About Me

RIP Baby sister. You are missed.

Everything I've said before has been negated. Looking for new ideas and new roads to travel.
Conflicted about staying in a city I swore I'd leave. On one hand...I swore I'd leave as quickly as possible. On the other, it's been 8 years now and what was a temporary solution has become something else. Amarillo's part of my blood now and lately there's as much to love as there is to hate.
Spent the first 17 years of my life defining myself in terms of God. The next 9 were in terms of Punk. It took me a while to figure out that I don't have much to define myself by anymore, just me. Kind of enjoying that.
I perform and you might know me through my emceeing or stage persona, but I only keep this profile for more personal reasons. If you are into the sideshow, freakery, circus, and pain, check out my top friend for the PPS profile!

Baby, I ain't afraid to die,
It's just that I hate to say good-bye to this world,
This world, this world.
This old world is mean and cruel,
But still I love it like a fool, this world,
This world, this world.
I'd rather go to the corner store
Than sing hosannah on that golden shore,
I'd rather live on Parker Street
Than fly around where the angels meet.
Oh, this old world is all I know,
It's dust to dust when I have to go from this world,
This world, this world.
Somebody else will take my place,
Some other hands, some other face,
Some other eyes will look around
And find the things I've never found.
Don't weep for me when I am gone,
Just keep this old world rolling on, this world,
This world, this world.

My Interests

Fire, sideshows, green building, punk, hardcore, thrash, anarcho, being political but still knowing how to take a shower, screen printing, button making, distros, zines, solar power, biodiesel, compulsive collecting, bicycles, pretty much any DIY project, cooking, homebrewing, theft, reclaiming my radicalism, scene-building

I'd like to meet:

This guy:

Whoever stole my copy of City of Lost Children
Vegetarians, Vegans, Short order cooks, people who's nights begin when the bars close, straightedge junkies, Non-Dogmatic Atheists, Humanists, Dolphinists, Pirates of the high seas and high bandwidth varieties, Open Sourcers, Open Relationshipers, Punks, Book Nerds (especially librarians), Activists, Scholars, and People Interested in Ecologically Sound Living. Carnies, sideshow fans, performers of all stripes - If you're into what I do or into what I'm into, I'd love to see what you do too.
I want to meet you if you are serious about networking and not just hawking a project. I want more people that I can correspond with. DON'T ASK ME TO ADD YOUR BAND! I add my friends' bands myself. Anyone else, I don't care about. Sorry, that's how it is. Requesting me will guarantee me being a dick to you.

Music:

I just knocked hundreds of bands from this list. I enjoy music, but I don't like the idea of having my personality judged by the 7"s in my collection. Basically anything subversive, whether politically or musically. From Punk to Western Swing to Circus music to underground HipHop.

Movies:

"Is this how it works now? Do we just let film-makers create identities for us that we can buy for Â£12.99? Is this what identity costs? Or is it how you put the units together that counts? Does a zombie film plus a Parisian inner-city heist film make you a different person than two Hollywood romantic comedies do? Would either of these people get on with the person who has every series of their favorite SF TV show on DVD, arranged in such a way that their edges make one picture on the shelf? You can string this stuff into lines of cultural DNA that can be seen without any kind of microscope, until anyone looking at your shelves can use this information to establish "who you are" and whether or not they want to have sex with you." -Scarlett Thomas, PopCo-

Television:

As viewing habits change, I'm no longer the "Smash your TV" guy. I appreciate the way drama has been serialized by the more mature networks. I still would prefer spending a little less time in front of the tube though.

Books:

so much..this will take time to fill in. I'll start with: Camus, Sartre, Vonnegut, Palahniuk, Welsh, Daniel Quinn, Huxley, Orwell, PK Dick, RA Wilson, Crowley, Grant Morrison, Terence McKenna, Naomi Klein, lots more to come

Heroes:

Anarchists aren't allowed to have them. Blah blah. Maybe I just use the word more liberally than others. I'm sure I've called a beer my hero once. That being said, some creatures I greatly respect are:

Amador, Hell'n Fury, U'ala, Ko'ovi (RIP), Artemis Prime
Geronimo, Emma Goldman, Art Bell
