About me

Gender Male
Location NYC, NY
Introduction I've been called a thug-mystic who dabbles in man's shadow nature, a warrior-poet with an awfully sick sense of humor, a modest narcissist, a humble megalomaniac, a sociable sociopath, and of course (many, many times) an asshole. I write. I write lots. I write for magazines, I write for friend's fanzines. I scribble my fair thoughts with Shakespearean eloquence, and top it all off with beatnik lingo. You dig? So, if you like to read... hell, I write.
Interests I love to read. In one week I'll read books and magazines by the dozen. I love to write. I write articles on esoteric knowledge, serial and mass murder, pop culture trivia, occult subjects, conspiracy theory and kook science: feastofhateandfear.com I love music. I have more vinyl than most people have CDs, and have way more CDs than vinyl, so it's quite a library. I also play in a few bands and side-projects just to travel and release aggression. I have played with Timescape Zero, Sound 4 Sound, None Dare Call It Treason, The Goslings and many more. I love film. I collect and trade underground film, rare flicks and trash cinema. I love the outdoors. Once every so often I hitch-hike through different states, or go camping out where civilization is far, far away. While, finally - and don't laugh - I also collect coins and stamps.
Favorite Movies Texas Chainsaw Massacre (the original), The Omen, Fort Apache: The Bronx, Hairspray, Pink Flamingos, Female Trouble and all other John Waters' films... the earlier the better, A Clockwork Orange, Begotten, Salo: 120 Days of Sodom, Iron Monkey, Lolita (all versions and remakes), Metropolis, The Mack, Guerreros, The Angelic Conversation, Sweet Sweetback's Baadasssss Song, Tattoo, Fausto 5.0, L'Auberge Espagnole, In My Skin, Cruising, Nosferatu, Smithereens, Oldboy, The Quiet Earth, Suicide Club, Darktown Strutters, City of God, Perdita Durango, Secuestro Express, Nekromantik, Tod Browning's Freaks, Goodbye Uncle Tom, The Blood of a Poet, Natural City, Haxan, F for Fake, Thriller: A Cruel Picture, The Crippled Masters, The Toxic Avenger and millions of feet of film I won't go into. I prefer quality flicks, but sometimes a bad movie makes for great commentary shouting.
