I have to say – and I know this is going to sound immodest – but I really did kind of do pretty well this week.
I don’t think I know of any other single guy holding down a house (and if I’m missing someone, please let me know), and in addition, someone who’s still doing ok in maintaining some kind of creative output.

“And to think, I hesitated...”
“What was today’s agenda? Ah yes, evisceration!”
“No anesthetic at hand... shame.”
“Ahhhhhh, good! A fight!!”
“I’m taking over this operation, and you girls will be my first patients!”
- Channard Cenobite (played by Kenneth Cranham) in “Hellraiser II: Hellbound”
That photo I posted yesterday of myself and that beauty of a Red-Tail Boa was taken at Pet Kingdom over...

Did I forget to mention how much I love you, Ophidia?
CAVLDRON 2WONTY <> LIDLESS AND ALL-SEEING.
J.P. Monroe (Kevin Bernhardt): “Jesus Christ!” [reacting in horrific awe to Pinhead’s appearance]
Pinhead (Doug Bradley): “...Not quite.”

Pinhead (Doug Bradley): “Although the boy will not die here, for a thousand years his dearest wish will be that he had!”

“And to think, I hesitated.” – Dr. Philip Channard (played by Kenneth Cranham), immediately after being transformed to his fantastically grotesque and perverse incarnation as a Cenobite, a demonic torturer and permanent denizen of Hell.
I'm 41, so my days of giving a fuck are officially over. I'm here to start turning things upside down and to abandon caring about who I might offend. In fact, I'm here to offend. Especially if you're religious. I do not have any respect for any religion: I am an atheist prick.
As Bill Maher said, "There are no great religions: they're all stupid...

Yes! Michael Dunn, peace-out, bitch! Convicted on three attempted second-degree murder charges for racially profiling and trying to kill four black men in an SUV who were... *gasp*... playing loud music! Oh noes!
Mikey Dunn, essentially a life sentence.
When is society going to get over its fear of black men? “Holy shit, it’s a black man! Run for your fucking lives! He’s probably a...

Self-castration with semi-sharp shards of pottery is not something I would ever elect to do, but apparently it happened in Ancient Rome every March 24th with some regularity. The whole de-balling thing was done by the priests of Attis so that they might feel the same pain he delivered upon himself.
Attis, the consort of Cybele in Phrygian and Greek mythology, is my namesake, and...

I actually doubt that anyone truly knows me. If all you’re familiar with is a nice, meek, sweet, well-intentioned man, that is – at most – half of the story. As light as that side is, the other is just as conversely dark. After all, if I’m being completely honest with myself, I should admit that I *can* be intolerant, angry, combative, impatient, confrontational, unsettling,...

Seriously, does anyone love that motherfucker as much as I do? Glenn Greenwald is one exceptionally insightful and fearless journalist (in the truest sense of the word) that I would probably follow to my doom, however that would happen.
And Edward Snowden should be his VP. And Bradley Manning and Julian Assange surely members of their cabinet.
On a related note, though I don’t believe...

So my favorite Canadian export, Skinny Puppy, billed the U.S. federal government for allegedly using their music as a method of torture during interrogations of detainees at Guantanamo Bay. According to one half of the music duo – cEvin Key – they’re billing them $666.
Admirable on behalf of the band? Nah. Publicity stunt, I say. Just one way to get more people to check...

I think I’m going to go see Skinny Puppy this Saturday at House of Blues downtown. I have to admit I don’t think particularly highly of anything they’ve done since 2004, but their albums “Too Dark Park” and “Last Rights” are among my favorite records in the history of recorded music, particularly the former.
Sometimes, I think you have to be on heroin, miserable, and...
