Death, decay, attrition, and destruction. Dadaists, decontructionists, and demolitionists. Obscure, occult, and hidden knowledge. Unusual inventions. Cats. And fuzzy children's toys. I like to annoy my girlfriend (she's still around after 16 years; she's a trooper!). I travel, camp, hike, and love to visit places where I'm not allowed. I have an unnatural nostalgia for times and places I've never existed in--some people say I have an old soul. I collect 1920's-30's 78rpm records, silent films, and vintage fashion. I love antique and thrift shopping, especially for weird electronic gadgets, strange music, and odd curios. I revel in the strange, dark, bizarre, absurd, disturbing, funny, freakish, and campy. Especially when it's all of those at once.
Music
So it's obvious that I am into old goth/punk, deathrock, batcave, etc. but other forms of music I obsess over are old analog industrial and synthpunk, early EBM like DAF,
anarcho-punk, art-punk, Black Sabbath, pre-punk like the Stooges, old blues like Charlie Patton, Bessie Smith, and Leadbelly, Prohibition-era jazz, Neues Deutsche Welle, French coldwave, pretty much anything that was released on wax cylinders and shellac 78rpm records, avant-garde classical like Stockhausen, 60's garage-rock, torch singers like Edith Paif and Josephine Baker, kraut-synthmeisters like Cluster and Klaus Schulze, other early electronic pioneers like Martin Subotnik, as well as dark-ambient, noise, death-industrial, and weird instructional records. I also like to listen to machines and motors.
And I own my own 45rpm adapter. And 7 turntables. 6 of which work.
Movies
Man Bites Dog. Cabinet of Dr. Caligari. Beetlejuice. Wallace and Gromit. Blacula. City of Lost Children. Metropolis. Brazil. Delicatessen. The Dark Crystal. 1984. Animal Farm. Decasia. Edward Scissorhands. Anything by Aki Kaurismaki. Silent films. Vintage cartoons. Old horror. Creature features. Old Sci-fi with spaceships on strings and people in robot suits. Psychotronic. Porno bloopers.
Television
Family Guy. Secrets of the Dead. My Name is Earl. The Office. Jeeves and Wooster. When Animals Attack (I root for the animals). Arrested Development. Travel with Rick Steves. Pee-Wee's Playhouse. Antiques Roadshow. Scrubs. I think there should a reality show featuring terminally ill patients who wish to die participating in extreme stunts.
Books
Struwwelpeter. Wisconsin Death Trip. European history. Anthropology. Paganism. Mythology/folklore. Occult. Folk and historical erotica. Post-mortem photographs. Disease and pathology. Vintage cartoons (esp. Krazy Kat). Obscure science. Scratch-and-sniff. Supernatural/paranormal. Edward Gorey. Books with buttons that make sounds.
Don't let my slender build fool you; I have a voice deep enough to be either a goth-singer or to induce hypnotic sleep.

Some people call me the space cowboy, some people call me the gangster of love. Nobody, but nobody calls me Maurice.
I live in the shady ground between contradictions; I am a people person but am also a misanthrope waiting for humanity's comeuppance; I have excellent rifle marksmanship and can apply eyeliner on myself; I love incense but can't stand hippies.
Other people have called me well-versed, even-keeled (excepting my bouts of exaggerated gesticulation), frolicsome, imperturbable, cartoonish, and sick. I tend to be the nicest person people have known. Little do they know. That I can be even nicer. Like fluffy bunnies. Stuffed inside of fluffy sheep rolled in sacchrine and dipped in pink glaze. With a pretty bow on top.
I can be sympathetic, empathetic, but mostly just pathetic. The truth is always stranger than fiction, therefore I always strive for the truth. I used to find and collect four-leaf clovers as a child. I have zero cavities and have all my wisdom teeth. I've known a clown personally, and yes, he was an alcoholic. I am a vegan because animals are my friends and I don't eat my friends. However, I am compiling recipes on how to prepare delicious home-cooked meals out of my enemies.
I love art and media that is high-brow, low-brow, and especially uni-brow. I find humor in nonsensical health and safety warnings. I entertain myself by making sound-effects with my mouth. To make best use of my genetic attribute of German efficiency, I am part of the problem AND part of the solution, thus effectively cancelling myself out.
I am an advocate for arming the homeless, home surgeries, and out-sourcing the presidency. I put my money where my mouth is, much to the chagrin of retail clerks everywhere. I love bad weather.
Who I'd like to meet: The walking undead. And the ones that jog. Anyone wanting to fulfill a request to my seasonal business where I secretly come to someone else's house and take down their Christmas lights up past New Years. Zoo-dating is never an option for me.
Sorry it's late. I wasn't able to get my Halloween comments out on time. By the time I woke up it was time for me to hop in the shower, dress up, and hand candy out to trick-or-treater's. Oh, well better late than never, right? Hope you Halloween was postively magical!
