my band ( Dark Eden ), performing, freedom, spirituality, satire, reading, dancing, sexuality, politics, bondage, S&M, all things japanese, all things german, gas masks, annoying the stupid, pushing people's buttons, loyalty, directing, photography, carnivals, movies, useless information, public nudity, the fall of american culture, breaking my own taboos, changing people's minds, religion, history, man's inhumanity to... well... everything, love, video games, vinyl, leather, chocolate, blood letting, pain, whatever strange obsession happens to catch my fancy for the next five minutes, offensive cartoons.
Well, as a friend, someone I can basically talk to and hang with (Everybody seems to use the internet as a subtitute for real life. I don't. To me, it's a tool for meeting people I eventually hope to meet in real life). For something more, someone totally uninhibited, not afraid to try new things, into things that would make other people bothered, someone who shares (or at leasts gets) my sense of humor. Someone with similar musical tastes (very important you like my stuff, especially). Intelligence, sex appeal, and self-confidence, really. Non-smoker definitely preferred, although as long as they're willing to just not smoke around me, I can deal.
OH YEAH: just a few things...
if you're a band, it'll take longer for me to add you, because I will only add you if I like your music...which means, I have to listen to your music.
I am also in a band, btw, and if you would like to add me, I would also appreciate you checking out my band, Dark Eden, because we fucking rule!
If you post bulletins that are either "repost this or your balls will fall off" or "OMG! I just got 45,474,373,181.28 friends from using this!" or "Add The Girl Who I Get Drunk With On the Weekends," I will remove you from my friend's list, even if I know you in "real life." I do not enjoy reading crap like that. So, don't add me if you absolutely can't live without such filler in your life. However, surveys are okay. I post those myself, occasionally... ;)
If you add me, it would be nice if you were to also write me too, and let me know who the hell you are, and why I should add you back. I don't need an essay, just enough to make me feel that everyone on my friend's list is someone who either is, or can potentially be, just that. A friend.
If you don't think this rules, then I hate you...

I mean...it's Christopher Lee! Singing! How can you not love it?
I should also note that although I do drink every now and then (and when I drink, I tend to get very drunk), I am not really into drugs and if you feel the need to regale me with tales of how high you were last night and what you saw on trip A and trip B, please don't. I don't really care. You might as well tell me about how the paint on your wall is drying. I find it boring. If you choose to get fucked up on a regular basis, that's your business, I'm not like super anti-drug or whatever, but it's not really anything that interests me. If I had wanted to do them, I could, I just don't have the urge. Never had. Probably never will. Plus, I hate conversations without a point and...well, most people who are fucked up are incredibly annoying to talk to.
If you're from Long Island, you need to find yourself a better economy to live in. None of you fuckers ever have the money to come visit me. And it's not like I'm gonna go back into that hell hole anymore. 19 years of my life was quite enough, thank you. For crissakes, rob an old lady or strip or sell crack or something, people!
Oh, and it'd also be nice if you left me blog and image comments. I don't just put those up for my health, you know...
dark eden, slayer, morbid angel, rudimentary peni, cradle of filth, the doors, danzig, samhain, the misfits (the REAL misfits, with glenn danzig singing, not the bunch of sad, washed-up old men who currently defame the name with their every onstage movement), celtic frost, gallhammer, zetro-era exodus, rasputina, switchblade symphony (r.i.p.), babes in toyland (r.i.p.), type o negative, hate in the box, satyricon, dimmu borgir, carpathian forest, the cramps, the skabs (r.i.p.), kovenant, bathory, bis, iron maiden, electric hellfire club, genitorturers, p.j. harvey, lunachicks, mr. bungle, faith no more, partridge family temple, this ascension, elvis hitler, another dying democracy, the great kat, aphex twin, alien sex fiend, hanzel und gretyl, white zombie, blondie, bjork, jerry lee lewis, diamanda galas, if man is five, ice titan, abominatrix, straphangers, duran duran, the go-gos, nirvana, venom, kmfdm, early metallica, early megadeth, lords of acid, carnivore, the dead kennedys, lady sovereign, black flag (henry rollins-era), ministry (the last two ministry albums, rio grande blood and houses of the mole more than made up for how much the two albums before those sucked), 1000 homo dj's, the sex pistols, and a lot more
return of the living dead, silent hill, nightmare before christmas, visitor q, dead or alive trilogy, ichi the killer, gozu, hellraiser series (except bloodlines, which sucked), salo, night porter, battle royale I & II, being john malkovich, dawn of the dead (both versions), house of 1,000 corpses, return of the living dead 3, hellboy, the prophecy, dogma, jay & silent bob strike back, lost highway, clerks, mallrats, blue velvet, wild at heart, urotsuikidoji, audition, mulholland drive, clockwork orange, full metal jacket, bloodsucking freaks, dead alive, resident evil, day of the dead, baise moi, trainspotting, snatch, dog soldiers, devil's advocate, etc...
besides it's always sunny in philadelphia, aqua teen hunger force, 24, the shield, riches, big love, frisky dingo, battlestar galactica, and all the shows i like have been cancelled, like angel, lexx, buffy, twin peaks, the sopranos, deadwood, invader zim, xena, and brimstone.
incidentally, reality tv is killing quality tv. death to american idol! 63 million americans voted for american idol contestants. can you imagine what the country would be like if that many people voted in their local and national elections?
i used to like a lot of clive barker, but then he stopped doing horror. now, i focus mainly on non-fiction, history, and occult materials.
i have no heroes, but i draw influence from people as diverse as jerry lee lewis, takashi miike, glenn danzig, mike patton, david vincent, and miscreants throughout history. it is foolish to follow others (unless you're following me, in which case, it's okay). learn from the past, but do not try to recreate it, out of some ridiculous nostalgia or a lack of faith in your own abilities. fuck your idols! the names above have been inspiration at one time or another, but i do not ever wish to be the next insert historic figure here. the only person i wish to be is the first Reverend Charles Lupula. and i think i do a pretty goddamn good job of that.
