Likes: hanging out while having coffee and ice cream

Best kept secrets til' now: In 2001 I wrote a book and recorded 5 (what some might call) rap songs (I call it spoken word over a backbeat). My friend Olles review of the music (after he'd stopped laughing) went like this: It's like a skit on Saturday Night Live. You sound like Rodney Dangerfield. The book got mixed reviews. Those who finished it really liked it and those who didn't.......well.... did not like I guess.
In my defense I also recorded my first album and got married that year so it was quite productive.

Prize possession: my lap top

Useful invention: ice cream, toilet paper, the lap top

Is there life in space: Probably but I so don't care

Conclusion: Not much progress going on. In my studio I have posters of Kiss, Mötley Crüe and a fake photo of me and David Lee Roth. Elvis Presleys face is on one of my guitars. I still have a cheap Telecaster but not the same one. I eat ice cream like there's no tomorrow and when I go to parent meetings at my kids day care center I feel like they're talking about me.
