I am here for Friends

About Me

I was born in Northern Ontario, where wrasslin' grizzlies and stalkin' bigfeets's is a daily occurance. I now live in Toronto where I work for mere peanuts(yum). To relieve the frustrations of fruitless servitude I scream into the mic with my rock band Curses! You can check out our space here www.myspace.com/curseswastaken. I'm not too fond of computer communication. I'd rather see and hear you right in front of my eyes, so's I can hug, kiss, or bitchslap you as I see fit.
I created my own profile using nUCLEArcENTURy.COM and you should too!

Television:

I don't care what people say, I like 'reality TV.' I feel that dramatic storylines lose their edge on the current television format. Y'no: Opening splash, action spike every 7 minutes, cliffhanger finish....see you next week, sucker! If I wanted a story I'd watch a film. If I want disposable, time-wasting, mind-numbing, distraction I watch television, but not very often.

Books:

The works of Samuel Taylor Coleridge, Clive Barker, Robert E. Howard. I dig comix, biographies, autobiographies 'n such. Rue Morgue Magazine -was- great, -is- cool.

Heroes:

Conan of Cimmeria and Bruce Dickinson

I love bottled Tuborg beer

Yep!  I've drank Tuborg in the can for a few years, cuz it was cheap but I recently picked up some bottles, and I must say, it's MUCHO better, and still cheap. Don't buy it at the LCBO, cuz it's ...

Cauldron CD and Concert Review

One day last summer I paid a ridiculous amount of money to enter a rave to see my favourite Toronto metal band play.  That was the night they broke up.  That band was the one and only Goat H...

Hockey tourney as the coach, Metal with the mustache.

This last weekend was a complete 'shitstorm', but in a good way.  Got to rock the crowd at Lee's Palace, (even though the total douche of a soundguy told us we'd never play there again) do a litt...

The Land of Awwwwww's

Hey, CSers! Here's Becky.  She hates cameras more than the vacuum cleaner and the blowdryer put together, so these are all the pics I could salvage from thousands of growling/barking pics. "The M...

Festival of Friends

So I finished another year of volunteering at the Festival of Fear.  This is the only horror convention in Canada, and it's thrown by my homeboys at Rue Morgue magazine.  This was my third y...

I ain't here to pose for photographs...

So my band Curses! played last night at the Bovine and all went well. We had a decent crowd that I noticed from the stage were very smiley, but very "stiff."  Toronto crowds are usually that way,...

Drinkin' clean beer.

I'm back again, broheems, to post another pathetically self reflective blarg.  Had a pretty good night last night.  It was my pal's B-day celebration down at Ted's Collision Repair on Colle...

If I'm screwing it up now, that means I'll be nailing it later

It's the middle of a beautiful summer, and I am comfortably underemployed.  Things could be worse, hehheh.  After working for 3 1/2 years at a job that was easy enough to warrant the pay, I ...
