About Me


"Innocent? Is that supposed to be funny? An obese man... a disgusting man who could barely stand up; a man who if you saw him on the street, you'd point him out to your friends so that they could join you in mocking him; a man, who if you saw him while you were eating, you wouldn't be able to finish your meal. After him, I picked the lawyer and I know you both must have been secretly thanking me for that one. This is a man who dedicated his life to making money by lying with every breath that he could muster to keeping murderers and rapists on the streets! A woman... so ugly on the inside she couldn't bear to go on living if she couldn't be beautiful on the outside. A drug dealer, a drug dealing pederast, actually! And let's not forget the disease-spreading whore! Only in a world this shitty could you even try to say these were innocent people and keep a straight face. But that's the point. We see a deadly sin on every street corner, in every home, and we tolerate it. We tolerate it because it's common, it's trivial. We tolerate it morning, noon, and night. Well, not anymore. I'm setting the example. What I've done is going to be puzzled over and studied and followed... forever."
~ Kevin Spacey's character in Seven
My name is davegunn.
Locally infamous; everyone around here knows my name and hates me for one reason or another; new gossip is sprouting every day and the harassment never ends.
Lots of bridges are burned, I pretend people don't exist, and the majority of friends I've ever had have left me.
I'm still straightedge; this means no addictive drugs, no alcohol, no smoking, no promiscuous sex, and no unhealthy dietary habits.
I'm vegan; for animal rights, environmental preservation, and physical/mental health.
I'm an angry and militant atheist.
I live an obsessively environmentally-friendly lifestyle; a caring and conscious consumer, I recycle everything, and don't use plastic bags anymore; living green and sustainably is really important to me.
I'm madly in love with an amazingly flawless girl named Burgundy, and even after all we've been through over the past three years, I want to be with her and only her for the rest of my life. She is perfect.
I'm very politically conscious and side mostly with the left, though I see the faults on both sides and hate the two-party system; I'm a registered Independent and will be voting for Barack Obama (though I wanted to vote for Kucinich).
My politics: I'm anti-sexist, anti-racist, pro-gay, pro-abortion, anti-war, supportive of assisted suicide, supportive of the legalization of drugs, believe rapists/pedophiles should be castrated, supportive of free national health care for all, anti-capitalist, anti-nationalism, against borders, against the curing of fatal diseases, and believe that 9/11 was an inside job.
I survive off of disability checks and food stamps, in exchange for living on my own and not really having a family.
I'm overweight but live very healthily; I'm a new member of Planet Fitness and love riding my bike for hours on end.
I'm a self-taught synth player and am in what I label as an 'Experimental Emotive Nintendocore' band called Chaos Con Queso; we have played tons of shows, released an EP and full-length, are touring soon, and this is what I want to do with my life.
I book shows for the Albany area and have worked with some of my favorite bands, bringing new music to the local scene for a change.
I'm pissed the fuck off about everything.
I'm a dysphoric, cynical, angry kid clinically diagnosed with depressive mood disorder and severe social anxiety; currently taking Lexapro for this and it's working out for the most part.
I'm misanthropic, anti-social, introverted, and don't trust anyone; completely disinterested in humans; I am full of fucking hate.
I write a lot, write poetry, compose music on the keyboard, enjoy photography, and can play drums on a keyboard better than your band's actual drummer.
I am a lover of the arts (all of them).
I am a lover of independent film, underground music, and obscure subcultures.
I say what I mean, wear what is comfortable, think for myself, and don't care about what you think.
Jason Edge is my best friend.
My two cats mean the world to me.
For the most part, I'm bored, lonely, consumed by regret, nostalgic over better times, and on the verge of breaking things or crying; I am alone a lot and rarely leave the house.
I'm terrified of parasitic insects, heights, and black people.
Love, nature, and not being part of the problem are the three most important things in my life.
I want to kill myself and just might one day; it'll be your fault, too.
My AIM screen name is xBigUglyLoserx .
I write in a LiveJournal .
This is my band:
This is my DIY booking agency:
This is a drug-, god-, meat-, and crew-free clothing line I help run:
WATCH THESE! LEARN THINGS!

I'd like to meet:

Open-minded individuals and free thinkers that are from anywhere. People who don't do drugs. People who are above religious ignorance. People who don't eat meat. People who can spell and punctuate properly. People who are sceneless and have an independent fashion sense. People with personalities that aren't byproducts of the TV shows they watch and the, "beauty," magazines they read. People who don't pledge their allegiance to the United States of America. People who don't need to lie or exaggerate. People with blunt, brutally honest personalities. People whose MySpace pages aren't over-ornate with huge images and ridiculous backgrounds that will freeze my computer for five minutes. People who are just like me, except more fun and attractive. People who will restore my faith in humanity, if only for a moment. Amazing people who don't know they're amazing. People who are as lonely, poor, depressed, and as suicidal as me. People who don't have more than me. People whose lives are as shitty and fucked up as mine.I WANNA MEET RICHEE FROM SWITCHEE AND HUG HIM FOR MAKING BETTER MUSIC THAN MSI DOES. I have the girl that I want/need, by the way.
