I've questioned everything I used to trust.

About Me

Myspace Layouts - Myspace Editor

Things are pretty simple really. I was born in raised in Southern California where I have spent most of my life, except for a short stint in Chico, CA and a shorter stint in Seattle, WA. Most of that is kinda blurry though. The Seattle portion is a bit clearer than Chico but I think that has more to do with the decreasing amounts of malted hops and bong resin taking lease in my head. I’m the only child of two decent parents who never intended for me to grow up as strange as I did… they should have worked harder at keeping me away from the devil music and slasher films but we can’t blame them… I would have just snuck it anyway. The dark stuff always gave me comfort through the typical tragedies of life… loss of parents, loss of jobs, loss of sanity... etc. etc. So, I try to live my life like I would want a son of mine to live his. Although, the chances of me having a child are pretty slim, well… not a planned one anyway. That’s something that I would rather keep off the schedule. Mainly because I remember the day when my mother gave me the curse… the ol’ “I hope one day when you have children they do the same things you’ve done to me!” I’m sure we’ve all been given the curse at one point… I would rather not test fate in that arena though.I spend a good portion of my time now at work, making sure the public flocks to whatever said television network has me in their employ. It’s a pretty fun job to tell you the truth. Well, it’s fun when the network is fun and nothing can be better than cutting trailers for ‘24’.That’s about it for now… if I think of more to tell you I will.ahem, danzig rules... so does Face To Face.
