Prime Directive: Exterminate The Whole Human Race

About Me

Celluloid and frequencies. I like zombies, aliens, robots, monkeys that got too smart and food and have an aversion to people as a whole. I try to make movies, and I just finished a documentary called "Monsters of the Atomic Age" (See my blog to check it out), play the rock n' roll with Thee Electric Bastards, argue about time signatures with my girlfriend (she's always right about this), collect terrible and great films, read, cook, obsess, find things to be anxious about, belittle others, play my favorite game "snap judgement", walk around talking to myself and make terribly inappropriate jokes. Someday I will gain superpowers from my insomnia.Go See My Band:WWW.TheeElectricBastards.comhttp://www.myspace.com/thee electricbastardsGo See About My Movie:[url]http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=110990719 8790913290[/url]
