This Is me
ok, this is me:  soon to be 26 years old, almost 6 foot tall, blue eyes, about 170lbs. i play guitar and write songs,  music is a HUGE part of my life.  i listen to just about any kind of music except for 95% of all country, and i really dont like any and all boy/girl pop bands.  some of the bands i like are: The Beatles, The Doors, Jimi Hendrix, Jackson Browne, Jimmy Buffet, Janis Joplin, John Prine, Freedy Johnston, Sublime, 311, No Dount, Eric Clapton, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, The Violent Femmes, Dag, Wookie Foot, Baby Fox, Harvey Danger, Ween, Weezer, Ben Lee, John Hiate, Ben Arnold, Soul Coughing, G-Love and the Special Sauce, Mike Watt, Van Morrison, CCR, CSNY, CSN, Niel Young, James Taylor, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Bob Dylan, The Eagles, Brian Setzer/Stray Cats, Santana, Billy Joel, Patsy Cline, Willie Nelson, Queen, Black Lilly (my dads band), Don McLean, Long Beach Dub All Stars,  Dead Eye Dick, Reel Big Fish, Beastie Boys, Everclear, Smashing Pumpkins, Jayhawks, Marcy Playground, Faith No More, Counting Crows, Lemmonheads, The Ziggens, Oasis, Cake, Rage Against The Machine, The Mommas and the Poppas, Bob Marley, Moody Blues, The Cowsils, The Police, Sting, Green Day, Semisonic, Dave Mathews Band, The Lovin Spoonful, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Live, Cat Stephens, 420 All Stars, Jefferson Airplain, Stepenwolf, Wesley Willis, Tom Petty and the Heart Breakers, John Lee Hooker, The Metro All Stars, Roy Orbison, Diana Ross and the Supremes, Junior Brown, Keb Mo, Roger Miller, The Who, The Band, The Wallflowers, Steve Miller Band, The Monkeys, Candle Box, Loudon Wainwright III, Steelers Wheel, Donavan, Elvis Costello, Jack Johnson, Nickel Creek, the White Stripes, Donavon Frankenrieter, Pepper, the Raconteurs, and a few others i cant think of.  like i said, i love music, though i dont listen to the radio, i think its horrible.  so instead i lug around 400+ CDs, (50 or more are sublime alone).  I have over 200  songs of my own work, though probably half of them are just flat out bad. i've been writing for around 10 years and playin guitar for about the same amount of time.   I love cars, being out in nature, trying to work on computers, technology, love/being loved, Marilyn Monroe (hottest women ever), guitars, Dr. Pepper, and some other stuff that i cant think of.  fun stuff huh, its amazing what boredom can produce.

the Mini, other favorites, and my own cars
a few other interests of mine are Michael Crichton,  i love Edar Allan Poe, i think my favorite poems of his would be Lenore, The Raven, and Alone.  another great author is Jack Keroac and Allen Ginsburg.  i love movies, car movies are always good, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, The Usual Suspects (anything with Kevin Spacey is good in my book), Akira, The Crow, American Beauty, Space Balls, any Monty Python movie, Clerks, the Breakfast Club, Ferris Beulers Day Off, Wierd Science, the Italian Job (original and new, of course), American Beauty, Where the Buffalo Roam,  and a bunch others.  Quantum mechancis and physics are two interests of mine as well...there's somethin to be said about learning how everything in the universe came into being.  lets see, recent news...i got a mandolin for xmas, so i'm learning how to play that and learning the Eukeleli, and harmonica. i cant watch most TV anymore (its so terrible, like the radio), except for That 70's Show, The Simpsons, Family Guy, Futurama, and the Conan O'Brian Show.
