Personal
Holy shit! I just realized I am have been working on this site for over 5 years. Well some things have changed since I started this. I have gotten to spend many evenings with the band, I believe that the first time I actually met the guys was at a show at the Pig Pen in Clinton, Iowa. I think that was the first time I talked to the guys. Johnny, Kenny and Peter was very cool, Josh was sick that night and turned in early. The next time was at the Rave in Milwaukee Wisconsin, after the venue not letting me shoot that night Johnny let me hang out backstage before, during and after the show. I had a shirt that I airbrushed for my daughter signed by all the guys and I remember Josh saying he would never let his kid wear anything TypeO. About 2 months later I met up with Johnny again at the Rave and setup something for my daughter to meet him in Chicago. Oh yeah, my daughter was born in 2000 and like TON. We meet up with Johnny before the Chicago show on the tour with Cradel of Filth. Then in December I got an email from him about a show in DesMoines. Yes another show backstage and drinking with the guys.
Something I did not related to Type O Negative In February of 2004, I got a phone call from a friend that lives in DesMoines, he told me about the Slipknot video that they were going to shoot. I made a few calls and later that week I received a phone call from the production company. I was to show up at Valley West High School at 5am and be availible all day long. Off to Des Moines I went, around 9:30 we wrere dropped off at this little red brick house. We shot many takes of different things, it rained, we ate pizza and in the afternoon, I was inside the house during a few takes. About 3 months later, the video for Duality was released. I spent the better part of a day watching the thing and finally found myself. During the inside shots of Sid, just after Joey body surfs through the crowd.
The last time I was out with Johnny was during the Chicago and Minneapolis shows with Danzig.
That was an update, here is the old shit.
Ever since I heard the following I figured what the fuck... 'Childhood is over the moment you know you're going to die.' So... What the fuck, I'm 27 years old and have been living the life I have always wanted. I like tattoos, I have a few. I'm patient I spend alot of time thinking about what I want to have. I started with the skull and bones from Metallica 'Binge and Purge'. Most recently I got the Slipknot tribal down my back. Alot of people today seem to want to tell you what to do or what to say. 'I don't do that shit', I try to be straight up and to the point. If I don't like you, you will know, there will be no question about it. My views on the government, 'Get the fuck out of my life' I can't stand some fucking lyer pushing there views on the people. Thinking they know me or what I am thinking, bull-shit. I like to drink, and drink alot, Jack Daniels and that's it. As far my favorite bands go, besides the obvious. Disturbed, Danzig, Metallica, Motley Crue, Sevendust, Zombie, Kid Rock, Jackyl and uh probably Slipknot to name a few. Why do I like these bands? Don't really know, lately I have noticed that style of bands is very differing. Some reach out and punch you in the face others sit back and tell stories. Nothing really makes sence. Type O Negative is probably the most peaceful music I listen to. Their style is unique, have seen them many times but until about 4 years ago I never liked them. They opend for Motley/KingsX in 93 or 94. Honestly, I thought they sucked. But, when I seen the 'Girlfriend' video it all changed. I don't know why but I somehow started liking the shit. And now I have this crappy website for the band. What the Fuck??? Why do I listen to some of the others? Good fucking question, I don't have an answer to. They all seem to put me in a grove or mood. Slipknot from the first time I heard this shit it was infectious. From Ozzfest to Y2Kaos seen quiet a few shows and then some more. Nothing but extreme! I have a whole room full of shit from promo posters for bands to pictures I have taken. They say kids think they are invincible, they probably are in their minds. Like I said I'm 27 years old, the one thing I have learned, life is not fair. But why wallow in it. I don't want this to be some 2 bit winey bull-shit sob story. So there is alot of shit in a persons life and alot of life to live. So if there is anyone out there that thinks that they have it bad, and life is not worth living (grow the fuck up!) Maybe nobody really gives a shit about anything I have to say, but look, your at my site and you are reading this. So here are some pics.
