Welcome to another black-backgrounded journal entry. I'm not dark or anything. Honest.

so I'm lying. shoot me. :) Maybe I don't often portray it much on this page, but I'm pretty dark, evil, and twisted. I still manage to be relatively harmless, however. I just know how to indulge my dark side without any harm being done.  Well, maybe just a little. But it's the good kind, trust me.

I've been getting a little bit obsessed with Italian horror movies lately. Especially Dario Argento or any of his proteges (Michele Soavi, for instance.) These films have many redeeming values that most American horror films don't. They're original, unpredictable, artsy, and exciting. Discovering Argento and Soavi has, in many ways, revitalized my interest in horror films. There's only so many times you can watch Troma films, after all.

It's been hard to find some of Argento's more recent films; most I still haven't gotten my hands on. Blockbuster just doesn't carry this kind of stuff. Some may have a cut version of Suspiria, but that's a waste.

So far, I think Opera and Suspiria are my favorites. As far as Michele Soavi, the only films I've seen are The Church and Dellamorte Dellamore (Cemetary Man). And those are both really kick ass.
So now, I'm on a quest to find all of these films and view them without purchasing them. I will buy them all eventually on DVD, but I need to get a new DVD player first. (Oh yeah. Our house got busted into and they stole our DVD player. The bastards. I hope their crack made them OD.) Anyway... I'm just glad to be excited about horror again. Thought I'd share that with you. So there. :)

Not dark enough for you, you say? well, of course not. but I don't feel like writing about my interests in becoming a vampire, strict bondage and torture, watching the weirdest, sickest movies I can find, and reading about what happens to people after they die (corpses, I mean... not new age bullshit.)
I did manage to finally earn my bisexual wings this past weekend, though.  It was cool, interesting, and devious. The girl was extremely submissive (although not very much my type at all.) So, it was an interesting night. I'll spare the details even though I know you want them. I prefer to keep my site somewhere between PG and PG-13. :)

So I know that I haven't put up an entry in almost two months. But it's next to impossible for me to do it, so I just write in my own private paper journals when I need to. I've also been feeling good lately, and as great as feeling good is, it doesn't create good material for a publicly displayed journal. So, I'm just writing when I feel like it, and when I can (I can only use Yahoo Pagebuilder when I'm at Rob's folks' house.)

So there ya have it. There's probably more, but I'm getting bored. :) So, au revoir.
