from time to time i find myself seeking the long end of oblivion. other than that... hmmm...... lets see, what do i like in those flashes of lucidity....
visual kei. cute things that hide evil potential. checking google to see if im famous yet. weird strange and unusual things interest me. flashy glamorous things and people. i love androgyny. doo-be-doo-be-doo....what else....
japan.
i. love. japan. take that back to the jomon period.
i like things and people that inspire me to do strange and wonderful things. i want to be different. i want to be unique. i know i know, ive heard the joke. i want to be different, just like everyone else. but its still a noble goal.

Music
The haunting sounds of frustration due to oppressive regret and/or guilt.
Movies
Edward Scissorhands is the movie that made me realize that film could be an art. Although its my favorite with Casablanca following close behind, i truly believe that Godfather was probably the best movie ever made. Its timeless and flawless, even though i've rarely met a woman who doesn't fall asleep before the finish. I love the way the cinema in Japan is going, putting out movies that would make Hollywood cringe with budgets that would make most avant garde filmakers blush. Movies like Battle Royale, Versus, Suicide Club and Ichi the Killer. Tekkonkinkrito is an amazing visual buffet. Watch it. Plus anything with Johnny Depp or Bill Murray in, and anything that Tim Burton, Mel Gibson(sorry, i know hes on everyones shit list but hes done so many things that i hold dear. MAD MAX FOOL), or Jean-Pierre Jeunet(City of Lost Children, Amelie)directed. Theres so many i left out. Mi Via en Rose (not the new one that one the academy award, but the one about the boy who thought he should have been born a girl) is also a great one. Okay seriously im done. (for now) oh plus i love the charm that Tommy Yueng exudes in his films. oh yeah. almost forgot. I LOVE ZOMBIES! George Ramero is a genius, although Tom Savini was a complete dick when i met him at a con. Geez cant a guy gush? he probably had a thing going on though.
Television
Cartoons. Dear God in heaven i love cartoons. Adult Swims the bomb, all though i dont like Tom Goes to the Mayor or that goddamndable Tim and Eric Great Job. BAD JOB! since i got back from japan i've found myself watching more anime. Monk is charming. also burn notice. Most of the rest of television is a brain rot. i @#$%@! DESPISE with every fiber of my being any and all reality shows.
i really love video games. im addicted to destroy all humans. and metal gear solid is the best game(s) ever. and god of war.
Books
The Dark Tower series, The Great Gatsby, Crime and Punishment, The Stranger, Lamb (or the gospel according to Biff Jesus' childhood friend), actually theres so many i want to put here. Pretty much anything by Chuck Palahniuk (except maybe for Haunted, which was a inspired and genuis peace of work, but it physically made me ill) and most especially Jack Kerouac. Sidhartha's pretty good too. The bible. Anything by Edgar Allen Poe or h.p. lovecraft.
Heroes
Batman. Tim Burton. The Great Gatsby. Siddhartha. And mostly Jesus. Alphonso Mucha and Akihito Yoshitomi are also pretty swell. Also Jack Kerouac.
This is the 11th chorus from his pome Desolation Blues-
11th Chorus
And if you don't like the tone
of my poems
You can go jump in the lake.
I have been empowered
to lay my hand
On your shoulder
and remind you
That you are utterly free,
Free as empty space.
You dont have to be famous,
dont have to be perfect,
Dont have to work,
dont have to marry,
Dont have to carry burdens,
dont have to gnaw & kneel,
the taste
of rain-
Why kneel?
Dont even have to sit,
Gozomeen,
Like an endless rock camp
go ahead & blow,
Explode & go,
I wont say nothin,
neither this rock,
And my outhouse doesnt care,
And I got no body

About me:
"I drank a bottle of wine for company. It was Chateau Margaux. It was pleasant to be drinking slowly and to be tasting the wine and to be drinking alone. A bottle of wine was good company."
Ernest Hemingway, The Sun Also Rises
im an artist. blah. whatever that means. i do art because i have to. sometimes its fun, sometimes it tries to kill me. but isnt that the basis of any good relationship? my art falls somewhere between "lowbrow" and "superflat". i personally like to call it "bubblegum death"(c).
Also zombies, dead baby jokes, and cartoons. They, like so many random encounters in my life, are part of my very being. for better or worse. i love sugary cereals and lunch boxes with cartoon characters on them. i want see the north pole before santas house goes the way of al gore's computerized polar bears.
Whatever.
also, im a huge fan of everything that encompasses my love, my life, and nihon.

I will most certainly let Him know to get in touch. And, yeah, it's pretty fricken rad that He finally got smart and figured out He was in Love with me. I miss you! Lemme know if your ever around again!
Things are as they are. And WTF? It's gotta be early there? Why are you on, crazy?! I read your blogs. Very insightful . I hope you're getting plenty of sleep...poor thing.
