Net of Being print - This isn't a picture of the actual print but I grabbed it online because it's higher resolution. The original is done by the artist Alex Grey, who does all of the album art for the band Tool.  They are one of my favorite bands and this is a visual representation of the collective unconscious. - Mind Blown

Randall Amplifier - A friend's dad was going to throw this 1970's Randall bass amp away because it had water damage.  I picked it up a few years back and had intended to restore it for awhile but didn't until late last year.  I fixed the wood, wrapped it in "snake skin," replaced the speaker, and a couple other things.  It was a lot of work but was well worth it because no one has something that sound's or looks exactly like it.  In a perfect world I would save it if my house were on fire, but I would probably die because it weighs a ton. - Phat Bass

My Car - There's nothing that I've devoted more time to than my baby.  She's an absolute joy to drive but I would not wish the maintenance upon anyone.  I used to be an out of control driver and speed excessively but do not as much as I used to.  It was an outlet for me when I was younger but i guess everyone grows up...maybe. - Anger Incarnate

Bass - This is my five string bass that I've had for awhile.  I got an Ibanez because my favorite bassist at the time was Fieldy from Korn.  I was in a band in high school and like most, we broke up because of "creative differences."  I go through phases of playing and not playing but i will never give it up completely. - Memories

Golf Clubs - These are my golf clubs.  I've played since I was eight but trust me, I'm no Tiger Woods.  I've been on and off with golf just like playing the bass.  Most people tell me that they don't have the patience to play or it's boring.  Playing is one of the only things I do that can completely clear my mind. - Serenity

Anyone that knows me well knows that I am a big fan of Alex Grey's work as well as Tool's.  I love having my music turned up and wanted it to look like the amp was producing the picture through sound waves.  As I'm driving towards the source of the sound, the shear power is destroying my car.  I left my clubs in the back just in case I want to play when and if I get to wherever I'm going.  The image is more distorted the further you get from the amp to show the power diminishing.  Finally, my bass is in the upper-left hand corner plugged into the amp (there's a cord but it's hard to see).  I put little sparkles of light around it to imply that some ethereal being is playing it.  

I'm not sure what that says about my identity...maybe that I should take my ADD meds again.  I would say that music trumps all else in my life in terms of importance.  It's gotten me through hard times but is also great for the good and everything in between.  The picture doesn't say anything about my love of computers.  I mess with them a lot but I didn't feel that a computer fit anywhere.
