Bio

Well, I'm a 23 year old college student studying Non-Fiction Writing at UIC (argh). My plan is to follow metal journalism as a career (God, or SATAN, willing).

I was born in Poland's capital city, Warsaw in 1983 and moved here when I was four. I have European blood but am culturally American. It makes for some interesting sensibilities.

I have lived in Massachusetts, downstate IL (Springfield), and  most recently Chicago. Chicago is nice culture-wise but people-wise I prefer Springfield. People there are more open and friendly. The best friends I ever made lived in Springfield.

I enjoy long walks on the beach, romantic sentiments, and movies about serial killers.

If you have any other questions, please feel free to email me or camp out in front of my house.

I love you all!

 

SPEED ROUND QUESTIONS: (Not just for the Artists)
Born: Nov 12, 1983; Warsaw, Poland.
Live or dead, if you could host a dinner party who would you invite: Well, I don't care much about meeting celebrities (metal or otherwise) so I suppose I'd pick the best friends I've had over the years and the family members THAT I ACTUALLY LIKE + my future wife transported from the future. All of the people who have given me shit over the years will be starving outside in the freezing cold as they watch the festivities inside.
Favorite Food: Hmmm...I'm going to be really lowbrow and say pizza.
Music: METAL! + European dance music + a smattering of other genres.
Color of Kitchen Plates: Whatever colors the Salvation Army gives me.
Hobbies: Music...Movies...Occasional Soccer, Biking, and Rollerblading.
Favorite Sport: Soccer.
Drinks: Tea (hot or cold), juice, occasionally whiskey (I can't drink a lot of things due to stomach problems but I sneak some alcohol in).
Ringtone on cellphone: "The Buffoon".
Cartoon Character: Cartman (South Park)
Guilty Pleasure Song/CD/Artist: I suppose any Euro-dance stuff like Groove Coverage, Sylver, Lasgo, etc. It's totally un-self-conscious fun.
Top 5 Favorite Movies: LOTR trilogy, Requiem for a Dream, Anchorman, May, Silent Hill (These change often).
Favorite albums at the moment: Hmmm...Trivium - "The Crusade", Ensiferum - "Dragonheads", In Flames - "Whoracle" (An oldie but I never stop liking this album), Iced Earth - "Alive in Athens" and "Horror Show" (I love IE up to "Glorious Burden". That album is ridiculous), 3 Inches of Blood "Advance and Vanquish".
Bacon bits or croutons: Croutons...up your ass!
Favorite smell: Gasoline.
Favorite sound: The sound of my own voice + sweet female laughter (These are sometimes one and the same) + the breakdown in "Dead Embryonic Cells" by Sepultura (it causes several orgasms in my ear).
Chocolate or Vanilla Ice Cream: Both synthesized into one.
First Album Purchased: Mortal Kombat movie soundtrack (I still like it. I suppose this is a guilty pleasure as well).
