The History Channel, & The Discovery Channel.

Books:

Any book by John Grisham or Dean Koontz.

Heroes:

Superman...and your mom.
