If you can't change the world, change your world.

About Me

I'm all about the music...and horror movies...and a bunch of other stuff. In fact I'm all about it all! Witty and sarcastic, but like totally professional too. Ah, yeah. I'm super wicked great! For real. No seriously. A toy designer/art director by day, mischievious miscreant/party animal/underground electronic music producer by night. I sure do likes me some cool stuff, the outdoors, travel, animals, robots, laughing at funny stuff, a wide variety of music, deep conversation, jokes, a tasty meal and above all a good time. I seem to have many good friends (with poor judgement) for some reason so I can't be all that bad. Just ask 'em if you don't believe me. On second thought, don't. They tend to lie. Not nearly as scary (a pretentious jerk) as I sometimes appear, I'm actually quite friendly (although not always sober at the time), intelligent, creative, relatively sane, usually good natured, and quite often mildly (excrutiatingly) funny (at least to me and that's what counts).

My Interests

Laughs, design, floorball, cartoons, movies, psychology, good stories, the arts, foreign cultures, world politics, parties, video games, jokes, the outdoors, patios, skiing, golf, pets/animals, comedy, karaoke, clubs/bars/pubs, tattoos, muscle cars, hot rods, gasmasks, uniforms, martial arts, running, cycling, hiking, toys, booze, cottages/camping, history, geography, photography, digital art, great conversation, aliens, conspiracies, monsters, masks, robots, zombies, serial killers, ancient ruins, firearms, the supernatural, travel, music videos, the cats aka shit rats, the macabre, Photochop, Frustrator, making goofie pics with those programs, graphic design, industrial design, animation, film/video, Asian food, seafood, horror, drawing, sculpting, writing, taking pictures, making music, directing.
