| General | **for my gig schedule, scroll a little down and to the right....i play solo shows every tueseay at THE MOON and every sunday at THE FLYING SAUCER**
here's what i like to do most.....
playing music
singing, playing with my dog, being annoyed, grunting, sleeping, silent contemplation, lounging, procrastinating, organizing, monotony, efficiency, gazing, bumbling, gluttony, gigging, drinking, chortling, rocking, snarling, growling, scowling, epiphanies, thinking about travelling,
let me introduce you to my family......
the eldest is hurricane, a black cat!
and his younger brother midnight
midnight's mommie was a full-blood border collie, and daddy was a full-blood cocker spaniel, so he'e either a border spaniel, or a cocker collie!!!
here's hurricane with his deceased younger brother (RIP)

sometimes i find myself wishing that i was more cultured....or that i could get into literature, philosophy, culture, sophisticated ideologies, and such.....but i guess i'm happy just being a ROCKER..
some things i don't like
girls who call each other 'girl' all the time
guys in bands who dress like guys in bands
idiot texans who throw cigarette butts out their windows
on a 104 degree day in the middle of a drought
you probably
girls who request 'something fast' or 'something i can
dance to' during my acoustic shows
democrats
republicans
anybody who thinks you can put a one word label on yourself and automatically be subscribed to a set group of thoughts and values
beer
clove cigarettes
the fact that when people request PINK FLOYD at a gig they
want 'wish you were here' 99% of the time, and
usually don't even know the name of it
people with cars that have a ridiculous amount of bass
thumping really loud
when people call my hamsters 'gerbils'
cleaning out my cat's litter box
summer in texas
mcdonald's food
mayonaise on a hamburger, and ketchup on a hot dog
runny scrambled eggs
crispy bacon
this music they call R n B nowadays
def leppard
war (the act...i like the band WAR)
the ramones
texas country
sublime
presedential election years
misuse of the word JAZZ when describing music
the fact that so many adults spend so much time playing video games
99% of the people that work at GUITAR CENTER

dr. pepper
humidity
tattoos, especially tramp stamps
when you have really good seats at a concert, and dumb yuppie fucks spend the whole time talking and drinking beer
being outside in texas in the summer
oasis, counting crows,
anyone who's ever referred to cross canadian ragweed as CCR
cross canadian ragweed, brooks and dunn, rhett atkins, and eric church
pat green
religion...i think it's interesting to study, but historically for every person it brings peace to, it brings unrest, suffering, and harm to another somewhere...and i hate living in the bible belt!!
people that don't know how to drive
texas summers
people who have their myspace profile set to private
