"Ziggy Stardust Ruined My Life!"

Hello Kids! This is just a little page to tell you what I'm all about. I was born on May 23, 1976 at Norton's Hospital in Louisville, KY. To sum up my school years, I was quite overweight, with glasses and braces. I got beat up a lot during the 7th and 8th grades, starting flunking every class when I got to high school, and played with two punk rock bands during my junior and senior years. I enrolled in college and dropped out the first year. (Didn't we know it would happen?) I was playing in a glam rock band called Perfume Bomb then, wearing lipstick and stiletto heels. Fun, fun... For the last eight years, I've been listening to the same records. Always David Bowie, Ramones, T-Rex, New York Dolls, and Joan Jett. I went through the punk phase around '93, getting into Crass, The Germs, UK Subs, etc. but I've since returned to my roots. I moved to Phoenix, AZ in 1996 just basically to get out of Kentucky!! It was quite an experience to move to an unfamiliar town, having to find friends and somehow stay alive. Like starting over...

These days I mainly just play music at home, practice the guitar, read some good crime fiction, drink beer, and socialize with friends and strangers. I've had a computer since last year and I've been learning how to use it. If I had any words of wisdom, I'd say: Don't rely on the opposite sex for ANYTHING! Don't wear baggy pants. Try to remember your parents' birthdays.
