About

I'm a nerd, a satirist, and an introvert. I'm rarely seen without a book somewhere on my person. Despite being a devout technophile, I disabled internet, GPS and other such nonsense from my phone. I tend to relate things back in some way to math, as I believe everything boils down to math. I program various things, and am currently working on about 12 projects, including a video game and a formula for turning any image into ASCII art, which then will be applied frame-by-frame to film, similar to rotoscoping, and a CYOA/Visual Novel thing.

As far as writing, as previously stated, I work in satire, which doesn't actually say much as satire can be anything, but for me it refers to a distorted and comedic vision of reality. Everything I write has some sort of humor, although many people may not be able to realize it, as it tends to be rather ultraviolet in it's nature, in that it can only be seen under a certain light or mindset. The target of my satire is anything and everything, although I tend to make fun of myself more often that not.

My stories also tend to star fundamentally unlikeable, if sympathetic main characters. I do this because I like characters like that. I find it also easy and fun to write this type of person, and it's one not seen very frequently.

Interests
Comics, B movies, video games, and reading, programming, building/repairing tech. Also eating my homemade chicken parm with my bare hands (yeah, I cook (the sauce is made from scratch as well as the chicken)). Also Parenthesis. I am interested in parenthesis.

Favorite Books
Past Master, a mass market sci-fi novel from the late 60's is probably my favorite. It's brilliant. Also, Cryptonomicon is great. (if you couldn't tell, I dig sci-fi), and also Number9Dream is a great coming of age story (also kind of Sci-Fi at parts). Plus Kavalier and Clay, . If you count comics, Chew is A+ as far as comics, Matt Fraction's Hawkeye, J.H. William's Batwoman, and Robert Kirkman (of walking dead fame)'s Invincible (which is better than the Walking Dead on so many levels (also, never mention that fucking TV series in my presence, it wrecked talking about the comic for me (which is still good, but not as good as invincible (but is still better than the tv series by a mile))) are my favorite ongoing. If you count ended/miniseries, Transmetropolitan, Irredeemable, The Boys, the Goon, League of Extraordinary Gentlemen: Century (volume 3 of LoEG, not original or Black Dossier (Alan Moore has even said that's his best work (century that is))), New X-Men (when written by Craig Kyle and Christopher Yost).

Favorite Authors
R.A. Lafferty, a sci-fi writer from the late 60's and 70's who never got the respect he deserves, and Harvey Pekar are probably my two favorite writers; also Neil Stevenson is another great Sci-Fi writer, Michael Chabon, Pynchon, Johnathan Lethem, David Foster Wallace and David Mitchell are a few others who's work is incredible. If I include comic writers, Mark Waid, J.H. Williams (also a great artist) Matt Fraction, Robert Kirkman, Ron Marz, Tim Seeley, and Paul Dini (of Batman TAS, and Arkham City/Asylum (video game) writing fame) Warren Ellis, Chris Clairemont, John Layman, Bill Willingham, naturally Alan Moore, Scott McCloud, Judd Winick, Robert Venditti, Matt Kindit and about a million others.

Favorite Movies
Unforgiven is my favorite, but the others in my top 5 are Roshamon, American Splendor, Snowpiercer and Blazing Saddles. That being said, I'm kind of a cinophile, so I like a lot of movies such as Time Bandits, AlphaVille, and Eating Raoul are also some of my favorites, I love the criterion's Janus Films collection, they never fail to deliver great movies. Also, Mel Brooks is an incredible writer/director. Also, Anything Joss Whedon does instantly gains my approval. Tarantino is good too obviously. Mystery Men is very underrated but great. The Dark Knight series is probably the best batman live action representation, (but neither Christian Bale nor Heath Ledger hold a candle to Kevin Conroy and Mark Hamill respectively (Heath Ledger even said he based his portrayal on Mark Hamill's)). Also, Pacific Rim, I fucking love Pacific Rim, and horror movies. Horror movies are awesome.

Favorite TV Shows
A lot of canceled shows, like Firefly, Buffy, Dollhouse (Yeah, I like Joss Whedon), Tales from the Crypt, Batman the Animated Series, Animaniacs, Twin Peaks. AS far as current, Game of Thrones, and Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D, Utopia, It's Always Sunny, Adventure Time and that's probably it. I'm not much for TV these days.

Favorite Music
Where to begin? From Jambands to Classical I listen to so much. My collection of music is nearly 300 GB (maybe more by now). My favorite band is Kaizers Orchestra, but I really like Modest Mouse, Dismemberment Plan, They Might Be Giants, Pixies, Phish, Phil Lesh & Friends/ Grateful Dead, Vladimir Ashkenazi, Glenn Gould, Brooklyn Ryder, The Men, moe. Mogwai, Mr. Dream, The So So Glos, Yo La Tengo, New Pornographers, Opeth, Punch Brothers, Bela Fleck, Edgar Meyer, My Morning Jacket, String Cheese Incident, Gov't Mule, Titus Andronicus, Foo Fighters, Tom Waits, Widespread Panic, Elvis Costello, The Clash, Blur, Battles, Andrew Bird, The Allman Brothers, Thelonius Monk, Miles Davis, MMW, John Coltrane among others.. As far as composers, I dig Mozart, Philip Glass, Beethoven, Tchaikovsky among others. A

Side Note: I fucking hate Itunes (goddamn AAC capping out at maybe 220 Kbps if you're lucky) CDDR and Flac, but Alac and are the only way to go (Capping at over 1200 Kbps) when it comes to digital recordings. Analog though such as record players are great. Stay the hell away from magnetic recordings, they deteriorate insanely fast. In other words: Go Lossless, not lossy. Yeah, I pay attention to the Kbps on a recording. Heard too much real garbage to not.
