About Me


If I were... - I'd be...

--- Stone = obsidian
--- Tree = Yew
--- Movement = Falling
--- A Tool = Logic
--- A Color = Midnight Blue
--- A Human Activity = Dreaming
--- A Work of Art = La Morte D'Arthur, by Sir Thomas Malory
--- A weapon = Sarcasm
--- A natural phenomenon = Saint Elmo's Fire
--- A force of nature = A glacier
--- An animal = Coyote
--- A mythological being = Orpheus

I lack ambition for material success, instead directing my passion into art and people. My income is unimpressive, but I pay my bills and make room for generosity. I measure my wealth by the quality of my friendships and the variety of my experiences.

My Interests

writing and performing original music... reading science fiction, fantasy, classical literature, poetry, philosophy, and mythology... listening to music... meeting interesting people... socializing, partying, conversationing... art... gaming online or offline

I'd like to meet:

Cool and interesting folks to chat with or learn from......or if you'd like to sign my band, or publish my fiction, I'd like to meet you also.Oh, and if you wanna sell me something... or give away free shit like an iPod or whatever, don't bother messaging me. I know people. I will have you killed.And another thing... if you're some sexy thing that wants me to add you so I can hit a link to some pay-for-skanky bitches site; please desist. I'm not interested in paying real world money to masturbate to online skanks. If you want anything from me, you have to do it to me IN REAL LIFE. I don't pay money for sex... I pay in emotional suffering, just like any other self-respecting middle-aged bachelor.Oh, also, I rearrange my Top Friends every week or two. Sometimes I do it based on a theme. Other times it's pretty random. Just thought I'd mention it to avoid hurting anyone's feelings.

Failure, Cake, Led Zepplin, The Doors, The Who, Hendrix, Johnny Cash, The Cure, The The, R.E.M, U2, Peter Gabriel, Dead Can Dance, Nine Inch Nails, Patsy Cline, David Bowie, Simon & Garfunkel, Louis Armstrong, Hive Collective, Radiohead, Stone Roses... (and a ton of others, mostly from the 70's, 80's and 90's)

music of the 80’s

I keep seeing quizzes and surveys on the internet that ask "Are you a child of the 80's" - and invariable the only music questions that come up involve New Kids on the Block. Now don't get me wrong.....

The Execution

I unlocked the cellar door and opened it, allowing light to bleed into the cold concrete floor.  The prisoners stood squinting into the light, naked and pathetic.  I led them out into the ya...

FOUR: The rain still had yet to fall by the time I checked into the hotel next to the truck-stop in a little patch of gravel and high ground overlooking a nameless South Dakota town. Well, to be fair,...
