I don't mean to sound bitter, cold, or cruel, but I am, so that's how it comes out

About Me

According to those who know me
...shy, intuitive, insecure, thoughtful, grumpy, funny, careful, reckless...
...a HUGE dork..nice in a mean way if that makes sense...
...hates bowing to authority - rebels frequently - is sexy once he takes off the pink bunny suit - professes to be ice but that's doubtful considering his girlfriend. :D - and is a DC geek...
...strong, but sensitive. Can be best friend or worst enemy. Zero tolerance for bullshit and stupidity. Wild and Wacky when the mood strikes. Trusts noone, but loyal to the few you do. Protective of what's yours. Too smart for your own good - yet not smart enough, sometimes. Loves deeply, but hides it well. 'Dry' sense of humour - but funny. In touch with your inner child... Dreamer. Artistic. Creative. Writer. Romantic....
...a great guy...
...a deep, intelligent person. Sure, you can slap on some spandex and be silly like the rest of us, but I sometimes sense a dark brooding under the surface. You always have something interesting to say. I'm always in awe of that kind of confidence, ease and openness...
...you are sensitive but can be very rude at times... You are very intelligent and you can be very loving when you choose to be. you have always tried to be a bad ass that does not seem to care what others think...You don’t always want people to know who you are for some reason...

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Stephen Hawking, Bret Easton Ellis, or Pope Benedict XVI (I'm not Catholic, but I still think he would be interesting to talk to).

Music:

I love music. Putting on my headphones and turning on my MP3 player are like mini-vacations for me. My musical tastes include a little bit of this and whole lot of that. Pink Floyd, Lenny Kravitz, KMFDM, Pat Benetar, The Cult, Nine Inch Nails, The Doors, Elvis, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Rob Zombie, HIM, The Misfits, Danzig, Saints of Eden, The Cruxshadows, The Foo Fighters, Lords of Acid, Praga Kahn, Breaking Benjamin, Nickleback, Crystal Method, Seether, Evanesence, Reverend Horton Heat, My Life with the Thrill Kill Kult, Tool, A Perfect Circle, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Aphex Twin, Oingo Boingo, Korn, Fleetwood Mac, and Johnny Cash.

Movies:



Weird movies, Japanese horror, haunted house movies, comedy's. Stuff like Evil Dead 2, True Romance, Memento, Devil's Rejects, The Ugly, House on Haunted Hill (1999), Logan's Run, High Fidelity, A Clockwork Orange, The Cube, Phantasm, Borat, Halloween, Escape from New York, Delamorte Delamore, The Heathers, Run Lola Run, The Crow, Rules of Attraction, Frankenhooker, Sling Blade, Permanent Midnight, Saw, The Eye (2002), and Versus to name just a few.

Television:

Smallville, The Simpsons, Family Guy, My Name is Earl, House, The Dudesons, The Twilight Zone, Futurama, News Radio, Heroes, Trigun, Cowboy Bebop, Witch Hunter Robin, Hellsing and Elfen Lied. So basically cartoons and weird shows.

Books:



I like stuff that is a little bit weird and unconventional. Anything by Bret Easton Ellis, Jay McIntery, Hunter S Thompson, Kurt Vonnegut, Michael Criton, Agatha Christie, Chuck Palahniuk, Mark Twain, or Ray Bradbury. I used to like Stephen King until he got hit by that car, now he seems to have lost his edge and his writing seems way too soft. I just recently read House of Leaves by Mark Danielewsky, it was interesting I would recommend it if you like weird shit.

what about Joe?

With the VP debates coming up tonight I got to thinking about politics and how I feel kind of sorry for Joe Biden. He has gotten no attention at all. The news is filled with clips about Sarah Palin be...

4 years of Dragoncon in retrospect

In 2005 my little group of 4 headed toward Atlanta at 3 am Saturday morning. All I brought with me was a Pepsi bottle full of whiskey and a camera.  We stayed all day and came back early Sunday m...

less painful than having a pencil jammed into my eye

The Dark Knight, all I can say is it was ok. Yep, just ok. Mediocre at best. It had it's high points such as Heath Ledger's portrayal of the Joker, and it's low points, which would be everything else....
