About Me

I'm a goof. I wish the moon would eat me. Get this FREE MySpace layout and more at MySpaceOrYours.net

My Interests

I have lots of interests. People, things, activities and talking about it. Y'know what's fun? Being around people you like, doing things you all like to/with things you all like. What's all this, then? Who knows.

I'd like to meet:

You maybe.I like animals. I like fire. 60's Chanteuse - France Gall

Music:

i like music a lot. Probably more than you. Maybe not. When musicians play with passion, I lose interest in all else. Sometimes I'm suprised by my emotional response. Strangely affected and altered. Noise and structure, tinkly, abrasive, playful, violent, soothing, alarming and wonderful. Abba, AC/DC, Alien Sex Fiend, Bauhaus, Beach Boys, Beatles, Bee Gees, Birthday Massacre, Birthday Party, Black Flag, Black Sabbath, Bowie, Brian Eno, Catholic Discipline, Chameleons, Clan of Xymox, Clash, Cocteau Twins, Coil, Cradle of Filth, Cure, Damned, Darkthrone, Dead Can Dance, Dead Kennedys, Death In June, Deeds of Flesh, Depeche Mode, Dimmu Borgir, Einsturzende Neubauten, ELO, Emperor, Enslaved, Explosions in the Sky, Fad Gadget, Finntroll, Foetus, Gary Numan, GBH, GG Allin, Hilt, Immortal, Juno Reactor, KK Null, Ladytron, Meat Shits, Mew, Neurosis, OMD, Pink Industry, Queen, Radiohead, Skinny Puppy, Swans, TATU, Ulrich Schnauss, Velvet Acid Christ, Voivod, Wall of Voodoo, Wolfgang Press, Xmal Deutschland, Young Gods, Zappa, Zeni Geva.

Movies:

Movies, like all things, can change who you are and how you see the world. Alien, BLADE RUNNER, Evil Dead, Grandma's Boy (surprisingly awesome!), Liquid Sky, Repo Man, . So many, just so damn many...
DO YOU LIKE TRAGIC LOVE? OH, PETER LORRE IS SO SAD.
CLASSIC STONER FILM MOMENT!! LOVE IT YOU FOOLS!!

Television:

Simpsons, Heroes, The Office, The Appletime Butterscotch Olympics (so sweet and dirty). Lots of people don't like TV cause it has contributed mightily to the dumbification, the ignorancing, of America, and because most of what's on TV diminishes us all. But let's not forget that TV is only a thing through which people crap out their stupidness. And sometimes, only sometimes, golden crap can happen. Fool's gold, you say? Bah.

Books:

Shakespeare, Lovecraft, Mark Twain, I read a lot of non-fiction - historical accounts and such. I like reading very much and would do it more if I had the time. I like reading sociology cause I'm into framing reality as a construct and individuals as constructs of reality. Peter Berger is pretty neat. Marx is fun. Durkheim was quite a guy.
Don't read signs. They are lies. Or important clues. Either way they're trouble.

Heroes:

You. Sometimes Me, but mostly you. And that lady who did that altruistic thing for those people who needed some help. And that guy who did something similar. And people like them. But mostly you. And these mutha fuckas right here!

State sponsorship of religion

Like the founding fathers (sorry founding mothers, we don't talk about you so much) and so many others, I don't think the government should endorse any one religion over another. That sentiment is pa...
