I like my coffee black, just like my metal!

About Me

Just your typical wacky cay (if there can, in fact, be such a thing) who's masquerading as someone who attempts to lend himself a certain air of credibility and sophistication. I try to look at the lighter side of the dark side. Come on, it's funnier that way. Decency, what? So I guess the whole "credibility" thing is pretty doomed. Oh well, as long as there's a Doom Song.

My Interests

The usual... good movies (usually foriegn/indie/documentaries), movies so bad they're good, lots and lots of music from across all genres...I love my old school Pentax K1000, especially when it's loaded up with some Ilford B/W film, and I can roam around the street shooting to my heart's content. However, I have betrayed my film past in favor of an Olympus E500, which allows me to really shoot to my heart's content. Hundreds of shots in one outing? Rock on.I like antique stores and thrift shops and weird memorabilia; however, I'm fascinated by technology and spend a lot of (read: probably too much) time on the ol' internets here.I'm back in school working toward becoming a high school English teacher. And when I'm not doing all this stuff, I'm spending time with my gal.

I'd like to meet:

A benefactor.

Goodbye, crazy nameless hillbilly
