Since I was old enough to legally get a job, I’ve been working for record stores, comic book shops, publishers, and magazines. If people didn’t pay for entertainment content, it’s unlikely that I would have had any of those jobs. Jobs which pay my rent, buy my beer, and allow me to support other artists. And as a current music producer, I sometimes fear the online culture of free has made it almost impossible for me to earn a living recording independent bands.

But, I like pirates.

In the previous installments of our futuristic fiction series, Please Use Rear Exit, Mikhail, who recently x-ed his GF (Katya), ventures out for his first major post-break up night on the tiles with the boys. Meanwhile, Katya is similarly “enjoying” a night out with the girls. However, though the no-longer happy couple are experiencing separate but parallel nights out, they exist in the same universe, so there’s a chance their worlds will collide at some point…

Their timing couldn’t have been more impeccable, at least as far as the line was concerned. Anything’s bouncers had started to let people in, no longer concerned about maintaining a line outside the doors for the purpose of appearances. And yet, the club wasn’t so crowded that they couldn’t let a three-guy-to-zero-girl ratio slide by every once in awhile. The overall breeziness of the situation put some pause in Mikhail’s step and he had to fight the temptation to run. If Jayson hadn’t pushed him forward, he might’ve discovered a way back.

Superman has been slated to return to the silver screen for quite some time now. It’s been nearly six months since Zack Snyder (Watchmen) signed on to direct the Kryptonian’s next blockbuster. There has been a slow trickle of information about the movie, but none of them have been as substantial as the latest news.

Director Tom Shadyac is playing up the fact that the director of Ace Ventura: Pet Detective has made a philosophical documentary. It shouldn’t be such a shock to people. Anyone deserves a voice in matters of humanity, and someone who’s already in touch with how to inspire laughter and happiness doubly so.

Luscious Suicide in Aquifer

• INTO: Small government, the right to privacy, the right to bear arms, drinking fine organic red wine and local beer made with spring water, copulating daily, getting my empty skin-canvas covered with art from my favorite minds, hanging out with Dane, free running in my city, animal rights, Rattus Rattus, old rods, shooting pool, BOWLING!, old school non-CGI special effects, going to shows, rocking out with the box out, camping/shroom benders with good friends, traveling, sustainable organic gardening, shopping at thrift stores, repairing old busted crusty things to be re-used, finding things on the street, having bonfires, winging things, running inanimate objects over with my car, getting all dolled up, laying in bed smoking delicious home grown cannabis all day, reverse-osmosis filtered water systems!
• NOT INTO: Big government, chlorine and fluoride being added to water, being exposed to toxins in daily life, electro-magnetic chaos, stress, high definition TVs, pesticides, genetically modified foods/animals, chemtrails, vaccines, religion and those who force it on others, wasteful consumer whores, self-absorbed assholes, fast food, anything imported from China that is not art, unconstitutional taxes, bills (particularly Bill C-51), and drama of any kind.
• MAKES ME HAPPY: Livin’ the dream, working at home with the love of my life. Went from counter wench at Way Cool in Niagara in 1998, to owning my own studio in 2010! Go team Snibbard! The feeling when people come back to my shop and thank me for “waking them up.” Having a long walk with my farfels, and a packed bong after a hard days work. Any day where a large captive animal mauls, tramples, or kills a human, especially tigers. Any day where a crooked politician is publicly embarrassed, and made to fumble on their own words, and backpedal desperately.
• MAKES ME SAD: Manufactured news, fake “recessions” only made for corporate takeovers and to line the pockets of the wealthy. The intentional “dumbing down” and distraction of society to repress uprising, free thought, and speech. People excessively eating mass produced, abused animals. Not so much that eating animals is wrong in nature, but not necessary in today’s age. My stand is more-so a protest to society’s abuse of nature. Realistically, I would eat animals if it was back in the day when there were old school local organic butcher shops, and there wasn’t a fast food empire based on their demise. I would, absolutely, love to hunt, blood-let, and skin my own animals to eat, much like my family does. Please eat only local kosher meat 🙂
• HOBBIES: Snowboarding, jogging, perusing, gardening, paintball, wake boarding, drunk-ass bocce ball in the sunshine, metal working, painting, roller derby, hiking, road tripping.
• 5 THINGS I CAN’T LIVE WITHOUT: METAL!! (in a loud shrieking voice), hydrogen peroxide, Dr.Bronners, tea tree oil, snowboarding.
• VICES: The chronic, those little succulent Thai patties from Zen Gardens, goji, acai, mangosteen and noni juices.
• I SPEND MOST OF MY FREE TIME: Perusing Infowars.com, PrisonPlanet.com, reading, planting things, maintaining as much greenery indoors as possible, hanging out with nature, exercising – your body should be your temple, and it should be a well-oiled machine, free of pain.
