Smells like music in here

About Me

I'm sorta quiet until I get to know you. Then I have an uncanny ability to put my foot in my mouth and say stupid stuff. I manage an Arby's restaurant. Each day is something new. Fish tacos are my favourite food. I am married to an extraordinary woman, whom I love and am in love with. We like to show papillon dogs and meet people at dog shows.

Remember the first time you went to a show and saw your favorite band. You wore their shirt, and sang every word. You didn't know anything about scene politics, haircuts, or what was cool. All you knew was that this music made you feel different from anyone you shared a locker with. Someone finally understood you. This is what music is about." -Gerard Way- Really Great Band Photography by Josh Hofer

He's singing and dancing. He's pulling rabbits out of a hat.Big Brother's busy holding your attention every moment you're awake. He's making sure you're always distracted. He's making sure you're fully absorbed. He's making sure your imagination withers. Untill it's as useful as your appendix. He's making sure your attention is always filled.And this being fed, it's worse that being watched. With the world always filling you, no one has to worry about what's in your mind. With everyone's imagination atrophied, no one will ever be a threat to the world."- Chuck Palahniuk
