About Me

.. ..Lets start this off by saying, in no uncertain terms.... I AM NOT A HAVEN FOR YOUR SPAM. If you want to comment with info on your stuff, fine.. but don't make it a huge picture that takes up 3/4 of a page. Lets be realistic here, shall we?Now on to the best part.... ME! I'm cool I'm a Heva (male diva) I am a fantical fan of Nightmare Before Christmas. I am into the goth/industrial sceen. Tattoos, piercings, and a slew of other things. I love the dark part of life as much as the light side. I will get more into things as time, and motivation becomes available. lol One can not embrace light, without first embraceing the dark. The trick is finding the balance between the two. I go from being all fluffy and kind to being all hard and gruff. Depends on the situation. I am actually a hopeless romantic.. and one day it WILL be all disney and fucking rainbows damned it! (even if they ARE spooky rainbows) ;) lol I am, and always will be, an artist. And a friend of mine put it best, I have sacrificed money to hold onto my art. And thats a bitch. I am actually working a "normal" type job right now.. it is helping me stabalize my life and get the funds to continue with my art.A recent injury at work (which I am still recovering from) has made me realise many things in my life have been off kilter. That being said, I have been makeing plans to dive back into the things that made me happiest in life: Art SPFX Make-up People and Halloween It is amazeing how clouded ones visions can become when faced with the pre-concieved notions of societal training. I am also a recent member of the Palatine JayCees, good group of people, very fun, very accepting, great networking and social work. You should really ask me about em! ;)a little more about my passions... I have been a make-up and spft artist for some time now. I have worked on a number of film, shows, and events in that time. I am insanely passionate about the haunted industry. Unfortunately, I feel it is to full of ego and backstabbing. So I am hopeing that there are others, like me, that wants to end that and elevate the entire industry. I have keyed Fright Fest in Il, Painted and sculpted for Knotts Scary Farm, and made masks for universal studios. This is in addition to holding seminars for haunts on make-up design, been a speaker for pannels on the haunted attraction industry, and given of my knowledge as freely as I am able to. I only hope that there will be people in turn that do the same for me. I am good, but always strive to be better and on the look out for inovative strides. Updates on what is going on will start to happen more regularly on here as far as art and such goes. Well, once I am recovered enough to actually DO the art I am ment to.I can be very opinionated, especialy in what I feel is a right cause. I am pro choice and believe that no one should controll some one elses body.I feel that illegal imegrants should be prosecuted, as well as the companies that employ them. I wish that everybody that wants to come here can, just do it legaly. Thats all I ask.I think that gay marriage should not only be allowed, but encouraged! Let them be in the same hell as the rest of us! lol! But seriously, who are you and your religion to say that only certaian people should be allowed to love one another? It is a sad society where the people that are suposed to love, forgive, and not judge those around them are the ones that offend most in those areas.Also, get your religion out of my govt, school, and science! Whatever you want to believe is fine with me, but don't tell me that I have to be a certain way because of a book that is outdated and a STORY. Get it out of my schools. Religion is taught in the home and places of worship. It belongs no where else.One does not need the labels associated with religion to be a good person. It is unfortunate that people forget that most simple of concepts.Oh and despite Bloodcicles conviction that I am a rageing gay boi (which I have many friends that are) I am not. (much to the dismay of the aformentioned gay bois). LOL! Thanks though sweety! I knew I could always count on you for moral support and all that! *plots revenge*And as fair warning...I am an "ohh shiney!" which means I get distracted very easily. I can also be shallow, vain, egotistical, opinionated, etc etc. If I love ya one day, I may not be able to stand you the next. But I will like you again in a few days. When I hate, I hate completely...though it takes some time for me to get to that point.Oh yeah... and to all you shitty bands.. I DON'T CARE. Stop trying to friend me. Unless you are a GOOD band, then please... feel free. And yes... you know if you suck or not. Thanks.And please, despite all my bravado, I truely DO wish for people to stop kill each other for stupid reasons. Stop with the hate and insecurity, it makes you look sad, scared, and pathetic. oh yeah... and I is a zombie!

My Interests

Gads.. tons, from art (though a red dot on a yellow canvas is NOT art to me), to horseback rideing, romantic anything, coffee shops with someone cool, walinking around chicago, camping, white water rafting, clubs, people, (sometimes people suck though) sculpting, make-up, and the list goes on. OH! And Halo. I can't wait for Halo3 to come out!!! *bounce bounce bounce* I just need people to play with. lol

I'd like to meet:

Someone who is actually real. No fakeness please. I can't stand the lies, the cheating, the BS. If you are any of these.. don't bother. I don't want to know you. But if you like to do different and interesting things.. not make the other person hold the conversation, and are a generaly nice person.. say hi. :) Oh.. and if I am .... feel free to instant message me... if I can.. I will chat for a bit. :D ARTISTS. I want to meet you all. Scupltural, metal,electronic,2d,3d,paint,fabric,nude...whatever. I would also love to meet people that are passionate about SOMETHING in their lives. Without that fire within, what do we really have?
