I'm Jerrod. I love the smell of rain. I love the feel of wet grass in-between my toes. I love late night conversations about nothing at all. I love listening to my amp feedback for hours. I love watching little kids run with sparklers. I love the feel of her warm hands running all over me. I love the smell of the ocean. I love comic books. I love Animals. I love restoring old Muscle Cars (currently working on a '69 Corvette Stingray with a Big Block with my Father). I consider myself an activist for Animal Rights (but I hate PETA and the ALF. I do work with Greenpeace, Sea Shepard and the Whaleman Foundation), The Liberation of Tibet from China (I do work with Students for a Free Tibet), The Liberation of Israel to the Palestinians (I do work with the FPA) and Gay Rights. I love making music with my closest friends. I love listening to music and walking through the forest in the middle of the night. I'm a simple person, I like people for who they are not what they can give me. I don't bullshit you, I tell you what's on my mind. I'm quiet, I'm eccentric and over all a bit off. I'm grim and a little bit on the darker side. I play bass for Sturgeon and haven't had this much fun in my life. I'm a shining example of a bookworm. Talk to me, I'm probably bored or working so drop me a line.
You're going to meet the most extraordinary men, the sexiest, brightest, funniest men, and you're going to fall in love with so many of them, and you won't know until the end of your life who your greatest friends were or your greatest love was.

xChrissyxBearx (8:05:43 PM): your smile kills me
This is Chrissy, she's my loving and wonderful gal. She gives soft kisses and her hands are warm and loving; having them run up and down my back is Cloud 9 for me. She always smells like gum and her kisses taste like candy. She's got the cutest laugh. Her eyes are a perfect brown, warming everything in her sunny gaze. He nose is so cute; I take it from her constantly. I love this girl; more than anything, more than any of you could comprehend. She's the reason I can stand getting up every day. She's my Panda, My Bear, My Cuddle Buddy for Life. She's MY Chrissy and I love her Bunches.

I know it's cliche but first and foremost my friends are my heroes. They take care of me and put up with my shit. They keep me going when I feel like giving up. My friends all have my heart.
Mike Anderson: This kid is Just Awesome. When I feel shitty he gives me it straight in a very down-to-earth tone. If it wasn't for this kid I wouldn't be pushing the envelope every day to become a better person as well as a musician.
Blake: I love this kid. We may not hang out much outside of the band but his genuine enthusiasm just creates a feel good atmosphere. This kid is better than any therapist.
Tony Mack: This kid is pretty awesome. Very laid back, 100% drama free and would never lie to me even if he was paid. This kid is the most generous and giving person I've met to this day and having him around brightens my day.
Justin Cameron: This kid is pretty much the shit. I've known him since I was about 7. He may be a hardass and a little full of himself but he balances me out and keeps me in check when I take shit too far.
Shawn Delehanty: He may not know it but he really does make my day pretty awesome. He can always revert things to something ridiculous and he can force you to smile no matter the situation. This kid is 100% grade-A Magic.
Chumble: He's just Chumble. Need I say more?
Josh W: This kid is family. He can be a bit much at times but he's fucking real and a blast to be around. I can't tell you how many good times I've had with this kid. He's juggalo family and we've been through quite a bit of shit together. Friends may be friends but Family IS Family. Wicked Clowns till we're dead in the Ground.
Tahra: Who else would keep me from snapping in Zoology class? She's the only person I know who I can actually talk to about soccer and Doctor Who in the same conversation. She's a whorefaced freak but you gotta love her for it. ..

Mastodon: Their music captures a sense of adventure that I've only experienced when reading Conan or Moby Dick; Vivid illustration through lyrics and brilliant soundscapes created by layered guitars and brilliantly paced drums. They make innovative music and still avoid being pretentious twats like most of the Progressive Music Scene.
