Sorry I havent been on that much lately, I have been extremely busy with my new found love of "Repo! The Genetic Opera". I heard about the movie last year during the time when it was in post-production, from my roommate, but I didnt get that involved back then. 
Honestly I wished I had, Repo is an amazing movie, and the cast, crew, and fans are absolutely wonderful. Its like an extended family almost. Back in Nov of last year, director, Darren Lynn Bousman, of the "Saw" movies, was interviewed here on SG, and he spoke about all things Repo! how it is truly a labor of love. For himself and everyone involved in its production and even since it truly is a labor of love.
Well I've gotten involved with a Repo! shadow cast out of Ft. Lauderdale, FL, called Midnight Cinema. The group has been around for over 6 years, doing shadow casts of the cult classic "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." I have actually been friends with members of the group for quite some time, so I started going back to the shows again. They had added Repo! to their shadow cast line up as a "Science Fiction Double Feature." Well I already had the movie on DVD and watched it a few times already, but seeing it done with a shadow cast, it was truly a great experience. From the first time I witnessed them perform it, I knew I had to be apart of the cast in someway, but with my foot the way it is I wasnt going to start killing myself with pain right off the bat. So I started making props for the cast. It started out with a couple of "Zydrate guns."
This one was made for our "Amber Sweet" who is played by the co-director of Midnight Cinema's Repo! cast.
Then after one night, the guy who played "Grave-Robber" in the shadow cast said that he couldnt do it anymore because his work schedule was changing. So I spoke up to the director and co-director of Midnight Cinema's Repo! cast and asked if I could play "Grave-Robber." So I went around and found the clothes and other things to make my costume as screen accurate as possible, then I auditioned at their next rehearsal. I was a hit and I have been their "Grave-Robber" ever since.
"Grave-Robber" from the movie, played by Terrance Zdunich, who is also the co-creator of Repo!
Me playing "Grave-Robber"
Just last weekend, my cast and I took a road trip to see another casts debut performance, in Tampa, FL. The other shadow cast was also able to bring down Terrance Zdunich (who played "Grave-Robber" in the film and co-created Repo!), Darren Smith (who played the "Band Leader" and co-creator of Repo!), and also J. LaRose (who played "Pavi" in the 10 minute short film that was used to sell the movie to Lion's Gate Films and played the reporter in Repo!). It was an absolutely great experience meeting the three of them.
A few of our cast that could make it to Tampa with Darren Smith and J. LaRose.
Again our cast with Terrance Zdunich.
Plus later this year our cast has been invited to perform "Repo! The Genetic Opera" at Spooky Empire's Ultimate Horror Weekend, in Orlando, FL, October 9-11. Now our performance will be, as far as we've heard, sometime on opening night. The cast and I are hugely excited about doing it, because Bill Moseley, the actor who played Luigi Largo in Repo!, as well as acting in "House of 1000 Corpses" and "The Devil's Rejects", will be in attendance. We all want to meet him as well.
So rehearsals continue as does our monthly shows, so I am a very busy person lately.

Well the Valentine's themed fetish party was a blast. Although I ended up getting there three hours late b/c my ride drives so slow. I ran into many friends that I havent seen in a long time. The toy I brought was a hit. So a reminder to myself I definitely need to bring it every month. LOL
The following is a *true* story. It amused the hell out of me while it was happening. I hope it isn't one of those "had to be there" things.
On my way home from an MRI I had to get, I stopped at Taco Bell for a quick bite to eat. In my billfold is a $50 bill and a $2 bill. That is all of the cash I have on my person. I figure that with a $2 bill, I can get something to eat and not have to worry about people getting pissed at me.
ME: "Hi, I'd like one seven layer burrito please, to go."
IT: "Is that it?"
ME: "Yep."
IT: "That'll be $1.04, eat here?"
ME: "No, it's *to* *go*." [I hate effort duplication.]
At his point I open my billfold and hand him the $2 bill. He looks at it kind of funny and
IT: "Uh, hang on a sec, I'll be right back."
He goes to talk to his manager, who is still within earshot. The following conversation occurs between the two of them.
IT: "Hey, you ever see a $2 bill?"
MG: "No. A what?"
IT: "A $2 bill. This guy just gave it to me."
MG: "Ask for something else, THERE'S NO SUCH THING AS A $2 BILL."
IT: "Yeah, thought so."
He comes back to me and says
IT: "We don't take these. Do you have anything else?"
ME: "Just this fifty. You don't take $2 bills? Why?"
IT: "I don't know."
ME: "See here where it says legal tender?"
IT: "Yeah."
ME: "So, shouldn't you take it?"
IT: "Well, hang on a sec."
He goes back to his manager who is watching me like I'm going to shoplift, and
IT: "He says I have to take it."
MG: "Doesn't he have anything else?"
IT: "Yeah, a fifty. I'll get it and you can open the safe and get change."
MG: "I'M NOT OPENING THE SAFE WITH HIM IN HERE." [my emphasis]
IT: "What should I do?"
MG: "Tell him to come back later when he has REAL money."
IT: "I can't tell him that, you tell him."
MG: "Just tell him."
IT: "No way, this is weird, I'm going in back."
The manager approaches me and says
MG: "Sorry, we don't take big bills this time of night." [it was 8pm
and this particular Taco Bell is in a well lighted indoor mall
with 100 other stores.]
ME: "Well, here's a two."
MG: "We don't take *those* either."
ME: "Why the hell not?"
MG: "I think you *know* why."
ME: "No really, tell me, why?"
MG: "Please leave before I call mall security."
ME: "Excuse me?"
MG: "Please leave before I call mall security."
ME: "What the hell for?"
MG: "Please, sir."
ME: "Uh, go ahead, call them."
MG: "Would you please just leave?"
ME: "No."
MG: "Fine, have it your way then."
ME: "No, that's Burger King, isn't it?"
At this point he BACKS away from me and calls mall security on the phone around the corner. I have two people STARING at me from the dining area, and I begin laughing out loud, just for effect. A few minutes later this 45 year oldish guy comes in and says [at the other end of counter, in a whisper]
SG: "Yeah, Mike, what's up?"
MG: "This guy is trying to give me some [pause] funny money."
SG: "Really? What?"
MG: "Get this, a *two* dollar bill."
SG: "Why would a guy fake a $2 bill?" [incredulous]
MG: "I don't know? He's kinda weird. Says the only other thing he has is a
fifty."
SG: "So, the fifty's fake?"
MG: "NO, the $2 is."
SG: "Why would he fake a $2 bill?"
MG: "I don't know. Can you talk to him, and get him out of here?"
SG: "Yeah..."
Security guard walks over to me and says
SG: "Mike here tells me you have some fake bills you're trying to use."
ME: "Uh, no."
SG: "Lemme see 'em."
ME: "Why?"
SG: "Do you want me to get the cops in here?"
At this point I was ready to say, "SURE, PLEASE," but I wanted to eat, so I said
ME: "I'm just trying to buy a burrito and pay for it with this $2 bill."
I put the bill up near his face, and he flinches like I was taking a swing at him. He takes the bill, turns it over a few times in his hands, and says
SG: "Mike, what's wrong with this bill?"
MG: "It's fake."
SG: "It doesn't look fake to me."
MG: "But it's a **$2** bill."
SG: "Yeah?"
MG: "Well, there's no such thing, is there?"
The security guard and I both looked at him like he was an idiot, and it dawned on the guy that he had no clue.
My burrito was free and he threw in a small drink and those cinnamon things, too. Makes me want to get a whole stack of $2 bills just to see what happens when I try to buy stuff. If I got the right group of people,
I could probably end up in jail. At least you get free food.

