I'm a vegetarian, have several tattoos, and can often be found at Goth/Industrial clubs in the SoCal area. I've worked in a studio as a recording/mixing/mastering engineer for a number of years, and I do sound reinforcement and recording of live music from time to time. I'm on a life long search for family of choice.
I'm deeply interested in the spiritual, metaphysical, super-natural, philosophical. I have a great interest in the macabre and the darker things of life. I move in very alternative circles.
I love Asian dragons and what they represent, and I identify very closely with tigers.
All icons in this journal were created by me. I've tried to cite the sources of the material for my icons whenever I could.
"Shang Chi" means a spirit that rises and advances.
