About
Im that guy from out of town who you will likely never see again but hear stories about.
I spend most of the year living and working on a cruise ship as a Lighting Designer in various parts of the world; caribbean, europe, alaska, austrailia, asia, south america... Internet is hard to come by at sea and in the third world so updates are few and far between.
Im looking for friends, music, and a city to settle down in.
P.S.: This page doesn't work in Internet Explorer, but frankly, i dont give a shit. My time is limited and i have better things to do than corrupt my clean code just so the slow people on IE can read it all. Seriously people, this is web 2.0, what the hell are you thinking? Go get FireFox right now and install it. "Oh, woe is me, im not allowed to install software" i hear you cry. No worries, Firefox Portable works from a thumb drive or folder on your desktop.
