Vadrian7 is feeling hateful---so you may need to reload me.

About Me

.. Black soul wilting in the arms of a dead tree. Black star shining in the sigh of a silver sea. Black hall descending through a half-kept eternity. Black heart beating these dark wings about me.I currently clasp a crumbling corner of the city while vainly trying to locate my niche in Life. What's a strangemale to do? If only sitting at home, reading, listening to music, painting, writing poetry and daydreaming about the perfect bachelor pad were lucrative career choices. Nothing else really intrigues me except exceptional food--and heading an army of angelic argonauts where, after we have dominated those that deserve it, I retire to my modern black castle on a cliff overlooking the sea and there I learn to play the piano, the cello and the violin.Myspace Contact Tables

My Interests

I am interested in Language, Art, Addiction, Angels(male/abstract), Anomalies, Afterlife, Extended Life, Prison Life, Psychosis, Telepathy, Telekenesis, Trees, Twilight, Technology, Theology, Mythology, Introspection, Counter Culture, Design (Futuristic/Modern), Dreams, Desire, Sex, Surrealism, Space, and spray-painting the whole world Black. I find enormous pleasure in Music, Reading, Writing, Cinema, Animation, Photography(black and white) I also really enjoy working on my Collages--all black and white as well--I have horded a million magazines for this pulp-heavy purpose. My forays into photography, painting, and whatnot are mainly for myself--just weird abstract stuff--I can't really paint or anything--they're mainly venting tools for me--a twisted type of therapy. Walking or sitting along Lake Michigan and staring out into it at dusk is a favorite activity of mine--the vastness of the water is soothing--from ashore. Though it's been awhile, I really enjoy bizarre/dark/fantasy/action/horror video games, unique platforming, and surreal and mysterious interactive puzzle worlds like Obsidian, Drowned God and Myst--and crossword puzzles. Architecture can be quite intriguing--I'm a bit of a skyscraper geek actually--visit SkyscraperCity or SkyscraperPage for an overtall overdose. Lastly, I collect Tarot decks which stems from a polite interest in Magic and various Otherness.

I'd like to meet:

Besides a very open-minded model for surreal photo shoots, I don't really care to meet anyone.
