About Me

I subscribe to the belief that nose-picking can be a metaphor. I do not watch TV recreationally. I am a connoisseur of useless information. Mark Twain rocks my socks. I am prone to flick off small children holding signs on the side of the road. None of this makes me nearly as bad a person as you might think.**Oh yes... I've removed that flash shit from my page. You know you're in trouble when you can't find your own fucking blog.**

My Interests

Photography - photojournalism, portraiture, conceptual photography
History - Sub-cultural and Countercultural, medieval, colonialism, ethno-linguistic, WWII
English - journalism, literature, some poetry, etymology, semantics
Philosophy - Media, nihilism, anarchism, existentialism, egotism, etc.
Music - Bass, Guitar, Theory, a variety of genres, business and promotion
Comic books - Hellboy, Girls, Astonishing X-men, New Avengers, Tank Girl
