About Me

I am the owner and webmaster for http://www.industrial-lyrics.com I really love industrial music, and do as much as I can to support and promote it and the bands that make it.
I choose not to fuck up my profile by changing font colors and adding pictures. It's fine if you want to do it, but I don't. It's not that I don't know how. I'm a fucking web programmer. I know how to add background pictures and crap. Please don't message me about why I don't have anything "interesting" in my profile. I don't want it. If you have a problem with my profile, grow up and don't look at it.
I do however think this is the greatest commercial ever made, and that it should be shared. The song is "One Million Miles Away" by J. Ralph, and can be found on iTunes. It is soooooo worth a dollar.
..
I'm currently a student of photography.
I like to travel, though I have a hard time letting go of things. Once I've been somewhere for a day or so I get attached. I've been to Thailand twice, one time for Habitat for Humanity. I've been to Canada. I've also been to: Alaska, California (duh), Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Montana, South Dakota, Wyoming, West Virginia, Connecticut, Maine, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Iowa, Utah, Nebraska, Kentucky, Arizona, New Mexico, Nevada, Colorado, Kansas, Missouri, Oklahoma, Texas, New York, Maryland, Virgina, New Jersey... Ok there were some others, but I don't actually remember going to them :-D
I used to be a computer geek/hacker. I spent a number of years enthralled with technology. I even spent two years majoring in computer programming.
I am now a fine art photographer. I work almost exclusively in film. Don't get me started on why I don't like digital. I do use digital for some things, but I avoid it whenever possible. No, I am not afraid of it. I am actually an analog convert. I started in digital, and switched.
I own Industrial Inc., which at the moment does 1" pins for various industrial bands. Down the line I have plans for much, much more. You'll just have to wait and see.

I've recently been coming across a lot of lines in songs that are apropos of things going on, so I've decided to collect them here:

"A mistreated machine can start acting mean It can crack up all over the place"-"Oh, Injury" by Rasputina "All throughout my life, like a parasite it seemed A burden to my mind, it never was a part of me But now it's gone, I'm sitting here unable to explain This sudden happiness, I wonder have I gone insane?"-"Dysmorphia" by Terror Punk Syndicate "Is it any wonder I can't sleep? All I have is all you gave to me Is it any wonder I found peace through you? Turn to the gates of heaven To myself be damned Turn away from light" -"Eye" by Smashing Pumpkins "Well, lately I've been wondering If this is all there is Have I been here today? Was I here yesterday?" -"Contrast" by The Parallel Project "It's a long way down And everything's broken It's crazy what some will do for love" -"You Better Leave the Stars Alone" by Ego Likeness "I am not alone I am not afraid I am not unhappy Such a stupid ritual to have to say to myself everyday" -"Fearless" by VNV Nation "Well, I've been afraid of changing 'Cause I built my life around you But time makes you bolder Children get older I'm getting older, too" -"Landslide" by The Dixie Chicks "Nowadays I keep closing my eyes 'Cause it never stops Nowadays I keep waiting for change But it never comes Stuck with the old" -"Nowadays" by Babyland
