I eat meat, because meat is yummy

About Me

There is music, and there is death. There are other absolutes, but I don't care about them. It doesn't matter what you listen to, even if I dislike it. That's your business. Love your sound. It's the audible expression of your soul. Don't let snobby elitists tell you what to enjoy. Listening to them will not make you sexier. Like it, point at it, and say, "that's fucking good music." I used to write music, but I've gone astray. Perhaps one day I'll jump back into that scene if there are people to do it with. I like but am not limited to ambient, industrial, experimental, progressive, orchestral or combinations of the like.
"All conflicts are battles with personal nature. Even if it starts elsewhere, it's a person's own will that's ultimately tested. No man knows his own strength by beating down his enemy. He knows it by his own capacity to suffer his frustration and humiliation when he has nothing left. Who will he be when he can do nothing to help himself? It's not about winning, it's about whether or not he will give in to his struggle."

My Interests

My interests are to lounge around with my friends, listen to music, learn new things about the world, keep idealism afloat, and eliminate closed-mindedness one fleshy bag of water at a time.

I'd like to meet:

Tall people, short people, and anyone in between.

Dear People Who Want Me to Check Out Their Webcam: There isn't a human being in the world hot enough to make me want to pay money to see them nekkid. I can see boobs for free, and usually all of my dirty, perverted fantasies come true. Most of you are quite attractive, and I appreciate your willingness to dig into my wallet. But when I check my inbox I get all giddy, and yet there's you and your "invitation". Women who want me to see them nekkid just because are much hotter. So please ignore me. Just skip on by and we'll call it good.

That was kinda anti-climactic

Apparently they interspliced my scene with the actors scene. When Hurley is talking, it's me. When they pan out, it's the real actors. Anyway, apparently it was the first scene of the show. I saw my h...

In a Perfect World

This has been a hard weekend around my house here. This was a very bustling place once. We had lots of neighbors and guests over all the time. But lately everyone has been going away. It seems like th...

Those Damn Trail Blazers

I should have said something earlier about them, but I think I've been so captivated by them that I haven't found the time. Well, that's actually not true. I'm having a severe case of writers block, a...

The Best and the Worst American Day, Back to Back

I think it's terrible that the best day of the year immediately precedes the worst day of the year. I kind of wish it was the other way around. Thanksgiving is by far my favorite holiday. The day afte...

Eulogy for the Ducks

I've made mention of my sports teams from time to time, for good or for bad. I mentioned the U. of Oregon's basketball team doing well last season, Vancouver's playoff run and elimination in the NHL, ...

Lost Shoot, Second Adventure

They postponed the shoot until Monday, which was kind of inconvenient because I had to work the night before, but I wasn't about to pass it up. So I came home after work, had a bite to eat, and left a...

They Called Me Back, I Get a New Gig

I had a conversation last week with some friends. You've had these before. It's "how much money would you take to do something you really don't want to do,  like give another dude head," or ...

So This Is the Tale of My Lost Adventures

We showed up for casting call at 6am. They had asked us to bring warm looking clothes befitting of Oxford University students (or English people). I saw a rather convincing Harry Potter look-a-like. I...
