I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

Badass guitarist, epic metal composer, overactive dreamer, all-purpose geek, not-so-ordinary weirdo.


My Interests

Music... mostly metal (though I can take a fancy to just about any music that's full of talent, power, emotion and general epicness), anything sci-fi and fantasy, old muscle cars and street rods (I was a gearhead in a past life), computers and geek stuff, fetish fashion and most things of a "not so normal" nature, gothness (I'm not goth, it's just an interest), androgyny, astronomy, corsets, shoes (the good kind), BDSM, latex, leather, DARK CHOCOLATE!!!, intellectuals, candles, kitties (Abyssinians in particular... I have 4 of the crazy critters), fog in the morning, things ancient, antique, Victorian and/or medieval, most things that could be described as "epic", artistic expression in many a form (it seems my psyche can't live without it)... oh, and how can I forget... there are few things in this world better than a good cup of coffee.

I'd like to meet:

I'm just here to look at all the pretty pictures.

If you want me on your friends list, know this: I reserve the right to deny you, delete you at random, take several weeks to reply to your messages, ignore you, look at you, research you, block you, love you, hate you, worship you, defy you, scoff at you, understand you, misunderstand you, drink you, eat you, or simply cook you in a giant boiling cauldron of lava.

By the way... the first band listed under the music section is my own personal music. Check it out sometime if you're ever really bored one night and want to hurt your brain with some kinda heavy, kinda weird, kinda unusual, kinda epic tunes...

"The only laws of matter are those which our minds must fabricate, and the only laws of mind are fabricated for it by matter."~ James Clerk Maxwell

DON'T think outside the box.

Instead realize... there is no box.Only multi-dimensional, infinite variations of parallel universes.Covered in dark chocolaty goodness.
