About Me

"I shall mock all you hold sacred and hold sacred all that you mock."
~D.P. Gillespie

"The Otaku, the passionate obsessive, the information age's embodiment of the connoisseur, more concerned with the accumulation of data than of objects..."
~William Gibson

"Undoubtedly, one of the first revolutionary acts of visionary feminism must be to restore maleness and masculinity as an ethical biological category… we must define maleness as a state of being rather than as performance. Male being, maleness, masculinity must stand for the essential core goodness of the self, of the human body that has a penis."
~bell hooks

"Ultimately what we're touching is the invisible, all-pervasive Intelligence that surrounds us and penetrates us. It is grooming us to be able to tolerate its splendor. It can't just reveal itself openly because we would be forfeited; we'd never know what hit us."
~Terence McKenna

Luminous beings are we, not this crude matter.
~Yoda

He's a plumed serpent soaring through the galactic night. A modern day troubadour descended from a long line of bootleggers, horse thieves, and warrior poets. A cheshire cat drunk on absinthe and howling love songs to a full moon. He's a demon on the dancefloor and an angel in the sack. He wrestled the Ballard Bridge... and WON! All in all a high powered mutant, one of the goddesses own prototypes, never intended for mass production; too weird to live and too rare to die.
