Because if I tell you, you'll tell your friends, your friends are callin' me on the horn all the time, I gotta show up at shopping centers for openings and sign autographs and shit like that and it makes my life a *hell*. Okay? A living hell. -Beetlejuice

Tattooing, piercing, branding, scarification, modification of all sorts, psychology, metamem-psychology, abstract thinking and abstract art, surrealism, intellectualism and intellectuals. MUSIC and making music.
Art, literature, a deeper meaning- picking things apart, learning, creating.
Music
I listen to mostly metal music, although my tastes vary to the ecclectic.
I listen to everybody and everything from hardcore agressive bands like,
American Head Charge, Slipknot, MuDvAyNe to the more groovy skate-core, as I call it, Deftones, Limp Bizkit, KoRn to hardcore gangsta rap, Ice Cube, Dr. Dre, NWA, Cypress Hill, to hip hop like Atmosphere, Brother ALi, Beastie Boys, Public Enemy to more wacky, but tasty, alt. music like Cake and Soul Coughing to older stuff like the Beatles, Rolling Stones, Doors, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Eric Clapton, Tom Petty.... I'm pretty well rounded, and can respect all kinds of music and draw a little something from everything.

Movies
Those movies that really screw with your head:
The Island, Silence of the Lambs series, Requium for a Dream, American Beauty, Pi, Rules of Attraction, American Psycho, ect. (There are tons and I'll add later.)
Also, movies with rockstars, illicit narcotic consumption, ritualistic slaughter and horror/gore: The Doors, Tommy, Fear & Loathing, Cheech&Chong flicks, Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Devil's Rejects, ect.
...And lastly, the plethora of autopsy, criminalogy, psychology, and oddball stuff that has helped shaped/warp me:
Faces of Death, Traces of Death, interviews with various serial killers;(Gein, Manson,Berkowitz,Gacy)
Television

There's enough fiction in this world as it is....
I am, however, a fan of periodicals like:

Books about things that are interesting to me:
Psychiatry, psychology, art, music, ect.
"Being a producer is a job for someone who is comfortable being completely out of the spotlight, but directly in the line of fire. I always used to remind myself that if the show was brilliant, it was all credit to the talent; but if it was a disaster, it was all my fault.”

About me:
"Theater is a universal and boundless combining of art and technology.
On the artistic side, theater uses all forms of art, excluding none.
Likewise, theater freely uses all known technologies, even serving as the cutting edge for some.
It's not surprising then, that stage hand skills include all trades and literally span skill levels from those required to do simple tasks to rocket science.
Stage hands are diverse and flexible enough that the same person may work both ends of the skill spectrum on the same day.
With the capabilities that we have within our ranks, the importance of projecting a professional image is self evident."
Talk to me and find out what I'm like for yourself-
I'm an open book.... I'm just an encyclopedia, and you may have to do some searching to find the answers.
I'm a Tour Manager, band tech and stagehand, currently looking for touring opportunities.
I have had the pleasure of working with some big name artists, on touring festivals, in night clubs, large and small, and on stadium tours.
Whether it be personally assisting the artists and management, wardrobe, to rigging and teching, I'm pretty versatile with plenty of experience in various forms of tour production and management.
Ah. Well... I attended Julliard... I'm a graduate of the Harvard business school. I travel quite extensively. I lived through the Black Plague and had a pretty good time during that.
I've seen the EXORCIST ABOUT A HUNDRED AND SIXTY-SEVEN TIMES, AND IT KEEPS GETTING FUNNIER EVERY SINGLE TIME I SEE IT... NOT TO MENTION THE FACT THAT YOU'RE TALKING TO A DEAD GUY... NOW WHAT DO YOU THINK? You think I'm qualified?
