This page is more or less like the "All About Me" sections of other web pages you might come across. Just a little peek into my thoughts, the things that keep me going, the things that piss me off, etc. I guess a brief history of my life is in order. Let's see here... I was born in upstate New York, lived outside of East Syracuse until I was 4 or 5 years old, then moved to Northeastern Pennsylvania where I reside to this day. I was the typical geek throughout grade school. I was the short, fat kid with glasses that was always being the teacher's pet. I went to a Catholic school with a full enrollment of less than 150 kids from first through sixth grade. I always hated Catholic school. We went to school just as long as public school kids, but we fit an extra class into each day (religion class) and took time away from learning something that we could use in the outside world. After third grade, we didn't even have nuns at the school. Regular teachers trying to teach us about a god they hardly know about for themselves. I would have been there through eigth grade, but the school had to close because none of the parents were paying the tuitions for their kids, and some secretary or accountant or something stole like $35,000 that was suppossed to go toward computer upgrading. There's a role model Catholic for you, huh? Anyways, I ended up in the local public school in seventh grade and I have been there since. There are so few open minds at my school. A few alternateen girls with half of a clue what's going on, a handful of hardcore kids that know what they're talking about (but we don't really associate because I'm not straight-edge and they all are) and two or three goth girls that are actually pretty cool.

I myself, I guess I'm a punk. I'm into G.G. Allin, DK, X-Ray Spex, Ramones, Sex Pistols, MisFiTs, NY Dolls, MC5, UK Subs, SubHumAns, Black Flag, all your typical punk bands.But I listen to reggae, jazz, blues, techno, classic rock, metal, classical, some other stuff I don't know how to categorize. As far as dress attire, I'm a fiend. The MisFiTs have always kicked ass in my book. I've gone through the liberty spikes, the mohawk, a dozen other hairstyles, but I've always loved the devilock and I've gone back to it. I wear my leather with the collar flipped up, a MisFiTs tee and black pants, topped off with as many of the biggest spikes I can find. It's fun. It seems like a big waste of time because there's really noone around to notice it, but I do it for me.

I keep a small circle of friends, we hang out, we party, listen to GWAR and battle to the death in Tekken 3 while consuming whatever the group has to offer. Sometimes we go to the one coffeehouse in my town that has shows, The Cafe Metropolis. Usually it's just some local band playing their 6 original songs and whatever covers they know well enough, but we've had a few well-knowns too... The Independents, Atom & His Package, Kittie, Digger, a few others. The Metro used to be a great place to go, but it's been taken over by a herd of 12 year old girls who have crushes on the local bands' members. It isn't worth dealing with that just to see a show. Additional options include driving around smoking our brains out, going to this waterfall in the mountains and... yup... smoking our brains out. Then there's trendy-sheepville station (the mall). Most of the time I just want to stay in and write a poem or draw or just piss around on the guitar for a bit.

Let's see, what else is there to say? Relationships, yes that hasn't been mentioned. I'm single and sort of looking. I haven't really had a lasting relationship in over a year. I keep meeting girls that seem cool, but then they either can't handle how much of a cretin I am, or I can't handle the person that they actually turn out to be. I've come to the conclusion that I doomed to die alone. I won't go out with a girl unless I consider her a good friend, but by the time I have built a strong friendship with a girl I don't want to mess up the friendship over a relationship. Caught between a rock and a hard place.

I guess that's all I have to say...
