About Me

I think we should just set fire to the whole thing and watch it burn....

My Interests

Things I like:
Art. but wishing it were more a priority.
Maps. because it's what I do.
Jeeps. I don't know why, just do. Maybe because I was born in Toledo?
Godzilla. because parts of me will never grow up.

I'd like to meet:

Anyone foolish enough to want to meet me.

Music:

Skinny Puppy, Front Line Assembly, Ministry, Front 242 (hee hee ~Headhunter ~Yay!), KMFDM, Die Warzau, Nitzer Ebb, NIN, Marylin (whatever, I don't care), Meat Beat Manifesto, Enomine, Apoptygma Berserk, The Young Gods, Alien Sex Fiend, EinstÃ¼rzende Neubauten, Black Tape for A Blue Girl, Rosetta Stone, Die Form, Ladytron, RÃ¶yksopp, Razed in Black, Wumpscutt, Chemlab, Numb, Kate Bush, Lisa Gerrard, Annie Lennox, Cocteau Twins, Dead Can Dance, This Mortal Coil ... everything, just say it.

Movies:

I collect movies and I love watching them but I have so many to see still. Lately I just don't make time for it, I really have to be nailed down to watch a movie lately, or be depressed and in need of escape.Some of the few that I have seen that stuck with me are:
Brazil, Twelve Monkeys, The Fisher King and other Terry Gilliam flicks
Mulholland Drive, Lost Highway, Fire walk wi-.... Most Lynch movies too
BladeRunner, my alltime favorite sci-fi.
A Clockwork Orange, 1984, What Dreams May Come
the few comedies I've laughed out loud at: Sleeper, Joe Dirt, Team America Anything Godzilla related
And my little embarrasment, all E.M.Forster stories that have been made into movies ... not because of the Victorian era but because his life is such a tragedy it's incredible that he could dream up such poetry.

Television:

Still watching the new Battlestar lately, got some catchng up to do tho.
This should really be classified as 'downloads' or 'Torrents' because I don't have cable and I don't watch it if it isn't on the internet.

My Blog

It could have been a shitty morning.

I've been sick with a cold the past few days and I woke up around 6am freezing, shivering, snotty and congested. I took some tylenol and sudafed and went back to bed. Dawn awoke and said I was burnin...

Work and recreation should go hand in hand

I have a pretty boring job by most standards. I don't get to socialize much. I work WAY too many hours. I meet nobody new, creative or entertaining via my job. An exciting day for me...

If youre going to die...

Yeah, I'm a class act. I'm a tough one to follow that's for sure. Kati and I are done, even though it hasn't been said it's a forgone conclusion, the question is whether or not she'll ever...
