I Plagiarize Life

About Me


WidgetPhreak, Site: Gameboy Games ..
Warning!!! If you came here looking for info about "Widget the World Watcher" then you suck... that little alien cartoon character was Big Gay... (curse the usurper of my name... or at least 1/2 of my name)
I'm a Boring Old White Guy who Loves Gameboy, Atari, and other Ancient games. I Love Videogame Music too. I make Videogame Music.
I'm a Nerd (ya think?!?!)
I used to be pretty artistic.
I'm not really much of a gamer, but I am into Manipulating Video Game Systems into doing things that they weren't originally intended for.

I'm excited by people with Good Musical Taste (see the side panel for my musical taste) I'm obsessed with obscure electronic music, I'm way to moral (although My morals aren't based on religion). I'm a nice guy, really...
I'm not into cars, or money. I mostly wear T-Shirts and Dickie's (the kind that actually fit me, and have cargo pockets to hold the ridiculous amount of Widgets that I carry with me). I'm a riot, A Party waiting to happen.
I also have no goals.I have a staring problem. Apparently I'm also creepy.

My Interests

Computers (PC DOS ("check the Config.sys in the DOWAS setup... You hit CTRL AWALT... on the KEYBOAWRD it's AHWA-SOME)), Linux and Mac.. although I'm definitely leaning towards Mac since I got one)

Making Noises over and over again at the request of my loved ones. The 1950s /60s, Pop-art, Pez Dispensers, Old War Propaganda Posters, Experimental Music, VideoGame music. Indie Films, morals. . Circuit bending (IE. taking children's toys apart and modifying them to make them into musical instruments through "creative short circuiting").

I'd like to meet:

I don't need to meet anyone... My current friends are enough. You can talk to me below if you want.

Music:

The Music Genome Project.

Venetian Snares, Enoch Light, Nat King Cole, Terminal11, Daedalus, Dntel, Dub Narcotic Sound System, Enon, Modem, Bjork, Portishead, Wisp, The Flashbulb, AphexTwin, SquarePusher, Bodenstandig 2000, 8-bit Videogame Composers,

I Heart Talk Box

Movies:

I don't know why but I like cheesy movies where the main character or multiple characters break the rule of the 4th wall, and talk to the audience.

Star Wars (gotta admit classic trilogy was better), Eternal Sunshine of the spotless mind, The Matrix (only the 1st one). Fight Club, 12 Monkeys, Being John Malkovich, Adaptation, What Dreams May Come, AI, Back to the Future. Short Circuit, Crouching Tiger, Amelie.

Television:

Invader Zim, Ren and Stimpy, The Simpsons, Family Guy, Animaniacs, Looney Tunes, Garfield, Ducktales. (wow i just noticed that all I like is cartoons)Arrested Development, Scrubs

Books:

1984, The Twits, Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy, Dirk Gently, Dr. Rat, The Fan Man

Heroes:

I really don't know. I don't have any heroes in the "Mariah Carey Song" sense of the word. I certainly don't look up to my father, or any of the people who were supposed to be role models (teachers, coaches, rulers of countries etc..) I guess I look up to artists. People who think outside the box. My friend Mike is a musical genius. I guess i look up to him although i wouldn't say he's my hero or anything. Oh and where would I be without my mother. I guess she's my hero. Yeah that's it... my good friends, and my mom... those are my only heroes.
