"I always wanted to be one of three things... Pro Skater, Video game counselor, or in a band that travels all over the place.
Well I got one out of three and I still skate. So I guess I did all right !"

I'm probably the best person you'll ever meet. I enjoy Alcohol, and Music. I also enjoy seeing rich people lose everything and having to live like the rest of us. I also love playing old NES role playing games.(which I never have time for) Two things I never have enough of are : Time and Money. I co-founded the Ray Gradys and Grady Core Records. I've played in many different bands and spent many, many months in a hot or cold van (Sometimes airplanes) with stinky dudes while traveling. all thanks to music.
I teach Banjo, Guitar, Bass, Drums, and design websites.

Who I'd like to meet: I'd like to have a time machine. Cause if I did, i'd go back in time to around the year 1400. I'd be here in what it we now call america. But of course i'd bring with me a whole bunch of the world's most deadly viruses. So i'd make i little trip to europe. (my time machine will be able to fly) Once i got to europe i'd spread my plauges and viruses ( that they had neither immunity or the technology to defeat ).
I'd also do the same thing to the rest of the world except for north america. Those natives in South america were pretty fucked up.( but first i'd learn their secrets of time and space) So I'd have to build a wall or barrier to separate the north american natives and the south american natives.
ok, now that all of the human population of the earth had been destroyed except for the natives of north america, I'd take a trip a few hundred years into the future and see what they turned out to be. And if it was shitty like other humans I would go right back in time and destroy them with my viruses as well.
I would spend the rest of my days on a peaceful planet with animals killing each other and causing each other pain ,much the same way humans do, but almost never more than they need to survive.
Now the only glitches in my scheme are two minor setbacks.
..1 If evolution is true, i might have to take out the primate population to ensure that human life would be next to impossible.
..2 If the space time continuum theories are correct, I would have never been born and the time machine never built, once i destroyed most of the humans.
But it would be a small price to pay.
So the moral of this story is... Hope and pray to your god of choice (cause they all hate me, I've talked shit on all of em ) That I never get a time machine. Cause we will have never been born.
THE END,
Earl-y
