OK, I'll play:

As of right now-

My favourite album
Grateful Dead- American Beauty, Bob Marley-Legend, Dire Straights-Brothers in Arms. Touch the point/middle of my existence, point out truths, show needs that must be met, show flaws we all have, and have great rhythmic and stylistic music


My favourite lyric
"Am I the victim or the crime?"
"You did not desert me my brothers in arms"
"I can change the world, with my own two hands"

My first gig
played-In church when I was 13 playing with my parents as the music section
attended-Reggae on the River

The book that changed me
Friedrich Nietsche-The Dawn
Karl Jaspers-Philosophy and Existence
Spender Johnson-Who Moved my Cheese?

Nietsche and Jaspers, though may often disagree with them on points, were seminal existentialists that helped me understand that my experience was qualified by my ability to apprehend the world, and that my perceptions were largely created by myself as well as received by myself.
Given that, I still had to make a sandwich when I got hungry.
Johnson helped me see that I needed to be proactive in making sure I could always get a sandwich when I was busy worrying about Being and Nothingness and got hungry.

My favourite painting
meh. probably a Dali

My style icon
Billy Idol. I mean, Come on!



My favourite place
Sitting at my drumset at a big show
my new office
on the Hill behind Blue Lake,CA where I can see the ocean, town, and the river

My favourite album artwork
Sublime-40 Oz to freedom

My idol
My name's James I make up y own slang
and I aint got no heroes cause I do my own thang

My alter ego
Jeffy Jim, hahahaha
