The Sycophant
The Sycophant The soul is filled throughout with discord and dissonance, and so its first need is poetic madness.

   The Sycophant's Blurbs
About me:

"The courage of the poet is to keep ajar the door that leads into madness."

-- Christopher Morley

Man for all seasons, jack of all trades, poet, jester, philosopher, geek, hedonist.

Silly, sultry, sappy, sensual.

Wondrous, wild, wise, whimsical.

Intensity is my byword, passion my philosophy. I quote Shakespeare, KMFDM, Emily Dickinson, Einstein, and Dave Mustaine. I like to compose music, which I do so using a workstation consisting of furniture I customized, a computer for which I handpicked the components, various and sundry bits of outboard equipment, and a multitude of cables.

I sing like a bird. Out for karaoke, my leg twitches involuntarily during an Elvis or Stray Cats number. I'm not so full of myself that I won't do a Fiona Apple or Carly Simon tune. Sometimes I overload the house sound system .. Again"during White Wedding.

My hairstyle changes like the wind. I read, write, rinse, repeat. I often have trouble maintaining proper decorum. I own a nice black suit and Italian silk suspenders as well as a spiked collar and latex pants. I 'm into home decorating. I'd like to travel the world with good friends, a camera, and not much else.

Technology excites me. I can take apart a computer (and put it back together again), wire a home theatre, and install a home network. I understand color wheels. I know that black, grey, and white aren't colors. I've done independent studies in relativistic physics involving nasty equations. I laugh so hard at live standup that I wonder if I'm going to hurt myself.

I like films with subtitles. Sometimes I tear up at the sad parts. I have a virtual library of fantasy and sci-fi novels, and a number of other books besides.

I talk about my feelings. I think sex is an art. Love is my default emotion.

MySpace Pet Peeves:

  • Angst & eyeliner cocktails chased with cliche phantasmagoria.
  • Popular nonconformity.
  • A band's perceived inalienable right to send anyone a friend request, regardless of taste, style, or originality.
  • Auditory assault upon entrance to a MySpace.
  • Lack of aesthetic sense and style approaching critical mass in a MySpace. (id est I can't read your freakin' page.)
  • more to come...

Quiz Silliness:

harold

Which Random Cult Movie Character are you?

I am Harold, from "Harold and Maude." I'm a sensitive, but... weird... soul.


Which Animal Spirit Totem Are You?

Your soul is bound to the Seventh Totem, Pandora: The Spider.

spider

Pandora appears as an amethyst spider. She embodies creativity, imagination, craft, and virtuosity. She is associated with the color amethyst, the season of autumn, and the element of wind. Her downfall is daydreaming.

You are most compatible with Tortoises and Cockroaches. [Ooh -- I've got great options!]

Who I'd like to meet:
Intelligent, articulate, creative folks who are laid back and grewvy.

I was just thinking -- haven't read any Sycophant poems of late, then realized I wouldn't get an auto-update, since you're posting elsewhere. So was glad for the bulletin which alerted me to all your latest. The newest is especially choice. Will conjure some pithy comment soon. Hope all is going well, Bri!! :)
