A little more about me: It seems I have quite a few friends here that know little or nothing about me so here goes. I'm an Army Veteran having served actively 1994-1998. I served as a communications specialist in Infantry, Signal and Combat Engineer units. I have an Honorable Discharge and earned several medals including The National Defense Medal, Army Acheivement Award and Expert Marksman Qualification. After the Army I spent some time in college studying mostly communications, history and politics courses. Over three years ago I began a new career in shipping and purchasing, leaving my Retail career to go fuck itself. My ancestry is Irish and Native American with scattered other Europeans throughout the family tree. I currently live up in the woods of Upstate NY with my new wife Jean, our pitbull Varg and our Chihuahuas Bella, Mouse and Ozzie. If there's something I didn't cover, feel free to ask.
Some little known facts about me:
-I read and write constantly. Often at the same time (See below.) I have a fairly extensive library that I enjoy showing off.
-I enjoy singing Karaoke. The Doors, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Mortician, Marduk, Stone Temple Pilots, Alice in Chains and Cannibal Corpse are some of my favorites.
-I'm a "crazy dog person." My Wife and I rescue neglected and unwanted dogs. We currently have four.
-I'm a perpetual Multi-tasker. It's not uncommon for me to be watching TV, listening to music, reading a book and on the internet at the same time.
-I am reasonably skilled at reading Tarot Cards.
-I am capable of giving lectures on a number of unusual subjects including: ghosts and hauntings, vampirism, magick, satanism, military history, witchcraft, paganism, underground metal and english literature.
-I collect and display bladed weapons.
-I enjoy vacationing in Maine and visiting the ocean with my Wife and my dogs.
-I am fairly empathic.
-I write reviews of music, movies, books and standup comedy.
-I own guns, and I'm quite skilled in their use.

Do not place your faith in such trinkets of deceit.



You are the Devil card. The Devil is based on the
figure Pan, Lord of the Dance. The earthy
physicality of the devil breeds lust. The
devil's call to return to primal instincts
often creates conflict in a society in which
many of these instincts must be kept under
control. Challenges posed by our physical
bodies can be overcome by strength in the
mental, emotional, and spiritual realms. Pan is
also a symbol of enjoyment and rules our
material creativity. The devil knows physical
pleasure and how to manipulate the physical
world. Material creativity finds its output in
such things as dance, pottery, gardening, and
sex. The self-actualized person is able to
accept the sensuality and usefulness of the
devil's gifts while remaining in control of any
darker urges. Image from The Stone Tarot deck.

Which Tarot Card Are You?

What Is Your Animal Personality?

I'd like to meet:

Band members, bands, deviants, criminals, your mother...Yahoo: c0ff1nf33d3r...AIM c0ff1nfeeder.To Book Blood Obsession email [email protected]
What's Your Inner Beast? [pics]

The Werewolf:

The Werewolf is the symbol for Spiritual Paths. You have the soul of a wolf inside you, which makes you warm and caring to those you love.

Strengths: Protection is a number one priority, and therefore you always gaurd the ones you love and keep tight bonds with your pack mates. Loyalty is strong within yourself, and you also expect it from the ones who are close to you.

Flip Side: Even though you care for those you love deeply, if they betray you, anger races through your veins. The Werewolf, despite it's warm fun-loving personality, can also stand up for itself if need be. You would have no problem hiding your anger if something sets you off balance.

Congratulations! You have a Werewolf inside!

Take the quiz:
Who would you be in the War of Armageddon?

The Antichrist
You'd be most fit for the role of The Antichrist in the War of Armageddon. You are the most vile of all human beings ever created. You possess supernatural powers not of this world, granted to you by satan himself. You are perhaps the most intelligent human, with a wit like a fox and the ability to manipulate yourself into or out of any situation. You will conquer the entire earth using manipulation and an iron fist. Mankind is merely a pawn to you, something to use and to abuse. You will lead the dark armies through hell's gates and onto earth to fight the last battle between good and evil.
