About Me

Well... Message me before adding me if you've never met me. Thats all I ask (:My name is Jason. My last name really is King. Theres a few things I do in life; I play music and I work. I work at the home depot in Garden grove. When it comes to music I'm in a solo project I call Symbolhead , For that project I play guitar, vocals, harmonica, keyboard etc. I also play lead guitar as well as keyboard and vocals in a psychedelic band we've come to call Chatting With Death . My views have changed with all my new experiences, and nowadays I live to love, I live to play music, and I live to have fun. Peace+ -JK

Television:

.. .. Another group of monster teenagers shot up their school today. What makes them do it? Video games? Marilyn Manson?! Oh it can't be the parents, or the fact that school sucks, or that the jocks really do get patted on the head every time they beat up the weirdo's, and the jobs you get once you graduate are stupid, boring, meaningless, and a dead end to insanity! (I can't deny it's killing me, no one loses on TV.) When Sport Utility Vehicles are no longer enough...you need the TERMINATOR. Stuck in traffic in Lost Angeles? Drive over the tops of everybody else. You'll crush 'em before the Cops can catch up with you. Your precious artifact child needs to be safe, they're talking to a kid who's skin is a different color?! Grab the kid and mow 'em down! Each new hot generation has a statement they wanna call their own. Tattoos? Piercings? that's for Moms and Dads! What you want to do is spend your allowance on Devil horn implants! Elephant-man head! Designer tails! Third leg, fourth leg -- everyone a HERMAPHRODITE!
(I can't deny it's killing me, no one loses n TV.)

Books:

.. .. LESS THAN ZERO. The Talisman, Black House. Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, Screwjack, The Curse of Lono, The Great Shark Hunt, anything by Hunter S. Thompson.

Heroes:

.. ..JUSTIN BROADRICK - In the 25+ years he's been making music, this man has helped invent grindcore with Napalm Death at the age of sixteen, completely innovated industrial music with the harsh sounds of Godflesh, and has gone so far as to convey personal human emotions through his post-rock project jesu. In those 25+ years creating so many different levels of art, he has gone virtually unrecognized for his musical accomplishments. Justin Broadrick is my hero.

Hunter S. Thompson - Literary and Journalistic genius. Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, The Curse of Lono, The Rum Diary. He lived the life he wrote about.

Black Sabbath - Metal helped me get through my teen years, and now life is good.
