My Bad Habits: Teraps syndrome (I blurt out rhymes all the time), cutting, pushing my pain threshold, smoking, not letting go.

What I'm Listening To Nowadays: Well I'm really into trip-hop a lot lately, so I would go with Portishead, Massive Attack, Sneaker Pimps. Of course, I'm digging some Lamb of God, Sage Francis, Mushroomhead, NIN, DJ Rectangle, Wutang, RZA, GZA, Danzig, Cradle of Filth, Brotha Lynch Hung, Sratchpickles. My Ipod has strong Kung-Fu

Coolest Thing I've Done: The thing that really sticks in my mind is taking care of my father He was very sick from the time I was born. Mom and him split up, so there was no one else to take care of him but me. So I did everyday 'til I was 19 ... then he passed away. Nothing can compare to that, nothing.

Also my band Institution (www.institutionlive.com ) played The WLRS Fest this year. No other group of our kind has ever been selected to play a show like that.

Most Embarrassing Moment: One time when I was with Nemesis at a Halloween show, I cut a fetus out of my bass player's stomach with a chain saw. Good times....I also let him nail me in the dome with a guitar . Shattered over my head, knocked me out on stage. Come to think of it, though, I did set my turntables on fire once and had flames engulf my hands.
