I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

"He is a hard man who is only just, and a sad man who is only wise."
I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4

My Interests

Music, guns, literature, writing, concerts, intellectual conversation, traveling, drinking, ethnic foods, old houses & older graveyards, insanity, promoting, piercings, gaming, hunting, friends, DJing, Goth/Industrial scene, photography, tattoos, strange movies, stranger people, creation, destruction

I'd like to meet:

BANDS - Best way to get free advertisement from me is to contact me in order to send promotional materials. 36 Demons (see 36Demons.com) is *the* Goth/Industrial production company & dj collective in St. Lous. I don't accept friend invites unless A) I really like the band and/or B) You're willing to work with 36 Demons, i.e. sending promotional materials & possibly booking shows.

EVERYONE ELSE: I'd really like to build my network with other Goth/Industrial DJs, promoters and fans. If you're into or interested in the Goth/Industrial scene send me a friend request. I'm not interested in being 'collected' by friend whores & if you can't think of anything worthwhile to say to me we probably shouldn't be friends.

You are Death

He who makes a beast of himself...

gets rid of the pain of being a man. We are what we make ourselves, we become what we believe. It's a thought both inspiring and frightening. I've seen it in the dreams run rampant over the last ...

Complacent in my communication...

of late, so now I write purely for writing's sake. It's been an uneventful week, for the most part. Last weekend was frantic, and I got the chance to enjoy the company of several I hadn't seen in some...

Death in the valley...

rejoicing in the hills. Last night's Requiem was intense, to say the least. Despite a massive showing last week at Voltaire the multitudes ventured forth, my chosen nightcrawlers showing in force. The...

Karma kiss, troubled souls...

It finds a way to exert itself. So it has, and so it shall. Afflict another with your wickedness and it will find it's way back to you, in the form of an agent or the form of the barbed and tangled we...

happy. I am surrounded by amazing people, full of talent and potential and incomprehensible beauty. I think I made it a step closer. Perhaps it gets easier, as the distance made adds up. There is...

The Big Voltaire Gig...

Went incredibly well last night. If you didn't show up - well, I can't even begin to tell you what you missed out on. The place was packed and the crowd was great. There were many new faces, all dolle...

Careful what you hold near & dear...

The absence...

Some things never change...

I spent last night downtown drinking with a good friend of mine for many years. We were able to pick up where we'd left off, without missing a line, as though it hadn't been two years since we'd been ...
