They found me at the wench auction.

About Me

One day, while minding my own business as a german street performer, I was kidnapped by thugs and sold at a wench auction. I was purchased by an eccentric captain of a pirate ship - Capt. Helmuth Von Pinkenstein. I went with him willingly, joining a colorful crew of characters on the mighty vessel - the Ebba Giselle.
I was employed chiefly as a wench at first, being treated to a few pence for my services. But I quickly gained the respect of the crew; they found my sharp wit and dry humor charming. But it was my underlined gentle demeanor that won the heart of the captain, and we became close companions.
The hijinks of the Ebba Giselle on the Atlantic Ocean are legendary - oh, the stories I could tell. But alas, my Helmuth passed away, and I chose to settle in New Brunswick, Canada. I lead a quiet life now; I am a humble baker, and I foxy box on weekends. Every now and again though, the sea beckons me, and I rejoin the crew for another rowdy adventure - freight liners and luxury craft beware! And always with us in our hearts is our beloved captain.
On his deathbed, Helmuth asked me to take the reigns as captain, and take his name; and so I did. My name is Sonnenschein Von Pinkenstein. You can call me Sonny.
Note: I may be the only person on MySpace with a pirate persona who isn't into Pirates of the Caribbean - please don't lynch me.

My Interests

hijinks tomfoolery shenanigans drunken plank walking bare knuckle boxing jig dancing warding off the scurvy jewel encrusted shiny things designer eye patches
oh yes, I can't forget the simple joys of a monkey knife fight:

the boys pink things dragons dogs tattoos hot cups of tea Nintendo game shows hockey boxing baking yummy treat; there is a difference between cooking and baking - I hate cooking, I love baking modern art; living artists interior design Homer J. Simpson nightclubs making lists shopping; clothes, shoes drawing and writing apple blossoms radio contests lip gloss trivial conversations jeeps Tim Hortons coloring books weddings; not mine, I'd never do it myself, but I like going to weddings and watching them on television - and I love really unique wedding dresses and themes chinese food rice krispie squares impersonating a writer interesting architecture german culture browsing catalogues; mail order dissecting movies the smell of coconut, bergamot, bayberry, pie in the oven, fresh cut grass and hay, and the ocean

I'd like to meet:

Arrr, other pirates and scurvy devils, such as:

Captain Morgan

Pirate Picard

Cap'n Crunch

Music:

I like my sea shanties loud and heavy, and especially live. And by the way, according to Korn in "Korn's Groovy Pirate Ghost Mystery" - Pirate Ghost would suggest that a pirate died and became a ghost, but a Ghost Pirate is a ghost that later made a concious decision to be a pirate...
I'm into rock oddities like Korn, Mudvayne, Marilyn Manson, Queens of the Stone Age, Static X, Faith No More. German industrial like Rammstein, KMFDM, Megaherz. I like Wyclef Jean; his music has depth but it's fun too. A few Canadian artists like Hawksley Workman, Sam Roberts, Robin Black & the IRS, The Tea Party. When the mood dictates, I can listen to trashy hip hop and pop. I like all sorts of music; except country western and cowboy rock, but Dolly Parton is a pretty cool chick.
Hmm, what else is good...Prince, Deftones, Rob Zombie, A Perfect Circle, Kittie, NIN, The Sex Pistols, Motörhead, LL Cool J, Placebo, Danko Jones, System of a Down, Slipknot, Weird Al, Ol' Dirty Bastard, Beck, Lil Jon, Shocore, Hole, classic Metallica/Megadeth, Jewel

Movies:

Arrr, that Johnny Depp is a fine actor, but he's no pirate! Johnny boy - stick to the scissorhands and portrayals of eccentric journalists
I like lots of movies - zombie, action, drama, b movies, anime, even a couple of comedies and chick flicks, but I'd much rather share a few of my favorite actors: Patrick Stewart, Jeremy Irons, Johnny Depp, Jeff Goldblum, Crispin Glover, Alan Rickman, Vincent Price, Billy Bob Thornton. I suppose I should mention a female...I'll go with Parker Posey
Oops! I can't believe that I left out Corey Feldman!

So many more; who remembers such things?

Television:

Marge:These seas are certainly heaving. Pirate: No more than your bountiful bosom, milady. Marge: Does that earring mean you're a pirate? Pirate: Kinda.
So yes, I'm obsessed with The Simpsons. I like The Hour with George Stroumboulopoulos; and most everything else on CBC/CBC Newsworld. And I like some of the stuff on HGTV and the Life Network. King of the Hill is funny. I like the Trailer Park Boys. The Chappelle Show was hilarious. Deadwood is great - the writing/acting is awesome and Ian McShane is stellar. And I love game shows. I'm not into a lot of television anymore, I spend more time mourning my favorites from the past - Voltron, Jem and the Holograms, Mr. Dressup (the classic ones with Casey and Finnegan), Hilarious House of Frightenstein, WWF in the 80's and early 90's, The A-Team (I think the A-Team started my obsession with jeeps), Beat the Geeks, The Norm Show, Freaks and Geeks, The Dana Carvey Show, The Richard Bey Show, Star Trek: Voyager, The (short-lived) Chair with John McEnroe, The Buzz, and classic episodes of The Nature of Things with David Suzuki.

Books:

Love In The Time Of Scurvy

I'm not a big reader, I'd like to read more but it makes me sleepy. I like Anne Rice, and Farley Mowat is great. And Joan Clark is good too. Harper Lee, Roald Dahl, Tolkien; all lovely. Clive Barker, Ray Bradbury, the works of Homer (not Simpson; the Greek dude)

Heroes:

Two departed land lovers who would have made fine pirates: Ernie Coombs and Vincent Price (actually, come to think of it, I'm having a recollection of Ernie in a pirate costume - Vincent too)
More awesome people: Her Majesty Queen Rania Al-Abdullah of Jordan, His Holiness the 14th the Dalai Lama, David Suzuki, Muhammad Yunus, George Galloway
