Our troops, anyone who is musically talented.
I am with the rest of the people that get up, go to work, come home, go to sleep and get up the next morning and do it all over again. This working for a living really blows, huh? But since it is inevitable, I try to make the most out of life by surrounding myself with good friends, good people and good times.
Friends and Family are very precious to me.
My Grandparents are the greatest people on the Earth and I am so happy to have them. I can't thank them enough for everything they have done for me. They are the few people in my life, who I can honestly say have always stood by me, regardless of whether or not they agreed with my decisions.
Friends are extremely important to me as well. Without my closest of friends, life would be unfullfilling and meaningless.
I consider myself to be a fairly social person and always enjoy meeting cool new people, so feel free to drop me a line anytime.
Music means the world to me as well. If I had a choice between being blind or deaf, I would definitely choose to be blind, because I couldn't live in a world of silence. I am obsessed with WASP, but am also probably one of the biggest Power Metal nerds you will ever meet. I get made fun of it a lot, but I can't resist double bass, guitar harmonies and clean, tenor and high pitched vocals, singing about dragons, swords and steel.
Ha Ha!
But I do thoroughly enjoy any and all types of music, as long as there is effort and talent involved.
I like to think I am pretty open minded when it comes to music and am always looking for new bands to check out. So if you know of a band that isn't listed under my musical interests, please drop me a line and let me know.
Who I'd like to meet: I'm really not one for dying to meet famous people...they meet enough adoring fans as it is, but it would be pretty cool just to tell them how much of an impact their music has made on me.
Blackie Lawless, Roger Daltry, Pete Townshend, Ronnie James Dio, Alice Cooper, Jim Morrison (maybe in hell). Ha Ha!
Superman, Snoopy
I get along with pretty much everyone, so message me any time!
