I am here for Dating, Friends and Networking

About Me

My life revolves around music (mostly PunkRock and HardCore)...going to shows, collecting vinyl-cds-tapes-vids-dvds-books-zines. I write record reviews for PROFANE EXISTENCE magazine, which is a volunteer gig. At this point I'm a typical wage slave working a job as an intern at a local radio station and hope to get a steady paying gig before too long. I love to cruise around on my motorcycle in the Spring/Summer/Fall and pretty much hate the winter. I like hanging out with my friends, going to movies, shooting pool/darts, and having a few (OR SEVERAL) pints here and there. I've been a committed vegetarian since 1998. Recycle, Reduce, Reuse, What goes around fukking comes around!..

My Interests

I love my cat above all things. She's as close to parenthood as I wanna get! PunkFuckingRock/HardCore, horror-splatter-freaky-fucked up-violent-drug movies, Tattoos/Piercings and live gigs are a close second....... Going to the pub, motorcycles, reading, writing and just simply hanging out with people are wot i do with the rest of my time.

I'd like to meet:

Interesting and intelligent people with similar interests. I particularily like people that can think for themselves and be who they are without worrying too much about what others think.

Music:

I've been a huge music fan since I was very young. I Started out listening to KISS, ALICE COOPER, BLACK SABBATH, PINK FLOYD and the RAMONES. Just before I reached High School I was beginning to get into MOTORHEAD, VENOM, CELTIC FROST and slowly got into PunkRock and HardCore. I've been to hundreds of shows over the years, played in a few bands and have an extensive vinyl-tape-cd-video-book-zine collection.

Movies:

Off the wall stuff always catches my eye. Old horror films are my favorite BY FAR..... from the classic B/W stuff to cult classics, and LOTS of splatter films. Some favorites are Nosferatu/Dracula, Frankenstein, The Wolfman, The Phantom Of The Opera, The Creature From The Black Lagoon, Both DR. Phibes movies, The Mad Monster Party, Toolbox Murders, The Fog, Eraserhead, Halloween 1 and 2, Night Of The Living Dead, The Exorcist, Rosemary's Baby, SUSPIRIA, Texas Chainsaw 1 and 2, Haloween 1 and 2, Friday The 13th 1 thru 4, The Shining, Salem's Lot, and my current favorite SHAUN OF THE DEAD. Some favorite actors would be VINCENT PRICE....MY ALL TIME FAVE.........along with some other great classix such as Bela Lugosi, Boris Karloff, Dwight Frye, Peter Cushing, Christopher Lee, Lon ChaneyJr. and Sr. , John Carradine and Oliver Reed. Some favorite directors are DARIO ARGENTO, Stanley Kubrick, George Romero, John Carpenter, Tobe Hooper, Wes Craven, David Lynch, Danny Boyle, Ed Wood, and Terry Gilliam. Anything having to do with music and/or having a great soundtrack will also get my attention....... Some favorites being This Is Spinal Tap, The Rocky Horror Picture Show, A CLOCKWORK ORANGE, High Fidelity, Velvet Goldmine, Quadrophenia, 24 Hour Party People, Trainspotting, Harold And Maude, THE ORIGINAL SUBURBIA (1983), Class Of 1984, Ziggy Stardust, Rock N Roll High School, The Hunger, The Doors, Rude Boy, Let There Be Rock, KISS MEETS THE PHANTOM OF THE PARK, Detroit Rock City , Trick Or Treat, The Wall, Eat The Rich, HEAD, and The Decline Of Western Civilization among others.

Television:

For the most part, TELEVISION SUCKS ASS...tho if I need to numb my overactive brain fer a bit and music ain't on the menu I watch Six Feet Under, Dexter or Miami Ink.... tho I prefer the stuff I grew up on including old Star Trek, Twilight Zone, The Monkees, Monty Python, The Young Ones, The Muppet Show,The Munsters, and The Addams Family....along with lotsa 60s/70s Cartoons like SCOOBY DOO WHERE ARE YOU?, The Beatles, Star Trek, The Flintstones, Godzilla, Spaceghost, Tom & Jerry, and The Weird And Wonderful World Of Sid And Marty Krofft...IE; DR. SHRINKER/LAND OF THE LOST/THE LOST SAUCER/FAR OUT SPACE NUTS/ELECTRA WOMAN AND DYNA GIRL/H.R. PUFNSTUFF(PUFFING WOT STUFF?) etc.......

Books:

The Primal Screamer by Nick Blinko is one of my all time favorite books that I keep reading again and again and again...I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT! Anything to do with CRASS or RUDIMENTARY PENI will always make my want list. I've read Shibboleth (My Revolting Life) and The Diamond Signature (& Death Of The Imagination) by PENNY RIMBAUD of CRASS several times as well...along with Write The Way Up by DICK LUCAS.......One of my favorite past times used to be going to places like Half Price Books and picking up a ton of stuff....... but I find myself doing that less and less because I feel like I'll never catch up on it all. I mostly read music or movie related stuff ( Over And Over And Over Again). The last few were biographies on Shane MacGowan, The Ramones, Jim Morrison and Frank Zappa.

Heroes:

I don't like the word hero, I prefer to believe in myself...........but people I admire and find inspiration from would be Frank Zappa, Alice Cooper, Dick Lucas, Nick Blinko, Syd Barrett-Roger Waters, David Bowie, Edgar Allan Poe, H.P. Lovecraft and the late great Philip Parris Lynott.
