I am perplexing, confounding, and beguiling.

My Self-Summary

UPDATE: I have just now, this second, finished the last cigarette I will ever smoke. Now, to find something to occupy my time....
I am a person, even if only in theory. I am about to describe an individual who is profoundly inconstant. That is a person who frequently shifts in mindset and even personality. I find staying the same equates with stagnancy which leads to lethargy and complacency, ere go I avoid it at all costs. However I wouldn't say that I love change either. I just don't like staying the same. If that makes sense. Of course all this is theoretical. After all someone observing me might say something different. As everyone knows, sometimes it's easier to see other people's idiosyncrasies than your own. That is to say, through my eyes I am one way, through the eyes of others I am different. I wonder which bears the most significance. I wonder which I am. Don't we all.
I have been told I am a pretty funny person. I have an odd way of seeing life and I notice subtleties that a lot of people don't see, or refuse to see. However I am fairly analytical and I can be a tad critical. I can also be cynical and even a tad on the morbid and pessimistic side. But I tend to make up for that with a fairly good nature and pleasant demeanor.
I will admit that I am very creative. I love to write. I love to read and listen to music. I like Anime but I am not a geek about it. I view it more as moving art. Some of the animations are quite beautiful. I think the Japanese have a unique view of color and shape and of the world in general which leads them to create wonderful art.
Well that's all I can say right now. If you have any questions then please feel free to ask me!

What I’m doing with my life

Well I'm living in Midway City, which is in Orange county. I am a security guard. I write. I watch weird movies. I exist in a state of relative calm. Therefore, naturally, I am not too happy with things currently. I shall have to drastically alter my life in some way or I will explode. Perhaps I will start going to school again after all. It would give me something to do. Ultimately, you must understand, it doesn't matter to me. Weather I'm in school, or working full time, or on vacation or just sitting around wasting time it will inevitably yield the same results in the very end. Weather you are a millionaire, a day laborer or even a senator, we all die naked, penniless and laid bare, just as we were upon our birth. Some say this is depressing or even a guise for being lazy. I disagree. It is comforting if viewed in the right light. The only question that bares any significance is weather or not ones quality of life measures up to ones desires. Right now, mine doesn't, but I'm in the process of changing that.

I’m really good at

I like to believe that I am a fairly intelligent and talented writer. However that is not for me to decide. The reader is inevitably the judge of that. I can say that I enjoy doing it. I write poetry (which is far from this more formal writing style) plays and short stories. I am also a competent chef. I’m not an accomplished chef. I don’t cook professionally. It’s a hobby. I also play the guitar (however I can not and do not say that I am any good.) I used to play piano and saxophone. I’m sure if I had the time I could get my skills back up to par with practice. I make electro music, it's going nowhwere though. Just fun to do. I can say (through means of observation) that I am good at making people laugh. As I’ve said before, I’m not so formal and drab in person. I am shy at first though, but that wears off with a little time.

The first things people usually notice about me

Let me see. The first thing people usually notice about me is that I don’t talk much. This is because I’m shy and not very good at meeting people. I don’t talk very much because I take care in what I say. When you are talking to me I am listening and digesting what you are saying. I am also calculating and organizing my thoughts so that when I speak them they are precise and true to what I mean to say. I don’t mean that I’m simply waiting to speak, I am processing. I take great interest in what others say to me. Obviously if they find it in them to speak to me in the first place then whatever they say is important.

