Cameo apperance until my feature |

Hello. I am a person almost no one knows. In my old scene I was out all the time and everyone knew me, but I've largely kept to myself since I moved to Seattle almost nine years ago. Every couple of years, I force myself to go down to the Mercury or similar venue, then I just sort of never come back. That will be changing in a couple months, as it's time to get on with it all. See everyone then I suppose.

Welcome to Seagoth. We're hoping to organize some of the old club and non-club based activities which used to happen five years ago, or so. Two forums, Roll Calls & Events, and I Saw You, In Search Of, as well as General, can be good places to announce plans. All it takes is a few introductions, and then it becomes a lot harder to disappear.

As the loneliest guy in the entire city, I just love it when women get nosy about me. The fact you'd be equally nosy no matter who or what I was doesn't spoil it for me at all. But how shall this hermit describe himself?
1) Musanios will do just fine for right now. Maybe my given name will creep onto these pages after a time, or maybe I'll find myself being called what the punks used to call me, "Cosmos". My real name came to my father in a psychedelic vision while he was driving a car. It's pretty much a miracle he didn't drive right off the road, as he claims that the sky itself cracked open and the white light in the void called out to him, telling him to name his firstborn child [censored]. Yeah, I'm one of those. 2) I could just say that black contains all the other colors....but I'm not going to be a jerk today. I love colors from the upper half of the spectrum, including deep greens and blues and purples. Although colors like yellow and orange and even brown can be used in a way that is pleasing to me, usually they make my eyes bleed. And of course I like silver and chrome. 3) If we are not talking about alchohol, I like OJ not from concentrate, and love anything blueberry flavored. Banana-strawberry is good. Green tea is good. If we are talking about alchohol, give me dark beer over light beer in the first category. Not because it looks cooler, but because dark beer is thicker and has a much richer flavor. I used to drink a lot of Samuel Adams back when i lived in New Orleans. I used to drink a lot of everything back when i lived in New Orleans.... With regard to stronger spirits, I'm a whisky and bourbon drinker, why screw around if you are getting drunk? I've also polished off lots of vodka. The occasional Long Island Iced Tea is called for. Although I was out all night every night in my old scene, I do not drink very much anymore. I've had one beer in the last month. Once I drank the members of Circus Belfast to the ground when they came to visit the Irish pub I worked at in the French Quarter. In spite of these adventures, I am not and have never been an alchoholic. There were whole years where I was the only non-alchoholic I knew. In that city drinking and shooting pool is all there is to do. Drinking also helped me "loosen up" on the endless quest for a hot girlfriend. Endless I say? Actually, when I failed to end up with any of the women I was the most compatible with, I cut and run from my old scene and moved here. I am not from the south, don't like the south anyway and it was time to go. For one thing, I knew the city would shortly be destroyed in a flood, which happened only five or six years after I left. Why so much about my life on a question of what's my favorite beverage? Well, you bar-hoppers know how your life and your booze intertwine. 4) Here's an awfully long subject.....No room here for much in fact. Shall I just say I like the Cruxshadows and Bauhaus and say....Pink Floyd and be done with it? Nah, too easy. I already made this list on Ok Cupid and could just post a link...no, too many eggs in one basket. I like THX1138, Brazil, Fritz Lang's Metropolis, Skinny Puppy, Front 242 (yeah, I'm cybertrash, sue me), I used to like London After Midnight before they came to my old roommate's own goth club the Angel Club in New Orleans that closed down a decade ago, Ministry, The Cranes, Gas Tank Orchestra (they actually made real instruments out of old gas tanks), Foetus, Gwar, anything by Larry Niven, Aphrodite's Child, Ultimate Spinach, The Soft Machine, Vanilla Fudge, The Moody Blues, Severed Heads, The Dead Kennedys, Falling Janus, Tool, Dead Can Dance, Ursula K. LeGuin, Gene Wolfe, Tones on Tail and lots more but I'm running out of internet time here at the library. 5) emoticons...have to think about it. I actually stopped using IRC long ago due to extreme overuse of emoticons by people. Whole pages of emoticons responding to emoticons with very few words on every IRC channel. |

Another New Orleans transplant? I worked in and around the French Quarter for years, and go for a bit of vodka from time to time myself. Which Irish bar?

