Uh, yeah... title..?

Okay, music is pretty much my life, so let's get down to it... and don't just look at the pretty pictures, if you're here to find out about me, the only way it's going to happen is if you READ... 8(||:0)Beanie boy says "get going, foo!" I mean, I don't really know what to tell you about me besides I sit on my ass in front of the computer a lot, mostly when I'm in TMBGchat, the most happenin' chat that--, well, it used to be happening. I don't know what it is anymore. Right. And I talk to a bunch of people on AOL Instant Messenger. Oh, and I listen to music a lot. I mean, a lot. I go to concerts whenever possible, which isn't that often, mostly because my mom won't let me drive to Seattle by myself, or go to concerts by myself. But what can you do?

SKA SKA SKA SKA SKA SKA

The legacy begins... When I first moved to Washington, I was pretty much clueless to ska and punk music. My friend Zach changed that forever. He introduced me to the best Ska bands, including the likes of the Toasters, the Specials, the English Beat, Reel Big Fish, Less Than Jake, Skavoovie and the Epitones, Hepcat, etcetera.

No, this is NOT the kind of Toaster I'm talking about.

This is what i'm talking about, the Toasters.

Okay, so, like I said, I like ska, but, I also like punk music. My friend Zach also got me started on that. I had some Offspring before I moved to WA, but Offspring isn't REALLY punk music, it just sounds like it. Such bands as Rancid, NOFX, Subhumans, Operation Ivy, Pennywise, Voodoo Glow Skulls, Ten Foot Pole, The Offspring, the Vandals, ALL, and the like. Every day I discuss music with people, I learn of another punk band that's worth a listen. It's hard to keep up, but I try... My cd collection is in upwards of 200 now, and I'm not going to bore you to death with what CD's I have, but here are some notable groups that don't fit into the ska or punk genre:

1) Most notably, They Might Be Giants, which is by far my favorite band... I could listen to these guys all day every day and not get bored with them

2) I'm just starting to get into techno stuff, like the Chemical brothers, Crystal Method, Fatboy Slim, and Future Sound of London, so we'll see where that goes.

3) the rest of them: Cherry Poppin' Daddies, Pur (a decent German rock band), R.E.M., the Reverend Horton Heat, Squirrel Nut Zippers, 311, Zebrahead, and others.

Prom

Yep, here's my picture from Junior prom. I know what you're thinking... "What the hell were you doing at prom!?" Trust me, the same thought occured to me several times during the course of the evening.

I live in Washington in a little podunk college town, but not for too much longer. Once college starts up, I'm outta here. The place is not actually not that bad, it's more the people here that bother me. I've got a few good friends here, but not as many as I'd like.

I go to punk concerts whenever possible, which isn't very often.

I'm really not in the mood to go into a huge amount of detail, so that's pretty much it. If you wanna know more about me, I can usually be found either at www.tmbg.com/chat (you'll know it's me if i have "http://i.am/punkass/" in my profile) or on AOL Instant Messenger with one of my dozen or so SN's.

Also, that prom pic is a link to my crappy homecoming pictures, if ya really want to know...

Okay, you're in the home stretch. Here's a bonus pic for those of you who actually bothered to scroll down and look.

Well, lookie here...

This is me when I was I don't know how old. --> Wasn't I cute? What happened?

<-- Here's me now. Or I guess the most recent picture of me I'm going to have. If you really wanna see some more pictures of me, you can click on the new pic to a link to a crappy ghetto 2 minute page I made that's just pictures. I just took this picture mostly to get a good shot of my newest piercings, and to show off my metalfacedness. and my cool hair.

Okay, that's basically it... now, here's some links to enrich your life:

PS-- Many thanks to Limping Pigeon for the kickass TMBG graphic, and to Ninja, for steering me in the direction of making a web page at all, and for the constructive criticism, it's appreciated, as always.

Also, thanks to all the cool people at TMBGchat who entertain me, try to understand to me, do a decent job of it, and listen to me bitch all the time. (I think you know who you are, do I really have to go into it?)
