About Me


I can be by myself because I'm never lonely, I'm simply alone, living in my heavily populated solitude, a harum-scarum of infinity and eternity, and Infinity and Eternity seem to take a liking to the likes of me (Hrabal).

My Interests

Using objectified Will to create, heal, circumvent, and destroy.
That and heavy metal.
Pretty much everything else is just oscillating in and out of irrelevance.

I'd like to meet:

The minds of pack animals. Ancient and patient. Drawn to the dark.
Those that breathe, scheme, feel themselves dying and, in dying, live on.
Those who understand and perhaps relish the Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner.
More metalheads and less rockers. One Percenters.
I'm looking for '85-'91 Eastern European (Czech, Polish, Slovak, and Hungarian, specifically) black, death, and speed metal and '84-'86 Japanese speed metal. And a reasonably-priced late-70s/early-80s Ithaca Roadblocker 10 gauge, Glock 22 .40 caliber, or IMI Galil rifle (chambered for 7.62 mm). Contact me for trades.
I also would like to find a 1982 Yamaha XS650 (Special Heritage Edition) for under a thousand bucks. Or possibly a Kawasaki KZ1100.
