It seemed like a good idea at the time.

About Me


I was much more fun when I was high, but now I can pay the rent on time.

I could have been famous by now, but I am easily distracted by

(Think I'm getting the hang of this HTML stuff)

My Interests

Breathing, escapism, meandering conversations with no real purpose or conclusion, Christopher Walken, butts.

Oh, and I write brooding, verbose, philosophical and sentimental fan fictions at:

And, assuming you like those, you'll probably like my flawed but valient first and, so far, only novel:

The Porcelain Doll

I'd like to meet:

Someone with a plausible explanation.

I used my own background
but got my layout from

Music:

This album changed my life!
And I also like Mathis, Genesis, Stravinsky, Rennaissance, PFM, Weather Report, Saint Seans Symphony 3 with the lights off, Nat King Cole, The Zombies, anything Motown, Chi-Lites, Chic with DiMiola, Paco, Megadeth, Porcupine Tree, Bruce Cockburn, Fear Factory, Tribal Tech, Sepultura, Tony MacAlpine, pretty much anything Jason and Marty have done, Chopin Sonata #3, Metallica, FORBIDDEN! Rimsky Korsakov, Khachaturian, Rodrigo, John Williams (both of them) Leo Kotkee, How coudld I forget TULL!... and other stuff in that general vicinity.

Movies:

Artificial Intelligence, Zozo, V For Vendetta, At Play In The Fields Of The Lord, My 20th Century, 2001 ASO, The Killing Fields, Apocolypse Now, West Side Story, Enter The Dragon, LOTR Trilogy, Star Wars trilogy, Brokeback Mountain, Motorama, TP-Firewalk With Me, Downfall, Dazed And Confused, Midnight Cowboy, City of Hope (pretty much anything Sayles has done)Around The Bend, MirrorMask, An Inconvenient Truth, You Are Not Alone, Come And See, The Ogre .... the more I name the more come to mind, so I'd better stop.

Television:

Mr Show, The Simpsons, Malcolm In The Middle (first 3 seasons anyway), Deadwood(!), The Rifleman (DVD), The Daily Show, Arrested Developement, Futurama was better than Family Guy so WTF happened? Colbert is great but it is almost impossible to satirize right wing hacks, CSPAN, AMW... hmmmm

Books:

LOTR, Interview w/a Vampire, Jack Olsen/Anne Rule type true crime stories, Potter of course, escapist, horror, sci-fi, lite historical etc... I don't really read much as I used to. Gaiman's "American Gods" was the last thing I got though.

Heroes:

Ralph Nader, Michael Parenti, Noam Chomsky, Martin Luther King, Bono, Sam Sedar etc ... I don't know... pretty much anyone who pisses in the face of caustic pseudo-Christian neo-fasciest fukheads and their life-sucking military-industrial corporate puppeteers.
