About Me

Currently I'm working as a freelance/contributing writer for the River Cities Reader and as a master control operator for a cable station. In my spare time, I'm working on a script/screenplay in hopes of reviving the Midwest Massacre horror series. It's a modern-day, retro-cyberpunk stalker tale of murder, revenge, child abduction, satanic ritual abuse, snuff videos, CIA telemetric-mind-control-hypnosis, blood, and spit. I'm also working on biography about a local community activist. And sooner or later I'll be getting ready to prepare to start thinking about recording my acoustic blues/folk metal album.

My Interests

Misanthrophy, Ordering weird shit off the internet, Chewin' Gum, Chasin' Skirt, Film, Music, Chicago White Sox Baseball, Conspiracy Theories, Sports, Horse Race Gambling, Journalism, Law, VHS, Strippers, Politics, Guitar, Booze, Analog, Comedy, Horror Movies, Video Games, Comic Books, Bug Collection...

I'd like to meet:
