Nothing to fear but Fear itself

About Me

Life is a learning curve. Seems like lately, i've been getting more curves than learning. My fault though, as i've been down similar roads before and for some reason, keep getting lost along the way. Oh well, there's always tomorrow with more off and on ramps to choose from. At least, i hope so : )I love electronics and music. I particularly like working with "audio", whether it is tinkering with "high end" home audio gear or jamming pro sound / band related gear. Working with bands allows me to do both i.e. tinker with electronics and music at the same time.I'm also a radio communications geek. If you ever have the misfortune of visiting my house or one of my multiple storage facilities, you'll get to see the massive amount of "electro-junk" I've accumulated over the years. WAY too much "stuff" for any sane individual to own.Some might say that I'm anal aka "a picky bastard". I like things done a certain way. I can never figure out why so many people never have the time to do things right, yet they can always find the time to do things over. Never makes ANY sense to me.

My Interests

I'm easily intrigued by many controversial subjects. Many that know me think that I'm a "conspiracy nut", hence my interests in politics and religion : )Other than that, i dig music, high-end audio, radio communications, cars, motorcycles, etc... You know, guy stuff : )

I'd like to meet:

Anyone that actually gives a fuck!!!Drew Barrymore: I'd like to see if she's really as cute, funny, down to earth and disturbed as I think she is.Nikola Tesla: What can one say about what may have been the greatest electrical genius ever???

Music:

Mostly older punk, hardcore, garage, metal, oi, new wave, glam, experimental and psychedelic stuff. I also enjoy Nordic / Celtic based folk music and some classical / chamber music. Most anything that is truly original is worth checking out in my book.EMO SUCKS!!!GREAT deals on Guitar & PA speakers!!!

Movies:

Hellraiser, The Fifth Element, Highlander, Shocker, Queen of the Damned, Braveheart, Hedwig and the Angry Inch, Silence of the Lambs, Liquid Sky, etc...

Television:

I hate the amount of influence that the media & TV have over me and the rest of the populated world. Having said that, there must be some reason why I bought a big screen : )I tend to like a lot of English stuff. The Young Ones, Monty Python, Dr Who, The Goodies, etc...The History Channel tends to have a lot of good stuff, but much of it is, at least in my opinion, presented from a very specific ( and slightly skewed ) point of view. Start reading the credits and see who's filling your mind with their poisoned point of view / agenda!!!

Books:

Don't read as much as i should. Probably why my mind isn't as sharp as it used to be.The Way of Wyrd by Brian Bates. This is a simple, fun to read book that covers some very deep subjects. It was good enough for the band Sabbat to write an entire album about. Is it good enough for you to read and enjoy???Dake's Annotated Reference version of the King James Bible. LOT of "deep" stuff in here, especially if you take the time to try and understand it via research.

Heroes:

People that are honest with themselves and others. These people do the right thing, regardless of what the personal cost is to them. It takes a lot of effort and self control to always do the right thing. The first person like this that comes to my mind would be Jesus Christ.
