| It all began when... I was just some dork from Budd Lake, NJ. Well, I still am a dork, but now I know the light. Have you ever read a book that changed your life? Well, I haven't either, but I grew attached to Beavis and Butthead when it was on the air. Without Beavis and Butthead, I would have never been opened up to real rock music. I learned about such bands as Tool, Gwar, Metallica, and KoRn. Even after this, I was still ostracized from my fellow peers for being the disgusting little kid in the corner. I believe that I am finally being accepted by some, but I confuse many others. |

| Interests that i have I am mortal too, so I kill time several ways (including outdoor activities). Of course, music is a big interest to me. I enjoy listening to it, creating it, and playing it. The genres that I enjoy are the vast with bands: metal, punk, hardcore, and ska. Along with this, I play bass guitar (did you think I played tambourine?). Some people say that I am good, but I prefer not to judge myself. I never got lessons, but I learned some scales and notes on my low-end automaton. I also experiment with guitars, and other stringed and percussion instruments at the local Music Den. I even know how to play guitar since my little brother plays it. My other big interest is skateboarding. I do suck at it, but I still know some grinds and stalls and only a few flatland tricks. My favorite Bands... I have my favorite bands, which may be very different from my cohorts'. Of course, most of the bands I really like are also accused of sardonic lyrics and enormity. I like hundreds of punk and metal bands (literally) but my favorites (in order) are: SlipknoT, MuDvAyNe, Metallica, The MisfiTs, S.O.a.D., Linkin Park, Pennywise, Hatebreed, Tool, Fear Factory, Nothingface, Sublime, Samiam, Rancid, Figure Four, Papa Roach, Disturbed, Rancid, Pantera, Snot...la la la...the list goes on. Of course, you also have to respect Ozzy Osbourne, Glenn Danzig, Max Cavalera, and Les Claypool; the heroes of our time. I would also like to remember the fallen ones that showed us true music: Brad Nowell, James Lynn Strait, Kurt Cobain, Joey Ramone, Randy Rhoads, Cliff Burton, Hillel Slovak, and all others who I have sadly dropped there names. That is pretty much it. ~L8r. Oh...I can make waffles. Just thought I'd add that. |