Well I just got some shitty news in the mail today.
July 23, 2007, I ran over my foot with a scissor lift at work, and have been on workman's comp ever since...
For those of you wondering what a scissor lift is, here is a picture...
The model that ran over my foot was over 2 tons. Nothing broke in my foot but there is massive nerve damage. However, I was diagnosed with something they call RSDS, which basically means that the nerves are uber-sensitive to any stimuli.
So over the last 17 months, I've gone thru procedure after procedure of trying to cause my nerves to reset themselves back to the way they were before the accident. Nothing worked, I felt relief for a little while but then the pain came back with a vengeance. So then my doctor came to the conclusion that inserting a cordical stimulator into my spinal canal would be the best form of relief. At that point I was all for it, and I still am, but Workman's Comp pulled a trump card saying my employer wanted a second opinion before authorizing the surgery. So we got one, his slightly differed from my doctor's diagnosis. So because of that the surgery had to be postponed, this was all back in Feb-March. So after going thru the hoops of tests, MRIs, and other physical examinations we came full circle back in Sept. or Oct. So I've been waiting to hear that WC was going to authorize the surgery since then.
Well my adjuster sent me a certified letter, that I just got today, basically saying that they aren't going to pay for the procedure to put in the cordical stimulator and only offered me $10,000 when the procedure itself costs over $100,000. Hell the simulator itself is around $80,000 according to my doctor. Now I know I've said in the past that I was thinking about getting a lawyer, but now I'm definitely gonna look into it. Any legal advise or possible lawyers anyone knows would be grateful. I'm definitely not looking to hirer an ambulance chaser.
Thanks

Bettie Page 1923-2008
Last night the fabulously notorious Bettie Page died at the age of 85 after suffering from a heart attack. Though an Icon of the 1950's, she has always been an inspiration to many aspiring female models and those in the fetish community. Though she maybe gone she will never be forgotten nor will she cease to inspire others.

These past few weeks have been great time to be an SG member. Well not to say that the past 13 months of being a member haven't been a great time either. I have made many new friends while being a member, found out that a few girls that I know in my life away from the internet are actually Suicide Girls. The reason that I feel that being a member is because that SG has had two sets go "live" recently that are shall we say of the fetish variety. Those would be Xiu's "abuse me" and just recently Moxi's "bed behavior". Now the only other one I would love to see go live is Sinsemilla's "Tied-up Pin-up" which is under review. The reason behind the reason is that for the past five to six years now I have been in the fetish scene. Either by going to monthly parties that are held near where I live or promoting and participating behind the scenes with other fetish-based shows. Now I know there are many Suicide Girls who have had fetish-based sets go "live" and I am not knocking their contributions, but to have two go live within nearly 24 hours of each other is wonderful. To all the Suicide Girls and to the staff, I applaud all of you keep those sets coming.
[Edit]
Oh, if your intrested in finding out more about the parties I spoke of check out this site Fetish Factory Parties or you can add them on Myspace

Well another late update.
Not much going on right now. Except for the factor that my roommate's cat died last Friday. His name was "Spooky" and he was a truly amazing cat that broke the usual cat stereotypes.
Other than that not much going on.

Well I haven't posted anything up in quite a while so I thought I'd do something before I went out of town this week. I'm headed up to Meadville, PA. to visit a close friend that I have known for over 15yrs. We havent seen each other for nearly 8yrs but we still kept in contact. Well I am kinda bored of typing now so I will just stop.
Well I put pictures of my tattoos up... Yea I know only 3... The plan is to get more, but right now I dont have the green...
