My Bio
I LOVE art, and do draw in my spare time, however, due to the intimidation factor, I might not upload anything any time soon. You beautiful people put me to shame!
I'm a much better writer than I am an artist, so once I have the spare time, I may upload (but again, I'm slightly intimidated).
I am also a short, profane, audiophile, cinephile, comic-book geek, and foodie.
So, give me a step-ladder, Parental Advisory sticker, unlimited funds for iTunes, a collection of the best underground cinema, everything Frank Miller, Garth Ennis, and Grant Morrison ever wrote, some really good sushi, and get the hell out of my way.
Favourite Visual Artist
Jim Lee, Michael Turner, J. Scott Campbell, Greg Horn... hmm I'm sensing a pattern. Ralph Bakshi, Gustave Dore, Dali. I know it says "favorite," as in "one," but that's like picking your favorite cookie out of the entire box you just ate.
Favourite Movies
Too long of a list. Robert De Niro's in a lot of them. So, here goes: Taxi Driver, The Deer Hunter, Midnight Run, Goodfellas, Heat, Casino. As for non DeNiro cinema: Predator, The Terminator & T2, Tropic Thunder, Zoolander, anything by Mel Brooks
Favourite TV Shows
Game of Thrones, True Blood, Dexter (before it got lame), The Bridge, The Killing, American Horror Story, Justified, Being Human-UK
Favourite Bands / Musical Artists
Just a taste of what I listen to: A Tribe Called Quest, Android Lust, Bauhaus, Beck, Blood Orange, Cake, The Clash, The Cure, The Damned, David Bowie, Deftones, Echo and the Bunnymen, Frank Zappa, Gang of Four, James Brown, Joy Division, Led Zeppelin
Favourite Books
Farenheit 451, Animal Farm, anything by Chuck Palahniuk, Slaughterhouse Five, George Carlin's comedy books
Favourite Writers
Frank Miller, Ray Bradbury, Chuck Palahniuk, Grant Morrison, Garth Ennis
Favourite Games
Not a gamer. Haven't gamed hardcore since I was 12. Does dominoes count? Cuz I can kick your ass at dominoes.
Favourite Gaming Platform
See previous answer. Yet, in my gaming youth, I was addicted to Crash Bandicoot 2 and Tekken 2.
Tools of the Trade
BIC mechanical pencils 0.7 mm lead. I can't seem to draw with any other pencil. Ballpoint pens, etc. Since I write,it's just a simple Toshiba laptop Windows 7.
Other Interests
Observing people in their natural habitat. Sarcasm. Listening to music. Dancing. And eating!
Anxiety, Doom, and Shoes

*note: The Kuato was hesitant in posting this given what's going on around the world. People have it much harder than I, but I needed some kind of catharthsis.* This anxiety is whipping my ass, y'all. Where the hell it came from I don't know. It just seemed like it showed up all of a sudden. And long before the pandemic hit. I was antsy and nervous way before social distancing and mask wearing had us deep in its clutches. It started small. Little mistakes at work and usually I would let it slide. But then it started to get to me. Long, escalating scenarios would twist its way through my mind. What if this tiny mistake led to this and then that and then somebody's pet died because of my small oversight? And I got fired for it? It was a domino effect occurring in the deep recesses of my subconscious. Since I work at a vet's office, our type of business has exploded since the pandemic, and now my thoughts escalate from I had to tell that customer "no" because we were overbooked for

Dude, You're Gettin' Old... Vol. 6
3 min read
Another birthday has ended. I ignored it for most of the day. My heart wasn't into doing one of these this year, but like most franchises, why not another useless sequel? Why not help my depression with something depressing? Ha ha... -Whenever I create an account for a new client at work, I have to enter their birthdate. I am now older than 50% of them. Sometimes by 10 years or more. -Most of the kids I graduated with are parents now. -Some of those kids I graduated with probably have a failed marriage under their belts already. -My cousin has 6 kids. Her oldest is old enough to vote and drive. Her second oldest is old enough to drive. -People born in 1990 are 30 now. WTF? -Tremors, Total Recall, and Kindergarten Cop are all 30. -The first Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie is 30. You read that right. -Predator 2 is 30. That film is highly underrated. I said it. Fight me. -Toy Story is 25 FUCKING YEARS OLD. -Gladiator, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon and X-Men are 20 years old

It's new, but it's broken???

Okay, I thought this chat feature was really cool when I first started using it, but can I ask why it never works now? It's broken more often than not and it's getting on my damn nerves. Fix it. That'd be great.
