Lots of interests I guess....mainly music of all genres, Chicago sports teams (excluding the Cubs!!), James Bond films, IRL (Indy Racing League), Bad Horror Films, Fashion,Zombies, Lots of roadtrips and seeing as much as humanly possible, oh and Beer and Jameson's Whiskey....I love Darkroom but miss club950 and Domeroom...good times

Movies
Well I'm your typical sci-fi/horror nerd so of course Star Wars trilogies, Blade+, Alien+,all james bond films, Airplane, electric dragon 8000V, Tetsuo, friday the 13th seies, nightmare on elmstreet series, all romero flicks and any (and I do mean ANY!) zombie films, shaun of the dead, rob zombie films, Underworld+,Matrix+,doctor detroit, revenge of the nerds+,Cobra,Terminator+, Robocob+, Something Wild, Robocop+, and I have a soft spot for some reason for John Cusack films(????)
Television
Some of the Tv shows that I like (or addicted to) are: Alias,Sarah Conner chronicles, MXC!!,Dark Angel,futurama, Cleopatra 2525, Man show, Scrubs, Dexter,Buffy, X-files, CSI, all of the old benny hills (well at this point they are ALL old arent they?)Saved by the Bell and just now getting into Star Trek TNG!! (actually I am only through season 3 and I'm totally addicted!)
Books
brave new world, world war z, the zombie survival guide, Chris Connelly's "My life as a revolting cock, martin atkins "tour:smart"(for the laughs), Columbine by Dave Cullen, Lord of Chaos, and of course any other book that talks about a dystopian future!
About me: Wow where to begin...I guess that I would say that I think I'm alot cooler than I look but not as cool as you would think I would be in my position. It almost seems that I have to live two separate lives sometimes. The first being my "day job" personna that wears a tie to work everyday and is up on the latest fashions and clothing labels. I work about 6 days a week with the equivilent of a 60 hr work week. The second being a person who is entirely into Music, especially seeing it live, as well as collecting it. (As a note I am strictly against the burning and copying of music and my personal cd collection is over 3700 titles strong.) I have gone on tour with/or road tripped with System of a Down, Apoptygma Berzerk, Monster Magnet, Beborn Beton, PTI,Rob Zombie and many others and I would guess that I have easily seen about 450-500 shows in my lifetime.Add to that the fact that I am one of chicago's main promoters of "electro,Industrial,gothic,trip-hop and new wave music" and have been doing shows for over 3+years.It is very difficult trying to make these 2 lives balance and I have lost friends, family,cars, and girlfriends over some of these decisions. I guess that is what drives my passion for the music even more. I will mainly use this site as a outlet for label updates,what shows I've seen, shows I'm promoting , What music I have bought, industrial scene reports and whatever else I may think would be worth checking out.---------------------------------------------
As a side note my pics are all way outdated and boring and due to a much healthier lifestyle (basically means more whiskey than beer) have managed to drop about 40 lbs in 3 months so I'm working on some more "current pics" so stay tuned----------------------------------------------------
I'm not real big on people who are totally judgemental- As many of you will see I have retired most of my "gothic" clothing but still love the lifestyle and music. And despite my "fashion sense" or lack there of still play a "major" part in the industrial scene in chicago and the midwest as a mover and shaker- Many many years ago what drew me to the "industrial/gothic" club scene is that people WERENT judgemental and they didnt care what you wore,where you worked or went to school.....As much as our scene is now about the fashion it is still based on all of our love for the great music and how we all fight against the conformity that is pop culture/mtv/top 40 radio etc etc. Don't be a sheep and let people hand feed to you what to eat/drink/watch/listen to-Be your own judge and walk your own path--------------------------------------------
