You are Welcome to Elsinore.

I don't update daily, sorry but I have a life and all that. I will update at least once a week. I'm a writer for SieEnt, a Video Game development company, a Community faculty member in Screenwriting at Metropolitan State University and have a full time job as an analyst at the U of MN. I have an MFA in Creative Writing/Screenwriting from Goddard College, and a bit of a snarky attitude, so hopefully you'll at least be entertained, if not informed. Thanks for stopping by.

Seriously, am I becoming as batshit crazy as Manson (Charlie, not Marilyn)

I have been having some rough emotional shit with all this physical healing taking so long and having way too much time alone in my brain. I didn't really realize how close to 'lock-her-up' time it might be until I was reading the lyrics for an album that I love and had the thought that he (Aaron of Awolnation) was speaking just to me through this album. Then I promptly recalled that Manson thought the White Album by the Beatles* was a message just to him that it was time to lead the revolution of the black man against 'whitey' and committed the Tate and LaBianca murders.
Then I realized that by having that realization, I had gone that extra step Manson never did, or maybe I didn't go that extra step...not really sure which.
Regardless, I very quickly realized that while the album (Megalithic Symphony) certainly is extremely relevant to everything I'm going through right now, it's not just for or about me. "It's not just music, but a crusade designed to fight all that's fake, commercialized, compromised and debased in popular culture."

whew.

btw, if you'd like to find out more about the most amazing musical artist since Mumford & Sons visit the website: www.awolnationmusic.com


oh, and they'll be here in MN at the Varsity Theater on Nov, 10th. Obviously I'll be there, let me know if you plan to attend.

*I know that it shouldn't be necessary to identify the artist of The White Album, but apparently there are lots of kids out there that weren't raised properly by their parents.
