Earth, Skewed My Way
Welcome to my humble abode. I am Denny Hill 2 (that's the second, not the sequel), though people who mess around on the international computer network system that the media loves to catch-phrase as the Internet tend to call me Firebomb - or, in less lucid moments, 'dirt bag', or any other number of cretinous insults. But then, in a global anarchy, what does one expect? If you care, this is a recent me:
Anyway, this is my site, so I thought that it would be at least partially nice of me to state a couple things about myself. Who am I? I'm basically a 35 year old ex-techie, one who has had a rather long string of generally unsatisfying jobs in the 14 years since I graduated from college; but then who hasn't, when you get right down to it? But that's okay - the Hate has me, and that's what drives me these days.
When I'm not working as an Emergency Dispatch Operator / Internet Marketer / Independent Contractor (none of which I trained for in college, I might add), I'm occasionally cranking away on this site. This site is, of course, Technohol 13: the Atomic Drink! What the heck is Technohol, you ask? Well, I could tell you but then you might not look for the obscure story I wrote about it for the site somewhere.
You may note that my work in this regard is somewhat... sporadic. This is because my life is in utter flux; I seem to have been laid off from one of my jobs, quit another, and am pursuing the last .5 job with haphazard success. And that's when I'm not talking to the woman I love (yes, I am no longer single, imagine that) or pursuing one of my twelve other hobbies. No I'm not one of those ADD people.
Really.
But when I'm not Technoholing (can Technohol be a verb? Good question.), I do a couple other things. I play some City of Heroes now and then in order to blow off steam; punching pretend people is pretty good in that regard. Drop me a line in-game at @firebomb if bored. I also tend to read many comics; usually things by Fabian Nicieza or Warren Ellis, plus random others that catch my fancy these days.
I tend to enjoy generally cheesy, mind-numbing action films, not to mention well done horror flicks. I'd say I like sci-fi movies, but I've watched the lot of them become a generic gobbledygook of blah in the last decade, most of which I blame solely on the Sci-Fi channel, but that's just me. A few gems aside I generally just avoid that stuff nowadays. I suppose that's one reason I write now.
I figure I'll never be famous for my work, but I do like to write stuff now and then. You can find most of that stuff on this site, in the Variant Earth 13 zone, but I plan on adding a bit ... more, here or there. I also do random drawing when the mood strikes me, but of late I have a problem with 3-D imagery, and it's generally frustrating enough to make me stop. I'm getting there though, so that's a bonus.
Hm, what else describes 'me'. Used to do a public access television show, but that sort of tapered off a bit back; someday you may see me in my Plantmaster suit if I ever get around to digitizing the old school episodes of the show. You may like them - we pulled some silliness we weren't seeing on (public access) television at the time - and hope to again make our own shows some day should we get the time.
Also, I like to simply hang out with friends and such on occasion, though I've been horribly, horribly neglectful in that regard these last few months. My time is so darn limited that if I'm lucky, I see a friend or two maybe once a week - it's that bad. I suppose that horrid level of isolation is bad for you, what what can I say? I like to think that I'm driven, but maybe I'm just a freak or something.
As far as other little quirks and nuances, well, I suppose I'm what you might consider a 'metal-head', enjoying music-stuff like Faith No More, Ministry, Damageplan, and of course, Rob Zombie. Sure, there's other fun stuff, like the occasional Benny Benassi, Ghengis Tron, and oddly, 3rd Bass, but hey, a little variety never hurt anybody, now, did it? Unless your personal variety includes arsenic shakes...
As for peeking deeper into my head, I have a real 'home page' working. I have one set up, but I must warn you most strenuously that, while I go to insane lengths to keep things 'g rated' here, you won't find that on my domain of angry rants and tirades. You may not like reading the things I ramble, and may decide you don't like me. But having warned you, if you're still game, my 'home' page is at Banality.com.
