Music and Photography
On a live wire right up off the street...
You and I should meet

Music has become something almost as controversial to talk about as religion now a days. I know too many people who feel that main stream music is evil, and that record companies have some big secret agenda. I don't know much about that, and I don't really care. All I know is that if I hear a song and it moves me, then that's all that matters. Music has been one of the most important things in my life, and I'm not really going to let anyone elses jaded point of view get in the way of that.I'm a huge Smashing Pumpkins fans. It's one obsession of mine that I never could seem to get over. It's more of a sentimental obsession than anything else. It reminds me of the people I love and the places I love to be. It's just one of those bands that I'll never get sick of. Billy Corgan is one of the few people I'd do just about anything to meet. He's had such a huge influence on my life that I would love the opportunity to let him know that.Lately I've been listening to a lot of: Coheed and Cambria, Taking Back Sunday, Brand New, and Jack's Mannequin.Old Favorites that refuse to get old: Marilyn Manson, Bush, New Found Glory, Slipknot, Jimmy Eat World, Something Corporate, Saves The day, Sugar Cult, Incubus....and so on and so forth.
My favorite movies have somehow become cliches. The Crow still remains to be one of the best movies I've ever seen. The Nightmare Before Christmas remains a favorite. Pretty much any Tim Burton flick, I enjoy. Interview with a Vampire is absolutely amazing. I'm a geek for Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter are obvious musts.
As of late I've been getting into some strange movies. This russian film Night Watch is really awesome And I have found Miasaki films to be pretty touching.
The Movie Of Your Life Is Film Noir
So what if you're a little nihilistic at times?
Life with meaning is highly over-rated.
Your best movie matches: Sin City, L. A. Confidential, Blade Runner
If Your Life Was a Movie, What Genre Would It Be?
I'm not much of a tv person, but I am a cartoon junkie. Fosters Home for Imaginary Friends and The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy rock my sox off. Pretty much anything on TLC or the Discovery Channel...and last but totally not least Americas Funniest Home Videos!!!
Harry Potter totally got me. Now its an obsession I can hardly shake. I like to read a lot of non fiction. The long hard road out of hell (marilyn mansons auto biography) and The Embrace are probably my two favorite books.
All these years I was looking in the wrong places to find someone to idolize. For the past two years I have been faithfully remembering and mourning the loss of my grandfather. His life, and his death instilled in me a sense of motivation that ceases to leave me alone. My inate need to make him proud has pushed me farther and stronger than anything ever has and I know that I owe a great deal to him...