I worked at Molly's At The Market on Decatur street. It was my very first job, and the guy running the kitchen paid me only $15 a day to start. It's a key reason I was never able to get on my feet financially. However, I didn't wear a uniform or pee in a cup for some suit, and those kinds of things are excessively important to me. I started in 1992 and worked there for just over a year and a half. Although my job title was delivery man, the job included being the only dishwasher, prep cook and janitor. The next delivery guy job did not directly involve kitchen work, but was even faster paced as customers called in truly huge orders and expected them at thier doors almost immediately. Truth is, service industry work combined with a very low standard of living messed me up pretty bad. Standards for treatment of workers are especially low in New Orleans.
There is a plus to my bad life in New Orleans though.....I became great at shooting pool. I was even on a pool team captained by fantasy author Robert Aspirin for a while. I have a bunch of flashy victory plaques to show off, including a big MVP award for the season I was the most lonely. You see, the more frustrated I got, the better at pool I became. Finally I was one of the best pool sharks in the city. I'm out of practice now, but I'll be getting plenty of practice soon since I'm getting back into the scene. |

hello again.
I remember exchanging pleasant hellos with you through private messages a few years ago... on that other ezboard. Do you miss the dump (nola) at all or does it just seem like a hoax now? I don't miss it at all. In fact if my foot were large enough I'd lace up a boot and squish what's left of the stank city just like a french quarter palmetto bug: crunch and splat. |

The details of my life are quite inconsequential....
Very well, where do I begin? My father was a relentlessly self-improving boulangerie owner from Belgium with low-grade narcolepsy and a penchant for buggery. My mother was a 15-year-old French prostitute named Chloe with webbed feet. My father would womanize; he would drink. He would make outrageous claims like he invented the question mark. Sometimes, he would accuse chestnuts of being lazy. The sort of general malaise that only the genius possess and the insane lament... My childhood was typical: summers in Rangoon...luge lessons... In the spring, we'd make meat helmets... When I was insolent I was placed in a burlap bag and beaten with reeds pretty standard, really. At the age of 12, I received my first scribe. At the age of 14, a Zoroastrian named Wilma ritualistically shaved my testicles there really is nothing like a shorn scrotum it's breathtaking... I suggest you try it. |

Thanks whoever you are, I know exactly how to respond to you from now on. After all, I created you. It's perfectly logical. |

Well, I started out posting only a few words, holding back the flood of words that spews out of me at the slightest provocation. Then I was encouraged to say more, and bang! I once believed I had a latent talent as a writer.
Thing is, I am either "on" or "off". My greatest flaw, aside from my empty wallet, is an almost total inability to make "small talk". I sincerely believe that I have an undiagnosed case of dyssemia (sp?), a condition that could be called autism's little brother. I naturally rub people the wrong way, and it's beyond my control. I am the master of saying the wrong thing, and usually can't communicate using body language instead of words. I don't take "hints". I find dealing with people to very awkward if they are not my enemies. My primary socialization was being the new hippie kid in a conservative school, or being the only lightly colored kid in the ghetto in washington DC. My primary socialization was on a me-vs-them basis. Do I miss New Orleans? No. I miss the only friends I ever had as an adult, and I miss the fact that I could get 3.5 one-night stands a year to help me keep my sanity. It's a $25 cab ride home from the Mercury, so I don't often go. How do I make love (lol)? Much to my surprise, I was actually pretty good in bed. Even more surprising, the women I've been with were actually beautiful. Why am I talking past tense? Well, this week marks the anniversary of five years since I've spent the night with a woman. I'm getting back into the scene as part of my mid-life crisis. Since I first started college at 16 to study quantum mechanics and molecular engineering, and my objective was to use nanotechnology to give the counterculture a second chance to make thier own society and defy conservatives, I would be overly complimented to be called Dr.Evil. However, I am not very smart anymore, and don't know the specific gravity of molybdenum from a hole in my head. |
