About Me

In my mind I am an artist, writer, and philosopher. In reality, I am just a really imaginative, funny, lovable guy. I define myself as a science fiction beatnik. That means that I'm a huge dork, but I pull it off with a certain amount of savior fair. I love talking to people and exchanging interests. There's a lot of cool stuff out there just waiting to be discovered and collaborated on. I'm very addicted to amusement parks. The more people, the better! I do have a dark streak though. I greatly enjoy all things macabre, maniacal, industrial, villainous, and just plan spooky. I'm usually working on various projects (novels, scripts, comics) when I'm by myself. I love talking about them, but only if I have an audience willing to hear me rant. I have a great sense of humor, though sometimes a little twisted. ..

My Interests

films, comics, video games, music, animation, Star Wars, zombies, American Japanese and British pop culture, classical literature and history, mythology, basiclay I dig almost everything that goes out of it's way to be entertaining and intriguing.

I'd like to meet:

I like people who like to hang out, someone who loves watching movies and listening to music and just talking about whatever comes to mind. I dig people who are humorous, intelligence, very open-minded, and willing to try new things. Basicaly, I enjoy just hanging out, making connections with all kinds of people, and just having a good time. I'm also looking for people who would like to work on comics, movies, and art. I have a lot of projects that need some talented people to bring my creations to life.
