~~Number of candles that appeared on your last birthday cake?
37

~~Date that you regularly blow them out? (in other words, when's your birthday?)
During this month!

~~Pets?
None now. I LOVE dogs. I even like cats. Exotic fish are very cool. I wish that my boys could enjoy dogs, but it turns out that TBearbrat (my wife) is horribly allergic! We have tried it all, no go. To bad we did not figure that out before we adopted a dog and cut a nice hole in the house for that special electronic automatic dog door!

~~Tattoos? Piercings?
And you would see it beneath the hair? Not a chance! Once, I did decide to pierce my own ear. Me, a bottle of JD, and a surgical post. Took my 5 times to get it straight (no joke). Must be why it was always infected. The hole covered, no one can tell, and I am ok with that!

~~Where do you live?
Sunny SoCal!

~~Favorite food?
Hmm. Good question. I have been a fatboy, and a slimboy, both following the rules that you would associate with the physics. I suppose that my nirvana is a pizza, a pitcher of beer, and a bazillion quarters for my kids to play all the games that their heart desire.

~~Ever TP'd someone's house? 
Sure!

~~Ever loved somebody so much it made you cry? 
More than I care to remember. I cry.

~~Ever been in a car accident? 
Lol! I AM A GUY!

~~Croutons or Bacon? 
Croutons.

~~Sprite or 7up? Coke or Pepsi?
7up. I don't like colas.

~~Favorite Movie?
I am not a huge movie guy. I would never buy one. I enjoy watching them and being lost for a few hours, but I don't have a favorite.

~~Favorite holiday?
Christmas. I have no respect for religion (sorry to those I offended), but the giving and care of Christmas has long since transcended the original meaning to become a true family celebration. I love that celebration, and do EVERYTHING I can for my kids to make it great for them.

~~Favorite word or phrase? 
Damn kids.

~~Favorite toothpaste? 
Mentadent

~~Favorite restaurant? 
"That Pizza Place"

~~Favorite sport to watch?

Hockey

~~Favorite Sesame Street character?
The Cookie Monster

~~Disney or Warner Bros.? 
Who carries more sports?

~~Favorite fast food restaurant?
Cut that out when I did the 50 lbs in 90 days diet. Never went back. OK…WHEN I PORKED IT WAS TACO BELL!

~~When was your last hospital visit? 
When my baby went on IV for dehydration.

~~What color is your bedroom carpet? 
Creamy white?

~~How many times did you fail your drivers test? 
Never

~~Which single store would you choose to max your credit card?
If I ever would do that, it would be some type of music store. I am anal about my cards and pay them off monthly.

~~What do you do most often when you are bored? 
I am rarely bored. I always have projects waiting for me. I dink in my studio a lot playing music when I really have spare time.
    

~~Most annoying thing people ask you? 
Can you help me with my computer?

~~Favorite all time TV show? 
News.

LA Kings. SD Chargers. I like my home teams. I am a goofy community kinda guy.

~~What was the first album you ever bought (VH or otherwise)? 
Kiss Alive (1)

~~If you had to take three albums to a desert island and they had to be non VH.....which ones would you take?
Big Wreck "In Loving Memory Of…", Freddy Jones Band "Lucid", Seal "Seal (1)" this week…

~~What musical instruments do you play? Tell us about any bands you've been in...
Too many of each. Now I play mostly guitar, bass, keyboards. I have been in Jazz bands, trios, orchestras, new wave, name it. I loved my cheesy cover band "Biasbier" (Buy Us Beer) that I was in recently. We all had day jobs and did it for fun. I quit wanting to be a rock star way back when I almost became a rock star.

~~What's the funniest/weirdest/most memorable thing that's happened during a gig?
Funny? Hmmm…my humor is different than most. I will have to think about it. One memorable moment was when our band opened for the Plimsouls at one of our high school dances. The Plimsouls were scheduled to do 2 encores, but after they stopped the crowd started to chant for our band. The Plimsouls got pissed and left. They were later sued for breech of contract. I thought it was cool that my peers had that much respect for our band. 

~~Talk about how you discovered the PD and some of the people you've met as a result...
I was just fishing around for VH information. I have met a lot of Domers thus far, and enjoyed every moment of it. It is interesting to meet the "real" people that are often very different, but still cool to know.
    

~~When did you first become interested in VH? 
I became more seriously interested after the 1984 CD was released. That is when I put down my bass and bought a guitar. I had Eddie down pretty good in those days.

~~What are some of your personal interests (hobbies, etc) that we don't know about? 
I am really a jack of all trades. I work with my hands a lot. I keep my computer skills low key because of the favors that I am often asked to do, but honestly I could dink with technology forever. I also enjoy working with wood and have made some pretty cool things around the house. I did model airplanes for a while, but I sucked (excellent builder, bad flyer). It sucks losing a plane that I worked on for 6 months in the first 5 minutes of flight! I love hockey and still play. I have a lot of Saltwater aquarium experience and still enjoy that, although I have none set up now. 

~~Talk about how you met tbear. 
TBear and I met in the break room when we were both working in 24 Hour Fitness' corporate center. She asked me out and I shot her down saying that I did not date people that I worked with (which I did not). A few months later we were bangin' like rabbits. So we quit our jobs!

~~What would you like your legacy in life to be? 
For my children to remember me and talk about me to their children and grandchildren.
