Time is my mortal enemy.

About Me

"Our destiny is not frightful by being unreal; it is frightful because it is irreversible and iron-clad. Time is the substance I am made of. Time is a river which sweeps me along, but I am the river; it is a tiger which destroys me, but I am the tiger; it is a fire which consumes me, but I am the fire. The world, unfortunately, is real; I, unfortunately, am DasKreestof."*

I'm a stubborn hardliner (elitist) rivethead. I've recently left the field of network engineering, and am trying to make it as a filmmaker, which is what my degree is in.
The website about my Industrial DJ'ing is : http://www.goth.net/~daskreestof/
I've also been a club promoter, but that's nothing to be proud of. But I am proud of one of the nights I used to run, Digital Murder. It was exactly what I wanted in a club. Good hardline industrial from every phase of Industrial, No trance, and the coolest people I've ever seen in a club.

I am a unique person, and I don't think you'll ever meet anyone who says differently.

* I stole from Goddard, who stole from from the 1946 essay "A New Refutation of Time" by famous Argentinean writer and fantasist Jorge Luis Borges.

My Interests

industrial, early industrial, industrial music, synthesizers, cinemascope, filmmaking, Reaktor, Giger, criticism, deconstructivism, videogames, netochka nezvanova, paintball, progressive ideologies, survival research laboratories, robots, clubs, design, borg

I'd like to meet:

Kristin "99" Kowalski, Layne D'Angelo, Filmmakers, rivetheads, paintball combatants, satanists. People who can admit they like watching porn sometimes. Intense people who won't bore me, but also won't break my stuff. The Borg Queen. People who can teach me how to do cool things like weld, build motorcycles, fix stuff, circuit bend, or hold conversations about aesthetic ideals. People who aren't offended by sex, but have embraced their sexuality boldly. If that offends you, you're probably not one of those people. People without contagions.

I would NOT like to meet: Nazi's, junkies, people will break my stuff, people who will sell my stuff and not give me the money, people who borrow money and don't pay you back when they could have. People who want me to buy them things, or use me. People who are nice to you in person, but trash you publically online.

I cannot see myself in a long term relationship with a smoker.
