Once upon a time I was in a rock band!



It's funny how things come back to haunt you sometimes! I was surfing the internet and someone had posted this on YouTube, anyway this is one of the bands I used to be in. This was our first album and I think we recorded it in 2001, but I would have to look to know for sure, during our touring days we opened up for Cold, Unloco, One Side Zero, Zac Maloy of the Nixons, The Feds, and others that I don't remember. We played a private party for Papa Roach and their touring manager wanted us to go on the road with them, but our self proclaimed manager screwed up the deal so it never happened. We almost got signed by the band Stained, it was down to us and another band and when that didn't pan out I walked away from the band. I left the music scene pretty bitter, I often thought it ruined my life, but now I realize it just postponed things for a while. I still play my guitar, but anytime someone tries to get me to get in a band I throw away their phone number! Lol, I have some crazy stories I could tell about those days but those should be kept in private.

Here comes The Darkness



Something made me think of this psuedo 80's band! LOL

106 miles on New Years day


The 11th annual Tailwind Cyclists New Years Day century started with 11 riders, most turned out 30-50 milers and only four of us went the full distance. It was a tough ride with brisk 15-20 mph wind gusts, but the temp was fair and the sun was shining! The four man squad included local strong man Todd McGeorge, Tailwind's John Mayfield, BMC/Walmart's Jacob Cauble, and myself. We started at the shop in Pittsburg and went to Girard, Union Town, Ft. Scott, Arcadia and then back home. Those guys pushed me hard, but I donned my poker face and did my share of pulls. I don't think they believed me when I told them I was hurting pretty badly. I was also suffering from soreness from Wii bowling during the New Year's Eve festivities, LOL. Believe me when I say we take our Wii bowling seriously! Anyway, what a way to start the year! I hope everyone has a great 2012, and I'm looking forward to seeing everybody at the races!
