Second - This quote pretty much sums reality up for me.
"Some of our most important writers have remarked upon the resemblance between madmen and fairies. Both are well known for talking without sense or connexion... But there are other similarities.
Chaston...gives the example of a lunatic in Bristol who each morning told his family of his intention to take his walk in company with one of the dining chairs. The man was quite devoted to this article of furniture and considerd it one of his closest friends...He'd even hold conversations with it in which they discussed the walk they would take and the likelihood of meeting other tables and chairs.
Cleary the man was mad, but Chaston says that fairies would not consider this behavoir as ridiculous as we do. Fairies do not make a strong distinction between the animate and the inanimate... Perhaps this explains the extraordinary simpathy for madness which fairies exhibit."
-From Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrel by Susanna Clark.
Third - This is possibly the best thing ever.
Fourth - uh - about me?

Joe Vor-Tech is a producer, DJ and avid Scientologist living out of basements that belong to various sets of people's parents that occasionally he knows.
He's known for spinning stuff you've probably heard before with other stuff you've hopefully heard before but never thought the two things you've heard before could ever be played together... but Joe... he plays them together. Joe is also hot.
Joe has DJed from New York to Canada (in general) to Chicago to Miami to Milwaukee and even Minneapolis. He was a resident DJ for the flagship Diesel store in Union Square NYC, is FCUK's go-to DJ in Chicago and has played with and for Fischerspooner, Drop Bass Network, Larry Tee, Paul Okenfold, Yellow Note, The Sounds (DJ Set), Starscream (of slipnot), Paul Johnson, DatA, Pacerock & Passions along with other people who you will one day love and adore.
Joe Vor-Tech is the front man for the power-something band The (Das) Image Front - you might remember the song "Do Sex, Have Drugs" if you don't go listen to it, then remember it - once you've done this you will remember that song. Well he did that song with Mr. Automatic. Joe has also done remixes for Houston Bernard, Yellow Note & the Synthetic Men. You can check them out at Jesus Christ Recreational Vehicle, which is a name his friend Adam came up with one day. Joe presently holds a residency at Delilah's the 2nd Wednesday of every month, it is there Joe draws up his plans for dominion. Along with that Joe is the... guy... who decides everything - if you don't understand, don't worry, it's okay.
Joe practices the secret ancient art of Thamagury, enjoys gardening and will soon take up Bonsai tree pruning with his life mates who request anonymity because they're Isreali. No one knows why Joe talks to himself or what he does on Sundays in his bathrobe. Joe Vor-Tech is also an anagram for "Born of the 4th of July." Amen.
