I have an interest in the absurd as well as the avant-garde. My main focus is writing music and words but I also like the occasional platter of someone elses creation. I enjoy movies that appear to be missing a screw but in detail are actually the more profound. I enjoy putting myself in situations that are a strain on my being - to get out of this would only supply me with more inner strength and self worth.
I collect CDs from all different genres. I read quite a bit from mixed genres and mixed topics.
I don't like stupid whores that advertise that they are stupid whores via fashion trends:
Music:
Cea Serin sound files , Avant-Garde and Metal: Dream Theater, Samael, Cradle of Filth, Dornenreich, Zero Hour, Seraphim Shock, Killswitch Engage, Lord Bane, Ark, progressive metal, black/death metal, Yanni, Ute Lemper, Sarah McLachlan, Casey Stratton, Loreena McKinnett, Sarah Brightman, Josh Groban, Kiri Te Kanawa, Angizia, Devil Doll.