My favorite books, movies, music, and food

You'll find that this section changes often.
Currently though the list is as follows:

Music: I like a pretty eclectic assortment of styles. I like chamber music, opera and other classical but I also like metal, new wave, electronica, indie rock and some hip-hop. Some of my favorite artists are: Gary Numan, Velvet Acid Christ, The Shiny Toy Guns, Angelspit, The Birthday Party, Love and Rockets, Bauhaus, Joy Division, The Streets, Echo and The Bunnymen, The Misfits, Tom Waits, Dimmu Borgir, Behemoth, Christian Death, Fields of the Nephilim, Red Lorri Yellow Lorri, The Jesus and Marry Chain, The Mission UK, The Cult, Sisters Of Mercy and many many more.
Books: Well I'm in the process of reading My Ishmael. I've finished reading a book on Runes and a book on nocturnal witchcraft. Oh, I'm also reading a book on Ogam wisdom sticks. I am into paganism in a big way. I ve also read all but (I think-) one of the Anne Rice Library. I read a lot of Poppy Z. Brite and Marcel Proust. I love Shakespeare (but my memory is horrible so I can't do quotes or anything.)Dante, Homer, Marcus Aurelius (again can't spell it.)Shelley, Stoker. I absolutely adore H.P. Lovecraft. I've also read a little (a lot less than I'd like to) Hunter S. Thompson. I've read some Kerouac, however I don't believe I'm all that into beat philosophy/poetry.
I also read a lot of conspiracy type books on things like Atlantis, Anannuki, etc. I find them fun and interesting. I don't really believe many of them though. But it's fun to think about. I also read Chuck Klosterman, Phillip K Dick, Neil Gaiman, William Gibson, Poe, Chaucer, Frost etc..
"I've read books like Eternal Essence of Being and Love In The Time of Cholera. And I understood them...at least think I did. They're about chicks right? Just kidding" Rob "High Fidelity".
Movies: I just watched an exceptional film called Wristcutters. One of the best indie films I've watched since Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind. Other films I'm into are: SLC Punk, 30 Days Of Night, all of the "...Of The Living Dead" movies, Shakespeare In Love (you're still judging me!), Pi, Requiem For A Dream, stuff like that.

Food: I love good food. I don't care what's in it as long as it tastes good. I love to cook as well as eat. My favorites are: Italian (I'm picky though), Thai and BBQ. I also enjoy vegan food but am myself not vegan or even vegetarian. I ate some of that raw vegan food once, it was delicious but it ripped my stomach a new one.

The six things I could never do without

Music, People (if I injure myself [which happens way more frequently than I'd like] I'd need a doctor, etc.) Literature, Friends, Music and good food.

I spend a lot of time thinking about

Life as it should be. I see a lot of problems in the world today. I wish I could do more to change things. Unfortunately I don't see a whole lot of options. This is why I hardly ever go to protests or marches. I just don't ever see them do a whole lot of good. They have in the past, that's a given. But I'm afraid things have developed to such a state that they aren't going to change peaceably. I see a revolt coming. I really think it hangs on what Mr. Obama does with his time. Already he's trying to raise taxes and has doubled the deficit. When will politicians realize that if there's no money in the country then people won't be able to sustain tax raises. The Tea Parties that have happened recently have shown that people are not WILLING to. It's only a matter of time before "not willing to" turns into "won't". By this I mean someone cannot be willing to do something, however if they are forced to, there will is irrelevant. If someone decides he/she simply won't do it, then there's not a whole lot that can be done, especially if "he/she" is a "they".
That's not all that I think about though. I also think about the existence of the soul, religion (mostly how corrupt it is), and food.

On a typical Friday night I am

Depends. I like to change things up. I can tell you this, you'll never catch me at a club. Maybe a dive bar, but I detest the meat markets. They are too crowded, too pretentious, too obnoxious. I'll go to concerts, that's for sure. But concerts are different. The crowd is there for the same reason you are. To enjoy the show. The sense of fellowship there is awesome. If I'm not at a show or dive bar, I like to check out a flick, hang with friends, search out old graveyards and break into them and look at the headstones (with utmost respect, mind you. I hate people who go there to party or vandalize. That's just tacky.).

The most private thing I’m willing to admit here

Even though I've been off of it for years, I still wake up and want Heroin. But No way in hell will I do it again. Withdrawals suck! It's one of the most excruciating things I've ever been through...next to that other thing. If you know me long enough, you'll find out what that is.

You should message me if

You want to. You're bored. You have questions. You require internet based human interaction. But mostly if you want to.
