About Me


I'd rather write than read,

and I'd rather film my own then watch someone else's,
and above all I'd rather sleep,
... but then again, I've always had trouble sleeping

Film, Movies, Fencing, Comedy, Nerds, Technology, Satire in society, Writing, and trying to have a good time

On attachement...

I'm not really sure where this impulse comes from. I have heard speculation that it is a by product of our hunter gathering instincts. Then again, I can understand the concept of a person securing the...

Estrangement with a musician (x-posted on LJ)

A few days ago I found out my musical mentor and former bandmate Clint had an aneurism and passed away. I've been wrestling with his death for a few nights now. Particularly the disappointment of not ...

Cow Turd (just a little ranty)

I have a lot of bullshit in me today for some reason. Most of it having to do with people that are fake. I know this word gets thrown around a lot, but I think it's about time I address it. I'm tired...

All that for a lapdance, and then he just ran her over anyways

I saw deathproof last night. Still trying to figure out why they would waste that much film on anything. So horrible. I can't believe that was in theatres. -tony

Tony is Mellow...

Dragging the dead horse is less effective then getting back on it

You can't get much more emo than this...

So I broke three blades this week, cost me like $150 dollars. I imagine I'm channeling my rage through my fencing as it's been a pretty shitty month. That may sound like a good release for me, but unf...
