living like a disaster

About Me

At least now I can say that I am trying
And I hope you will forget the things I still lack

The less you know the better

My Interests

Photography. Death. Why we live the way we do.

The website is dead - long live the website. Guess my crappy Flickr is the way to go.

I'd like to meet:

The knowledge that you exist is a burden on my soul.
- men in hats

Music:

I like my coffee black just like my metal.
Or y'know...

Movies:

I Heart Huckabees, Sin City, Underworld, Pirates of the Caribbean, Pulp Fiction, Lord of the Rings.

Television:

Star Trek: The Next Generation, MST3K, House, Venture Bros - and I watch it all here.

Books:

I am generally more interested in short stories, but here are a few books I highly recommend:

Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury,
1984 by Orson Wells,
Brave New World by Aldous Huxley,
The Anything Box by Zenna Henderson,
True Game by Sherri S. Tepper,
Catch-22 by Joseph Heller,
That Hideous Strength by C. S. Lewis,
The Psychotechnic League by Poul Anderson,
As I Lay Dying by William Faulkner.

Guess it's final

We'll be moving to Wisconsin the end of March. If anybody wants to buy a nice desk, futon, couch, end table, or lamp let me know. I'm in a pretty messed up state right now, mostly due to the fact th...

No Particular Night or Morning

I'm not sure I can understand why people keep living.
