About Me

Now it's William Burroughs.That previous quote is lifted from a gent named Peter Saville. It tickled my fancy.

"Pop culture used to be like LSD – different, eye-opening and reasonably dangerous. It’s now like crack – isolating, wasteful and with no redeeming qualities whatsoever"

My Interests

self-mythologisation, self-immolation, amateur archaeology, therianthropy, petroglyphs, psychogeography, metafiction, heresiarchy, music, wild speculations about human prehistory, insects, bonfires, absurdly fringe science, ecology, evolution, esoteric religions and philosophies, paranoia as a rewarding hobby, blogging, hiking, canoeing, misanthropy, hobo envy, monsterism...

I'd like to meet:

To hell with it, inundate me with music.

Certainly not any more porn-bots. If you must meet a spamming quota, create more interesting personas. At this point, i'm more interested in your ant-farm or your collection of paperclips than in how much you like sex. Create a porn-bot that will whisper sweet nothings about newly discovered neolithic cultures or some lost '70s band bridging glam and post-punk, and i'll damn well friend you.

the OQ crossover

I've been working on installing a plugin that would allow posts to my preferred blog to MySpace as well, to little success. Blogging about blogging is near senseless, but this might goad me into follo...
