Not much of a bookworm. Last books read: "Lost Hollywood" by David Wallace. Also been going back & forth between "Heroes & Villains" - a Beach Boys Biography and a great book about Punk Rock called, interestingly enough, "PUNK" by Stephen Colgrave and Chris Sullivan. You should read it - then maybe you'd stop listening to fucking Green Day, for Christ's sake.

-Are not people who get paid bazillions to dribble a rubber ball down a wooden floor in a gigantic, air-conditioned, Multi-Million-Dollar Arena - they're Policemen, Firemen, Soldiers, Teachers and anyone with the balls to to stand up to the legions of idiots & assholes that plague our existence. Don't let people push you around. Fight back. Don't puss out.
I raise my Flagon of mead to thee!
HUZZAH!
I'm a musician. A drummer, no less. No, you don't have to speak slowly.
I played drums in a really great band in 1996 called "Imperial Drag" that self-destructed during the making of our second album. The year we were on tour was the most amazing experience of my life. I'm really hoping my new band, Fantastic Black, will do the same. Tour, not self-destruct.
A silly video I made with a band I used to be in, The Fizzy Bangers.

Random Ickyisms
People call me "Icky" because when I was very young, my brother couldn't say "Eric", so he called me "Icky". I was in two bands with two Erics, so I just used that nickname to make things less confusing. I'm not trying to be like "Izzy" or any shit like that. Many people only know me by that name.
Yeah, I like Disneyland. A lot. I know it's kinda gay, but I don't care. If you like Disneyland a lot, maybe we can be friends. If you like Magic Mountain more, Maybe not.
I never really fit into any one group, which is kinda cool and kinda annoying.
I'm generous to a fault. I'll help you move, paint your house, pick you up from the Airport - just buy me lunch and we're cool.
I'm masculine in certain ways but also in touch with my "feminine side", which means I can use power-tools, build a bookshelf, work on my car and also cook and arrange flowers. I guess you could call me a "renaissance man". I'd prefer it if you didn't, though.
If you're kind and loyal to me, I'll do anything for you. Anything. If not - you don't exist.
I fucking hated the Pirates of the Caribbean movie. Hated it. I love Pirates, love the ride - hated the movie. Fuck that movie.
I love writing because I can express my thoughts - which are usually cramming their way out of my mouth like people trying to get out of a burning building - in a concise, focused and articulate manner.
I'm a lover, not a fighter, except if you cross me, in which case I'll hunt you down & kill you and drink your blood in the moonlight.

Kimle tanışmak isterim: Those who are talented and know who they are.
Those who are good, kind and compassionate.
Those who are open-minded and are into trying something different.
Those who are in touch with their inner-tard and don't feel that they need to "Grow up" and "act their age".
Those (men) who don't act all macho and live by some assinine, male "Code" that dictates that they can't show emotion and treat women like brood mares.
Those who aren't morbidly obese and crazy.
