About Me

I ain't cool and I ain't pretty, Im not living in hello kitty -thedwarves/saltlakecity

Graphic Designer some days, retail slave on others, I work probably way too much. I enjoy doing the designing and its never been just work to me (even if i'm designing something I'm not in to.) Right now, I work at a design studio in Haddon Township on the White Horse Pike, I primarily design posters, flyers, and other printed collateral for the International House in Philadelphia.There is Geekery abound in my free time. Whether its reading comic books, being online WAY too much, or watching whatever genere of movie appeals to me that day. Yes, I also go out too. as much as my wallet permits me anyway.
More and more, for the stupid little kid, that was the idea...That if enough people looked at you, you'd never need anybody's attention ever again.That if someday you were caught, exposed, and revealed enough, then you'd never be able to hide again. There'd be no difference between your public and your private lives.That if you could acquire enough, accomplish enough, you'd never want to own or do another thing.That if you could eat or sleep enough, you'd never need more.That if enough people loved you, you'd stop needing love.That you could ever be smart enough.That you could someday get enough sex.These all became the little boy's new goals. The illusions he'd have for the rest of his life. These were all the promises he saw in the fat man's smile. Excerpt from Choke by Chuck Palahniuk

Recently, Ive been listening to alot of cabaret music such as the Dresden Dolls and The Tiger Lillies. I also like German industrial and medieval music. Other bands that I listen to are the Tossers, Voltaire, Reggie and the Full Effect, Rouge Traders, Stiff Little Fingers, Buzzcocks, Bad Religion, Leftover Crack, Dir en Grey, Oi Polloi, Descendents, Briefs, Corvus Corax, The Dwarves, Dropkick Murphys, Social Distortion, Dead Boys, Mindless Self Indulgence, The Pogues, Joy Division, Alkaline Trio, Descendents, New York Dolls, Mudmen, Richard Hell, Common Rider, Rammstein, Cock Sparrer, The Adicts, Horrorpops, Misfits, Jawbreaker, Tiger Army, HYDE, The Smiths, The Dandy Warhols, Iggy Pop, The Mahones, Exploited, In Extremo, Lunachicks, Rasputina, Clash, Tanzwut, Swingin' Utters, Dead Kennedys, Turbonegro, and etc. etc. Oh and I like Daddy Yankee... I know... WTF?

Movies:

My two favorite movies are Trainspotting and Velvet Goldmine. Other movies I watch frequently are Battle Royale, Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels, Waiting..., Fight Club, Night of the Living Dead, Pirates of Carribean, V for Vendetta, Electric Dragon 80,000V Boondock Saints, Monty Python Movies, Dellamorte Dellamore, Ichi the Killer, Devils Rejects, Phantom of the Opera, The Evil Dead Trilogy, 28 Days Later, and zombie flick you drop infront of me.

Television:

I don't watch standard broadcast that much. I heart Cartoon Network and its delightfuly demented cartoons on Adult Swim. God Bless you Cartoon Network. GO TEAM VENTURE! I also watch the history channel and discovery channel. im also a sucker for those trashy mtv shows concerned with spoiled teenagers and the negligent parents who spawned them. god bless america and its denial of serious social problems.

Books:

Poetry wise I like Robert Burns. His poems were some of the best that came out of the British Isles in my opinion. I like Irvine Welsh, Chuck Palhaniuk, Henry Miller, Vladimir Nabokov and many others. And the Giving Tree is on my top ten list of favorite books. It still makes me cry when I read it and I can admit that.

Heroes:

My heros growing up: Xena and Shirley Manson. 'nuff said.
