I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

THE LONG VERSION: Hi, I'm a jaded, cynical, drained, denizen floating among a mass of brainwashed lemmings of American consumer culture. While I don't have a trite and pleasantly acceptable niche carved out for myself in this society, I get by passably on the merits of my own capabilities, combined with a seething hatred of the imposition of forced labor by a corporate-owned country. I'm incredibly out of the loop when it comes to current pop culture, while still maintaining an attunement to societal change and social unrest, bolstering it where I'm able to throw a few well placed punches. And while I couldn't tell you what prime time TV is made up of, I can enthrall you with collections of action figures and video game knowledge that no woman in the universe can resist. I also enjoy sarcasm. I'm a slightly effeminate introvert with a desire to live for the moment while dreaming of the future. I've played music all my life and as fun as it is to boast instrumental talents to score brownie points with the untrained, I'd rather brag about how great I am at doing other stuff. While great may not be the most unbiased of words, it probably doesn't help that I'm talking about myself, naturally, unless I were a high school reject with my face painted up like eric draven staring in the mirror practicing my "mopey face" but since I have no self esteem problems, it limits me to only speaking in positives, unless i stop to tell you how much you irritate me.(That was all fluff and filler. Remember how I said I'm a fan of sarcasm?) I'm an aspiring writer, and verse myself in all forms of prose including a penchant for my own brand of journalism. Im the head writer and design team member for the IMMORTAL FLUX project along with the creator and my best friend Bil (Vaklam here in myspace) and hopefully we will have some more to show you this fall.THE short VERSION: I was raised in the frozen north by a pack of renegade ninja wolf pirates and unto me they bestowed the gift of eternal rocking and a vicious Ibanaz S series and a Dean Armorflame. Don't ask me why. I haven't thought up any answers yet. For now just accept my word as fact because if i were to even utter the simplest truth of mine existence, your mind would likely collapse in on itself and you would simply cease to have any cognitive capacities.....this may or may not be bullshit...

My Interests

Automatic weapons, swords (katanas and tai chi), explosives, Playing music (guitar, bass, drums, violin, piano, and the good ol voice box) reading, Anime, Japanese telivision, asian culture.

Anyone with a brain in their head, and are in addition to owning, able to operate said brain with at least an average amount of skill. If you are a master of the brain wielding science then by all means dont hesitate to kick in my teeth with your jeopardy-like fount of knowledge. Any fellow anime fans would be a wonderful addition as well as any musicians (this doesnt mean i want to add your band...I want to add people who enjoy playing music) and artists.

Put the kids to bed then set them on fire.

(first off, as a side note I would like to state that this is just a mixture of fire and bile, and while containing plenty of hostility, is meant merely for the purpose of entertainment. Enjoy)  ...
