My interests are scattered across the four winds. Music, Art, Literature, Games, Sports, Movies...
Music
All over the spectrum... from Tool to Willie Nelson to Stevie Wonder to Vivaldi... A lot of downtempo, such as Enigma, Morcheeba, Thievery Corporation, Massive Attack, and Portishead. A lot of industrial, like Combichrist, Unter Null, Heimataerde. Recently expanding my music tastes to include bands like Beirut, Her Space Holiday, and Devotchka
Movies
Also all over the spectrum... There are several movies that I watch repeatedly. Recently repeated movies in my house include Boondock Saints, Pulp Fiction, Snatch...
Television
I don't really watch it... Reality shows killed television programming and office conversations both with one fell swoop. Why do people in the office feel compelled to jabber endlessly about some jackhole they saw on Intervention or American Idol?
Books
Another broad variety... Shakespeare, Charles Brukowski, Dean Koontz, Stephen King, Frank Herbert...
Heroes
Batman... wait, REAL heroes?
My parents. They told me that the reason they never had another child was because I was such a hellion. It's a wonder that they never sold me to gypsies. I love them dearly. (My parents, not the gypsies. Although I'm sure the gypsies are very nice people.)
About me:
If I could have any job in the world, I'd be a successful writer. Until I can drop more than a short story onto paper, though, I'll settle for what I do now.
The most important thing in the world, to me, is laughter. Someone who never laughs is someone who can not be trusted. Someone who has lost their laugh is someone is need of assistance.
Love might be second-most important. But if I had to choose between a non-laughing-someone who loved me without question and a platonic friend who always made me laugh, I'd take the friend. They'd be a lot more interesting.
Who I'd like to meet: I think I've already met Her. Now I just need to figure out what to do about it.
Hello, friends. Inviting you to Headliners this Saturday, July 11, 10 PM, for a benefit for Robert (our guitarist) Walker's mother. She has RSD I and Dystonia, as well as a brain tumor, so as you can imagine, the expenses are vast. All proceeds go straight there. Door prizes, raffle, etc. The show is $12, opener is The Modern Society, from Atlanta. Please join us to have a good time and help the Hinges family. Thank you. -Josh
I trust you will not regret attending our Rock and Roll show at Five Points Pub Nov 22nd at 10 pm with Hoots and Hellmouth. We guarantee you will enjoy yourself! Good times my friend, good times.
Hello, there. We'd like to invite you to a special 2 night event at 5 Points Pub on July 11 and 12. It'll be Josh Roberts and the Hinges, Scott Baston and the News Architects, and Woodwork Roadshow both nights. One night tickets are $10, shows start at 9, but if you buy a ticket for both nights for $15 you get a free booze and food party at 8 each night. Good deal, eh? We're excited and we hope to see you there.
Hello, there. We request the honor of your presence at Headliners on Friday, May 16th with Part Bear and Sleep Therapy, for a good old-fashioned Rock and Roll show. It will be fun, I'm telling you. -Josh Roberts

There comes a time... In every man's February 2nd... When he must decide... Good? Or Evil... (Bum-Bahhh Bum-Bum-Bahh) On February 2nd, the choice... Is yours...
Hey man... we really enjoyed the party! It's cold as hell up here, but we've been loving every minute of NY. The biggest surprise: EVERYONE is friendly (actually, beyond friendly). It's kinda sad... but I'm almost ready to say these "Yankees" are far more congenial than Southerners. Plan a visit!
hey stuck! sorry i missed your party. but i'm going to maybe have another lasagna night soon, if you are interested. might do it this weekend, even. hope you had a great holiday season!!!!
