About Me


I work really weird hours, listen to really weird music, and watch really weird things on the idiot box. I don't do "sequential storytelling," but I do read comics; and seeing Henry Rollins live is always, always amazing.

My Interests

Comics, Cult/B-Movies, Independent Film, Mixed Martial Arts, Music, Pro Wrestling, Sleeping, Traveling

I'd like to meet:


I'm interested in meeting people who are self-motivated and follow their own path, even if no one else "gets it."
Everyone has a freak flag; some are just a little more prone to flying it publicly than others.
Those complete strangers who are interested in being "MySpace friends" should send a message in addition to that random friend invite. Otherwise that just comes off as a little weird and the invite will be ignored.
