My Interests

I love classical and alternative music; I like some rap (only the good shit), R&B, rock, and pop. I'm also an avid reader.

I'd like to meet:

New on Amazon.com's Kindle: KARMA INCARNATE and MALEFECTUS (Revised and Re-Edited)(Paperbacks) READ EXCERPTs NOW AT AMAZON.COM img src="http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/ciu/f8/2b/6e 0681b0c8a0928f525a9110.L.jpg"

Television:

I hate to admit it, but I can't get enough of reality TV; but I also like dramas (Heroes, The Sapranos, The Wire) and cartoons (Family Guy, Futurama, Metalacolypse, Venture Bros., 12oz. Mouse, Tom Goes to the Mayor, and of course Code Monkeys).

Books:

I've read all of Nietzsche's major works, and almost all of Sade's. I've read--at least twice--everything written by Ian Fleming, except his Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. Also Edward Gibbon, Victor Hugo, Blaise Cendrars, Thomas Mann, Nikolai Gogol, Edgar A. Poe, and Voltaire. As you can probably guess, I've got a jones for dead authors.

Heroes:

Friedrich Nietzsche, Vincent Van Gogh, Marquis de Sade.

The Weight of the World (What Atlas Teaches Me)

I can imagine that when the titan Atlas first took the world on his shoulders, the weight of this burden, despite his great size and strength, must have seemed unbearable; the agony caused by this fea...

Bon Vivant

Smug looks silly on a man. Only woman wears it well.

Slight of Hand

Some artists use gimmicks to make up for their lack of skill; this is typically why the worse a singer is the more bombastic he must be onstage, often accompanied by a whole troop of hoofers and backg...

Devil May Care

I don't know. I've read all of Fleming's Bond novels at least twicein fact I've studied themand it troubles me that another author is claiming to write in Fleming's voice, which is of course absurd:...

Mirror, Mirror

Vanity is not an absolute; it has degrees. For instance, masculine vanity is not as extreme as feminine vanity (and by these terms I mean natures, not genders): in public, while passing a reflective s...

What the Oracle Told Me

"Good news is never as definite as bad news almost always is."

How the Media Works

Report something enough times, and what is possible will become plausible, and what is plausible will become true.
