I play drums in my band The Sods. I like documentaries. I love music, especially older punk, hip hop, and jazz. I like riding my bicycle. My favorite time of year is Spring. I don't eat meat. I like watching plays. I have 2 sweet rats named ChiChi and Thisby. I like to meet new people. When there's a need in the scene, I book and promote shows, mostly punk and hip hop. I've been doing that since 2001. The Man In Black by Johnny Cash is one of my favorite songs. I play drums, trombone, and guitar.

"Before I knowed it, I was sayin' out loud, 'The hell with it! There ain't no sin and there ain't no virtue. There's just stuff people do. It's all part of the same thing.' . . . . I says, 'What's this call, this sperit?' An' I says, 'It's love. I love people so much I'm fit to bust, sometimes.' . . . . I figgered, 'Why do we got to hang it on God or Jesus? Maybe,' I figgered, 'maybe it's all men an' all women we love; maybe that's the Holy Sperit, the human sperit, the whole shebang. Maybe all men got one big soul ever'body's a part of.' Now I sat there thinkin' it, an' all of a suddent, I knew it. I knew it so deep down that it was true, and I still know it.' Jim Casy, The Grapes of Wrath

Hey dude! How've you been??? Haven't talked to you in ages, and I've been curious as to where you're living these days! It's so tough to tell sometimes. Hope life's treating you well...it's definitely shared some good graces with me. I love DC with a passion and don't plan on leaving anytime soon. Let me know if you're ever out East for a visit, and we can get together. Take care, man!
you should totally share those photos with me. by the way, you and shawn were both in my dream that I just woke up from. And ..do you have any mullet photos? cause I don't. unfortunately. :(
Hey, here's the info for the services for Angeleka's mom. I know you live far away now and probably can't make it, but please pass it along to anyone who you think may be wanting to attend. Thank you, Douglas.
Teresa A. Davis 54, Indianapolis, died Jan. 18, 2009. Services: Sat. Jan. 24 at 5:00 p.m. in the Craig Funeral Home with calling there at 4 p.m. until time of service.
OHMYGOSH! That cracks me up! That's probably the best ring tone I've heard ; ) I gave it to my brother in-law and now whenever Emily calls him it goes off...she hates it but I think it's funny.
Doug-E-Doug! How are you?? I miss ya!! Are you still living in Ohio? Working on Grad School? Call me sometime soon, I'd love to talk ...better yet... come visit NYC!
ok i know life must still go on but you left and now im in chicago but no doug. so i come to the reality that you still owe me a nugget of truth on the present life of yourself. so i'm waiting and stop having a great time without any mexicans around its very selfish ahahahahahaha
hola. thank you for the wonderful note the other day. nyc keeps me crazy busy.. so if it seems like i havent written don't be upset. i like it here a lot, but i will admit that i am getting a little home sick. i just need to meet more people here and settle in. i know it's going to take time. wish it wasn't so expensive though. i miss you and hope you are doing well.
