My Interests

Screenwriting, filmmaking, digital painting/photography and reading. Working out, yoga, eating right and being healthy... vitamins are the new drugs! Being a patriotic American, even if that means standing up against much of what this country is doing. And some other less serious things... like monkeys, ninjas, monkey ninjas and snacks!! I'm also into 2012, the 'apocalypse', the illuminati & the new world order along with post-humanism and stuff - it's, like, totally cool.

I'd like to meet:

Artists, revolutionaries, beautiful models & muses. Always searching for creative, friendly, intelligent and spiritually healthy individuals, so if you're one of those rarest of humanoids, just drop me a line. (Politically aware, socially and environmentally concerned citizens get bonus points)

Music:

I'd like to say I can listen to everything, but I'm just not that open-minded (sorry country, sorry radio- but you suck!!!). Mostly eclectronic. Industrial, darkwave, "experimental", dark ambient, psychedelic trance, power noise, ebm... Nine Inch Nails, VNV Nation, Razed in Black, Tool, Pink Floyd, Lords of Acid, Praga Khan, KMFDM, Chemical Brothers, Prodigy, Aphex Twin, Mlada Fronta, Coil, Plastikman, Hallucinogen, Infected Mushroom, Basement Jaxx, Neurotic Fish, Moby, David Bowie, U2, Nirvana, Juno Reactor, BT, Underworld, Wagon Christ, Eminem, Dave the Drummer, Chris Liberator, Carl Cox. This list would be longer if I knew more people with similar tastes. Oh! and I almost forgot to give a shout out to Pandora.com - it's a really amazing music recommendation machine that lets me listen to what I like over and over and over again.
