About me:

"Control the the things you can control, maggot! Let everything else take a flying fuck at you, and if you must go down, go down with your guns blazing!" (Stephen King, THE DARK TOWER)

I am terrible with returning phone calls. This must be known. It is nothing personal, it's just a bad, bad habit of mine that I have a hard time doing anything about.

I am human,and I do screw up from time to time. And when I do, I am contrite. However, I will only apologize ONCE.

Don't try and convince me that your political views are the right ones if you make blanket judgments about the opposite side; same goes for religious views.

I will probably only consider your views valid if I know that you understand both sides of an argument.

I love to argue, and I will do it often.

As I approach my mid-30's, I find my ability to ignore bullshit weakening.

I am not an egotist, nor an elitist. I know I am often wrong. But that does not mean I am not vehement about the things I know I am right about.

I am a die-hard Horror Culture Activist.

I am a Political Atheist; I distrust Republicans as much as I do Democrats.

I disdain all things Pragmatic.

I am a proud and INTENSE defender of First Amendment/Freedom of Speech Rights (and will die before they keep me from sa***********)

I am a writer of dark, spooky things that hide under the bed (or in the head.)

I am a long-winded satirist, with a kind heart (and I keep it in a jar on my desk.)

I am also known as DjZombi and I spin Mp3s so the kids can rock out and dance.

I am honest in my pretensions, and I lie about the rest (except when I'm telling the truth, which is often.)

I belong to two cats, and they treat me well (except when they are hungry, then they are spiteful and loud.)

I also like parenthesis.

Who I'd like to meet:
Tom Servo, Oscar Wilde, Diogenes of Sinope, Pam Grier, Zhang Ziyi, Charles Bronson, Franco Nero, Robin cook, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Tod Browning, Fatlip, Wilford Brimley, Parker Posey, and THEM!
