About Me


Your Brain's Pattern
You have a dreamy mind, full of fancy and fantasy. You have the ability to stay forever entertained with your thoughts. People may say you're hard to read, but that's because you're so internally focused. But when you do share what you're thinking, people are impressed with your imagination. What Pattern Is Your Brain?
Your Sexy Brazilian Name Is
Renato Santos What's Your Sexy Brazilian Name?Plenty of things have changed since the moment I wrote in this space. It's quite hard to keep an up-to-date track of every single change, since the Internet has created a vague, yet persistant, belief on which we are the same people all the time. Come to think about it: The Internet is a big facade on which one's able to choose which parts (from our body, from our personality, from our lives...).I still go under the same nome-de-plume: J. Koshkat. I'm still in love with music, drawing, writing, reading and comics (I cannot imagine myself saying, at some poing of my life, that watching cartoons is "childish".) My father passed away on December the 16th, 2005. I recently quit my former band to start something new. I wish the best to them. I still love going to coffeeshops.Although most of the things I like are there, although there are no substantial changes in my lifestyle... I guess the perception towards these became more urgent and intimate. The Amazing Meganame Generator

You are Shirley Manson, frontwoman of the band
Garbage. Wheeeeeeeeeee, be happy! You're the
only actual girl on this list... er, at least I
*think* so. Your first album was reeeeeally
great, your second one not so much. You tend to
use electronic synthesis when you rock out, and
you did the theme song to "The World Is
Not Enough', a James Bond film. You've got a
liking for all things androgynous, and even
wrote a song called 'Androgyny'. Interesting
Fact: You've got body dis-morphia. Ouch. but
don't worry, you're purdy.

'How will you be defined in the dictionary?' at QuizGalaxy.com

I'd like to meet:

(Before I begin... um... don't you think this section's a bit too... sad? *Sigh* What can ya do about it... let's get dirty...)I'd like to meet bands and musicians, specially the ones that work by themselves. The newer and cooler, the better. Although my musical taste leans towards the Post-Punk, New Wave, Synthpop, Gothic, Indie, 80's and 80's-ish spectre (spectre... how spooky), I'm always open to listen to new stuff. Show me the way and I'll choose to follow or not.Here's a hint: If you can say you're an Indie/Gothic/Emo/Post-hardcore/Industrial/EBM/Dance/Techno/N ew Wave/Electroclash blend of Post-Punk influenced by bands like Joy Division, Gang of Four, The Psychedelic Furs and Echo and the Bunnymen, The Cure, The Smashing Pumpkins, and (blah, blah, blah) without making a face... forget it, I'm not buying it. I just want to listen to some catchy tunes with great beats, some nice guitars, cool and fluid basslines and memorable synths... is that too much to ask?I'd like to meet girls too. They're softer than boys and smell nicer. Romance, friendship, business, creative exchange, buying and selling dirty undergarments via Paypal... I'm not after anything specific. I just prefer girls' company over guys. (NOTE: The "dirty undergarments" bit is just a joke and it should be taken like that.)A&R, Producers, Managers and anyone in the music/publishing/media business: I'd like to know. I think you've noticed that I'm an aspiring, although chaotic, musician. I'm not looking for managing or production yet, but I could really use some pointers here.Writers, poets, graphic artists and publishing artists can come and play too! Look, nothing personal but, unless you're really, really good, a Blog or a LiveJournal does not count. I haven't published anything yet (procastination and such), so I'm just willing to learn. Also, I think that discussion always leads to conclussions and enhances one's style.
