About Me

First off, I have friend requests turned off because i was getting one too many pornbots... so message me if you wanna 'friend' me or whatever the hell this joint calls it. lol.
In summary, I'm pretty much just a great big demented child who has an obsession with good coffee and good grub.
And Hopefully I'm smarter than I look... which isn't saying much. Gonna be a librarian one day so beware. Bring your books back on time or I'll go all medieval on yer ass.Despite AND because of the weather, i love this province and I think this'll be home base. I'm an amateur stormchaser, writer, and I know more movie trivia than is healthy, and have been periodically known to whore bands around if they're particularly funky.
The Padded Cell is a forum I set up in 2004. Here we have discussion on current events, politics, those questions most people wouldn't touch with a ten foot pole, music, KMFDM (who are a category all to themselves, hehehe), yes, zombies, pirates and kung fu. It's a great place to display your writing, photography and artwork. We're all generally a little looped in the head so it's not all serious.

"1492. As children we were taught to memorize this year with pride and joy as the year people began living full and imaginative lives on the continent of North America. Actually, people had been living full and imaginative lives on the continent of North America for hundreds of years before that. 1492 was simply the year sea pirates began to rob, cheat, and kill them."
Kurt Vonnegut (1922 - ), Breakfast of Champions

My Interests

Local radio station CJTR 91.3, my bro has a show there called Hard Wired. All Industrial for two hours every friday night at 11pm CST

I'd like to meet:

I'm pretty much a hermit so meeting people isn't my big priority. but if you be funky then hey, why not?
