I write and take photos for a few publications music and otherwise; most notably, METRO A.N.E. where I write the weekly Old Man Mike Column. If you have anything that you'd like covered or reviewed (books, music, film) or covered hit me up...
I'm also a freelance photographer doing everything from concerts, sports & portraits to alt/ models and photojournalism.

Trashy horror all the way. Ed Lee, Brian Keene, Simon Clark, David Moody, Jack Ketchum, Joe Mckinney etc. There are better authors to be found beyond your drugstore book display end cap.

A guy who is a little to old for this kind of thing posts reviews & opinions on music (extreme & otherwise) & pop culture. All while juggling responsibilities of family, job & spirtiuality.
I'm married to a woman who's out of my league. I have two kids; an extrovert & an introvert. I like trashy horror and music that nobody else seems to like. I can go from watching Billy Wilder to Takashi Miike without flinching. Likewise for music Ramones then Rachmananoff-Not a jarring thing for me. I'm a photographer by trade but like only about 1% of the pictures that I take because i'm a my own worst critic. I'm also fairly conservative in my worldview.
Who I'd like to meet: Edward Lee, Dee Snider, Brian Keene, Richard Simmons, Rob Zombie, John Waters, Henry Rollins, Brian Posehn, Oprah's best friend, Gayle.
Although, I have no idea what I'd say to any of these folks...

This dude is funny. Sometimes too funny, but thats better then being lame. Read his column in our paper every week, except this week. This week he was lame, but next week I promise he'll be funny and just maybe sexy.
I feel you are a strong candidate for the League of Mostly Amicable People. No specific skills are required, other than a hero costume... You still have a Luchador mask?
