  Oh yeah ... and I also like the people who come out to see Midwest Conspiracy!
  Being unattached to a single girlfriend is cool too ... more fun to be had!  And
  ... Pepsi!

  Dislikes: Mean people, people who don't respect our band's right to play and polish our music, ghetto rap (because they have to say their
  name in every song), my bandmates trying to dictate my drum beats, posers (people who try to be something they're not), and people who
  trash our band for playing metal music!  And number one on the dislike list ... I hate all boy bands (Backstreet Boys, N-Sync, O-Town, 98
  Degrees, etc.) ... they're annoying!!!

  As you have probably already noticed, I'm the drummer for Midwest Conspiracy.  I'm really excited about the new band, the new members,
  and the old members (even my brother ... hee hee).  Together, we have a new sound that people really seem to be responding to in a
  positive way.  I have played the drums for almost four years and love it!  I feel I have really grown as a musician and look forward to
  continually improving my drum skills.  I like watching and listening to other drummers so that I can learn new drumming styles and techniques.

  Now ... time for the thank you's.  I want to take this opportunity to thank Mrs. Kemp, my high school music teacher, for her help in my
  growth as a drummer.  I also want to thank those who stick up for my drumming style when critics who don't know how to play anything but
  the radio feel the need to make nasty comments!  And, thank you to my parents, Armon and Karen, and most of our neighbors, for their
  support and for putting up with our loud practice sessions.  The unsupportive neighbors have arranged for us to know the Box Elder police
  officers very well.  But for some reason, they don't want to come over to our house anymore ... practice interuptus ... DENIED!
