About Me

At the time you read this, chances are I'm contemplating a kitschy lifestyle of making CD compilations, eating at hip L.A. holes in the wall with Bianca, being outraged with the state of the world, failing to write a blog, chasing my cat Naginata through bead curtains, madly motoring in the minimalist Mocha Mini, dreaming about ramen, or suffering from severe ennui.

To learn more and possibly upset your stomach, peruse DeadLounge.com; please include your favorite Taco Bell menu item, shoe size and flightless bird preference.

I also intend to delve into the world of authorship, particularly in the realm of heroic fantasy literature, and have created a page for my written work. Please feel free to peruse my work posted online.

My Interests

Fine cigars, single malt whisky, tattoos, rave culture, goth culture, lounge and tiki, old anime, LOLcats, rebutting fundies, pretending to be hip, subtle sarcasm, penguin spanking, priest baiting, and laughing with bunnies.

I'd like to meet:

... someone who will not constantly call in favors from corporate assassins... I tire of the bribes, the ducking of bullets which then strike innocent people and their grocery bags, the hospital escapes, and the ominous phone booth calls... and for schist's sake, all the blood... and someone who will love me despite my multiple freezers filled with clown parts... did I say that aloud?

Take our Quiz. Brought to you by Lord Boron and Polarbeast.
