About Me

Just signed an awesome new contract, working with / supplementing a consulting firm partnered with the developers of a "grizzled-editor- / wet-eared-journalist- friendly" web suite. It's not quite the way I expected to start, but I just made money for working on small computer games in my underwear. Just found a new sweetie, who's passionate, loving, and, yes, perhaps more than a little bit dorky. This, too, didn't start quite the way I thought it would. I sense a pattern.
No, I am not a band. If you have a "no bands in my friends list" policy, come on, I'm just some guy with a couple of instruments and no hosting. The glockenspiel doesn't even count, does it?
Downtime includes some good films, too many bad ones, and occasionally playing a couple hours of a video game before I realize I don't like it. Still, I hold belief - no, faith - in all forms of media. Everything from movies to video games to music to the graphic novel (holy shit, Gaiman & Morrison,) and all points in between, can achieve a level at which it means enough to be considered art. The condition to this is the only way any work, no matter how great, meaningful, or even flawed, can truly become art, at once true to its medium and defiant of its rules, is to do what it, and no other media, can do.

HEDGEHOG CARE TIPS:

adopt your own virtual pet!
Influences: Skinny Puppy has so much texture you can feel their songs like you can feel your clothing. KMFDM taught me that even if you kick ass, there's no need to be all serious about it. Bowie taught me it's okay to be a late adopter, or even a rip-off artist, as long as you beat everyone at their own game... but also to be selective of which games you play. Stevie Wonder sent me on a decade-long journey to find a "sound-alike" patch for the clav in "Superstition."
Sounds Like: ...the things I hear in my head, thus comforting me when I listen to them and know that they are real.
Record Label: Huh?
Type of Label: None

The squirrels get busy...

A 36-year-old legend just clocked a 21-year-old in an epic 5-set match. That's awesome, I hit my damnable second wind as soon as I saw the game was still going, and now I'm stuck awake. So, boys and g...

BurgerFucker III: Chicken Fellator

Here's a little something for you to slurp on: Yeah, yeah, yeah, so it's not as convincing as some of the others; it's close enough, damn it, and there's no way I could pass up a pun like "Chicken Fe...

No matter what it is you want to say, Jefferson's already said it better.

To the corruptions of Christianity I am indeed opposed, but not to the genuine precepts of Jesus himself. I am a Christian, in the only sense in which he wished anyone to be: sincerely attached to his...

So... did you fuck a burger yet, or what?

Look, whatever, I'm a fairly tolerant person. If there can be websites for people who like to rub balloons all over their naked bodies, and entire subcultures for people who like to dress up like anim...
