About Me

I'm your basic run-of-the-mill wanna-be goth artist, if there is such a thing... Art is inspired by many, from Ansel Adams to H.R. Giger. Throw in a dash of Steiglitz, Meatyard, and Man Ray, and you've got yourself quite a cocktail. Once you see past the stressed exterior, there's a laid-back person who's always striving for an inner peace of sorts. Or is it the other way around? I can never remember.

My Interests

Goth/Industrial/Electro music, photography, cameras, art, comics, video games, technology, computers, mp3s, vampires, RPGs, legos, Xbox, foreign movies, cemeteries, and my new car (a 1989 Nissan 240SX - like TKK says, sex on wheels, baby). I'm a geek. Get used to it. :)

I'd like to meet:

I'm open to meeting anyone, as I've got the open mind and willingness to enjoy a good conversation. A sense of humor is a must. Good topics of conversation include music, movies, philosophy, and electronic/technical/computer innovations. Nerdy stuff works for me. :)

My Blog

Grand ideas and high art...

Ok, so I snuck that in there, making you think this was an actual entry. It was more or less an idea in seeing if myspace.com would quit reminding me that I haven't posted a journal entry. Damn thin...
