"So come back Woody Guthrie, come back to us now, tear your eyes from paradise, and rise again somehow, if you run into Jesus, maybe he can help you out, come back Woody Guthrie to us now"
Playing music, listening to music, recording music, playing guitar, looking at guitars I can't afford, looking at amps I can't afford, taking pictures of stuff, traveling to places that aren't in Knoxville, learning about places, history, the mountains, driving or hiking (western NC is a favorite spot), reading books, hockey, attempting to grow as a person, learning, and the season of Fall.

Current favs include Tom Waits, Wilco, Bob Dylan, Whiskeytown, Steve Earle, The Weakerthans, John Coltrane, Austin Lucas, Tim Barry, Chuck Ragan, and a slew of others as it would take my a while to compile a list.

About me: Music is pretty much my life. I play guitar in The Hotshot Freight Train (thsft.com). I've played in alot of other bands too that you have probably never heard of. I am very open minded. I love to go places, which is nice because the whole musician thing allows me to do that from time to time.
Make sure to tell Jenny that...I think she and her sister thought I had some kind of leg-up on the game because I play some guitar. I thought it was almost a disadvantage...hitting a button one time for a lot of riffs that are double-picked? It's a strange mentality to adapt to when you're used to playing on a real instrument.
You know it, cuz. A.C. had a song called "Living Colour is My Favorite Black Metal Band." Have you not ripped up some "Cult of Personality" on Guitar Hero III?
Have you seen Pineapple Express or Tropic Thunder? I thought the latter was especially hilarious.
And poppin' bottles...don't forget about poppin' bottles when you're stabbin' people, killin' people, bangin' chicks without rubbers, and all that, son....
