About Me

I guess the best adjective used to describe my self is artist. I enjoy intaking as much unique art as exhaling it, preferring art that compels you to form new thoughts and opinions about truth and reality since my belief is neither exist.

My Interests

Watching, reading, listening, thinking and along the way good conversation.

I'd like to meet:

you half way.

Music:

Couldn't live with out it. Music is amazing in that it not only sparks new thoughts and feelings but how it acts as a time machine bringing images, feelings and places you haven't been in years. As far as types I listen to it has a great range from Hip Hop to Japanese Punk. The current CDs I am rotating through are Ween - Chocolate and Cheese, Rip Slyme - "Good Job", Rob Zombie - Educated Horses, BALZAC - Out of the Grave and Into the Dark, Marilyn Manson - Mechanical Animals, Heads Will Roll - Extrapolate the Meaning, Portishead, NIN - [With Teeth], Bomb 20 - Field Manual, The Nice Device and Necropolis (DJ Spooky) - The Dialogic Project.

Movies:

When plopped on my couch this is what you'll find pouring out of my boob tube. While I watch a lot of different movies my favorite genre is horror. Some of my favorite directors are Tobe Hooper, David Cronenberg, David Lynch, George A. Romero, Shinya Tsukamoto and Takashi Miike. My recommended viewing list is Audition, A Snake of June, Naked Lunch, Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Night of the Living Dead, Punch Drunk Love, Tetsuo: The Iron Man, Ichi the Killer and V for Vendeta.

Television:

Is used to numb your mind then controle it...

Books:

The majority of my reading involves comic books and magazines but I usually knock out about three to four books a year. My favorite authors are William Gibson, Clive Barker and Neil Gainmen. The two most influential books I've read though have got to be William Borough’s Naked Lunch and Mark Z. Danielewski's House of Leaves. The later of which I am in the process of finishing, I am about three quarters of the way through. The craziest thing about this book is I feel as if I have not only discussed the basic theory behind the main story arc, but the characters names are all very familiar, so familiar it brings images of sitting in a lecture class discussing them in High School. I know of no class this would pertain to and the book was published six years after I graduated. These images add even more to the unsettling atmosphere of the book. I can not recommend this book enough; it's a great mixture of fiction and nonfiction.
