Therefore we shall delve into the personality of such people. Demented and dysfunctional as they are.

What I'm Listening to Nowadays: Pete Yorn, The Glasspack, Queens Of The Stoneage, Echobrain, Tool, Kyuss, Mike Ness, OLD Van Halen and Porcupine Tree.

Coolest Thing I've Done: It would have to be walking into my old boss' office and sitting down wearing a work uniform. Then telling him I wasn't going to be a computer monkey anymore because I was giving my two-week notice, so that I could go be a rock star!

LOL the rock star part was a joke.

Most Embarrassing Moment:

When I was playing the Phoenix Hill Tavern with Whateverwill when my ex-girlfriend went crazy throwing ash trays, beer bottles, glasses or anything she could throw at me. Seems there was a girl who got up onstage to dance and the ex didn't take too kindly to her. So she decided to maim me for it. She got thrown out twice.
