About Me


Hmmmm...What is there to say, really? I'm something else (and no one is really sure what that is) :D...........I'm eclectic... I find the unique compelling. I am interested in the common good, yet surprisingly, I hate people (generally speaking)... I have no urge to change the criminal, just the world that led him to crime......... I love music, art and animals. Materialism is not my thing. I don’t believe that the car that I drive or the clothes that I wear make me any better or worse a person, and I pity those that believe that they do. I adore fashion, but I’d rather make it myself then buy it off of a rack…I detest the overly religious or conservative, as I believe this is a sign of a weak mind. Argue with me if you must, but I must warn you, I am a worthy opponent. .I believe War is not the answer, though testosterone believes that it is (and that’s really all that matters I’m afraid)…I’m opinionated and stubborn, a lover and a fighter…I can be a pussy cat or something a bit more scary but no less adorable…it all depends of how I’m treated….
The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated- Mahatma Gandhi
A human being is a part of a whole, called by us , universe, a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings as something separated from the rest... a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty." - Albert Einstein
My apartment is infested with koala bears. It's the cutest infestation ever. Way better than cockroaches. When I turn on the light a bunch of koala bears scatter. And I don't want them to, you know, I'm like, "Hey, wait, come back. Let me hold one of you...feed you a leaf." Koala bears. They're so fuckin' cute, why do they gotta live so fuckin' far away from me. We should ship some of them over. And I will apprehend one. And hold him. And pet him on the back of his head. - Mitch Hedberg (if you don't know what this is about.. you definetly should!!!)

My Interests



Likes: People that are too smart for their own good; Artists, Poets, musicians, philosophers and smart asses. I adore the grotesque, the dark, and the oddities of the world, but otherwise live a basic normal life... dislikes: LIARS, Pretentious people, pretty boys, spoiled rich kids, meat (though I still eat it), inflatable lawn ornaments, bling-bling , hunting, nascar, sports, delicate men, pacifists, drug addicts, drunk people...except when I'm drunk too, half naked 18 year old girls on myspace trying to look sexy and the guys that fall for that crap! (or maybe I'm just jealous cause I'm getting old and haggardy) :D

I'd like to meet:

I finally found my "assertive artist"...he's not so much a "like minded person"....but he'll do :) Celebrity? Johnny Depp, but who doesn't want to meet him...HE'S INCREDIBLY BIZARRE, and I ADORE bizarre people

Music:

I don't really have a "favorite band"..so, I'll just tell you what I have on my computer right now: (I'm a new Wave Junkie, by the way) Ah-ha, Flock of Seagulls, ABC, Adam Ant, The Cars, Cocteau Twins, Concrete Blonde, Depeche Mode, Duran Duran, The English Beat, Erasure, Oingo Boingo, Siouxie, The Smiths, XTC, Apoptygma Berzerk, And One, Front 242, NIN, Sisters of Mercy, The Pixies, Peter Murphy, The Sugarcubes, The Buzzcocks, Type O-Negative, Coheed and Cambia, Motion City Soundtrack, Death Cab for Cutie, Chris Isaac, Coldplay. There is a lot more...I'm big on Goth/Industrial and for some god awful reason I've become really into a lot of Emo (which I swore I'd never do)...

Movies:

Donnie Darko, The big Lebowski, Momento, SLC Punk, Moulan Rouge (Is that slightly geeky?) Big Fish, Eternal sunshine, Tim Burton anything ......Generally any strange movie that would make me cry is probably one of my favorites..

Television:

None, now. Completly due to the fact that I'm glued to this stupid computer all the time!!

Books:

The changed man, flux, and cruel miracles - Short Story Comps by Orson Scott Card...Cat's Cradle - Kurt Vonnegut...Resently reading 'The seat of the Soul'-Gary Zukav, interesting book about reincarnation.!

Heroes:


my mom, she works so hard to keep things afloat.
