Programming today is a race between software engineers striving to build bigger and better idiot-proof programs, and the Universe trying to produce bigger and better idiots. So far, the Universe is winning."

now me likes: music, art, baseball, Wall Street, the autumn, dying leaves and all things spooky and dark...however, that said, I am NOT a morose type...the beauty of morbidity empowers me, it does not in any way depress me;
wallowing in self-inflicted wounds is for losers.........

Heroes
My lone hero was from when I was a little boy: Mets/Cub outfielder Jim Hickman; not a great ball player,
but on these teams, he was the best, or close.
I also was a big fan of Dave Kingman: 6'7 KING KONG, who hit over 400 homeruns (442),and hit many tape measure shots of 500 ft. or more, WITHOUT STEROIDS.
Kingman either hit a ball outta sight, or struck out.
He has to be the only player in MAJOR LEAGUE HISTORY who drove in 100 runs while batting a sad .200 (.204, 1982); that same year KINGMAN also led the league in homers---with a 204 batting average! ...another KINGMAN first!
and KING KONG was the second greatest in on-field brawls, bested by only Ray Knight. third runner up: Tim Foli .

About me: Contact TablesProfile Edited by MPS MySpace Editor 2.0
I'M AN ALTERNATIVE MUSIC RADIO LEGEND, HAVING BEEN INVOLVED WITH POST-MODERN MUSIC SINCE 4 EVER...
(My bio can be found below at the EDGEFEST 2008 link in my Top friends--or check companies for just my resume)
I LIKE...
rural atmospheres, southern graveyards, deep dark woods, sleeping, people who treat the janitor no different than they treat the CEO; people who are aware enough to know that religion is just a spiritual preference and NOBODY is right or wrong...non-snobs, non- dicks, non- prima donnas.
people who are dark and brooding, but NOT miserable ppl; it is possible to separate the three---
SHIT I DON'T LIKEY SO MUCH:
arrogant, self important, pretentious posers who think they gotta be seen in the right clubs with the right ppl or they won't be happening or totally down with it; and I don't mind SCENESTERS if that's truly their calling, but posers within the scene are sad, lonely ppl...
I also dislike rude people...update! NOW, I HATE rude ppl--I've upsized on my view of that--if ur rude: FUCK YOU--
1 more bitch: I dislike ppl who have NO APPRECIATION OR REVERENCE FOR ANYONE'S ACCOMPLISHMENTS; a good example would be people who routinely call THE CLINTONS scumbags, as if it's THE CLINTONS who have done nothing with their lives, while these same people go to work at the 7/11 and spend the weekend drinking beer and jerking off in the attic...all good and essential things, by the way, as long as you're NOT dissing other people who have more elevated goals than you in your off time...
okay, 2 bitches: I dislike research groups of any kind, and now that I think of it, clubs of any kind AT ALL..
I am about as anti-club as one can be; for whatever reason I have NEVER had any desire to be accepted by a bunch of preening pricks who are my peers at a country club, or anywhere else, including broadcasting...
I believe this is because I KNOW WHO I AM and so I don't need anyone--OTHER THAN ME--to valid my worth.
or, it could just be that I don't like people in general cuz they're pricks...
hey, I think it IS pretty much the latter...
basically, if ya want to know my world view, watch any GEORGE CARLIN HBO special from about 1992 onwards;
George basically had no tolerance for bull-shitters, pricks, dumbasses, posers and people's inane little priorities that drive them from morning until night; basically he, and I, are anti-social in a major way...
although with me, I'll always try to give people the benefit of the doubt until they hang themselves, which is usually done within a couple of minutes.
on politics: BOTH PARTIES could give a fuck LESS about YOU-
so if YA THINK ur party is somehow more moral and more concerned about your well being, or morality in general, or even more protective of the country than the other party, ur an effin idiot--cuz THAT IS the idiot test--this country is run and controlled by big money and by the big corporations; has been for 30 years and the stupid-ass populace (you) is kept distracted and amused by rap music and sporting events---so get REAL when demonizing one side or the other; culture isn't corrupt cuz of gays blowing each other, nor is that destroying marriages--No,it's POS, selfish ppl who only give a damn about WHAT THEY WANT, all else be damned, that's gettin' that shit done, mmmmkay-?
---okay, if there are somma cool-ass rumors you've heard and want verified or c shot down, let me know !
c ya...
Who I'd like to meet: I don't have any obsession/stalker tendencies, so really no one...I LIKE MEETING JUST PPL, IN GENERAL, IF THEY'RE NOT ASS-HOLES, SO THAT KICKS OUT ABOUT 50% OF THE POPULATION RIGHT THERE......
and the few musicians I have admired, I've met thanks to my work...
I love this. Its kinda tormented because the woman in the vid just got back from war it seems and there's peace and happiness effin everywhere but she just can't seem to find it herself. HOW TRUE. Depeche Mode - "Peace"
I really hope there is a bit of the dark and wicked shit blasting forth from 99.5's towers tomorrow evening.....the Halloween edition of the Edge CD that you mailed out last year has been a big hit in my friends circle.
I caught your show last night in and out of a thick and cloudy haze. The Cure and NIN I do remember, along with a lot of creepy hippie shit. Excellent. I hope you're not taking next Saturday night off J. Much love and Happy Halloween!
COYOTE! On here for the first time in a while. Love you and miss you much - I was just chatting with some guy on facebook the other day about which CD stores we used to hit up to buy your playlist :) Got any new recommendations for me?? Hope life is treating you well.
