Hey Doug, thanks. I really enjoy your site. I'll plug it heartily. Be sure to poke around and make sure you're down with my site. We're not racists, but we're not real sensible either. Thanks though. Below is the standard question thing...
 
 
23 Questions With The Semi-Famous
Don't' take the semi-famous thing as an insult, or a compliment. But do the questions. Anything below in parenthesis will not appear in the final version, everything else will. Take your time. Make light of the whole thing, or be serious. Whatever's most important to you, or whatever. Please feel free to go into detail on questions. Or don't. Again, whatever feels comfortable.)
 
 
 
Where were you born, and where do you live now?

I was born in Trenton, New Jersey. I live in West Hollywood, California  -  a suburb of Los Angeles.
 
 
 
What does your mom refer to you by?

She calls me Doug, or the slightly formal Douglas.
 
 
 
I've got this belief that most oddball creative individuals fall under the influence of a "crazy uncle", in other words a close family member who can corrupt you without actually having to live with the madness he creates. Who was the crazy uncle in your life?

I was never inspired by family members as the oldest child looking for better off. Neighbors and friends charmed me far more as more to show for it. I had what I had in family.
 
 
 
(Answer this however you want, it's a dumbass thing just meant to be wide open for however you want to answer it.) Who's the man?

The man for me is many individuals doing regular everyday things with finesse and a ton of class - never focusing on one individual. The man comes and goes back to it. See me.
 
 
 
The perfect woman. What is she fixing you for dinner right now?

The perfect woman is fixing herself dinner and maybe I eat. A few things - I am gay and see no woman as I see manhood. People who provide food for me are graced but not particularly worthy of such. I eat to live and live to do. Who helps me do? The perfect woman, as such, helps me do but only in such and in kind. We help each other to a better place.
 
 
 
What two people have been the biggest influence on what you do?

This sounds corny, but I look to many people and take from wherever good is found as loving the right answer at the right time. One such influence was a neighbor that kept the house spotless with little treasured and another known for hospitality to children. Others skilled in conventional matters thrill me. I can't really name an honest do in truth. Onward from there and up.
 
 
 
At what moment did you most feel like a success at what you are doing?

A few years ago, I sat back and realized that I loved who I was to myself and others. I knew special in me. Leave it at that.
 
 
 
What makes someone a "sell-out"?

A sell-out acts in the interest of others forgoing their own feelings on things. A sell-out is but an appendage to another and is not worth speaking of.
 
 
 
Ideally, if you could just chill and not have a job or bills or any of that shit, where would you settle down at, and why?

I would live where I'm living comfortably and engage in the arts routinely. I'd own a record store, a lounge, a dance club, and a party zone for filth ensues. I am nothing but cordial always and people love being aroudn me. We are never boring, but gay catty to one another.
 
 
 
If the World was ending tomorrow, who would you kick it with tonight?

I'd probably be high and not caring at all. I'm into destiny and as such never plan an 'end of the world' catered affair. I insult the past and the future by buying in not. So what to you - I do as I always do. What do you want? A reaction? Die like a man lives.
 
 
 
What three songs should they play at your funeral?

Those songs haven't been written yet. Another thing I never plan is my own funeral. Talk about living for others - you can't even rest in death, can you? My funeral is quiet, small, solemn, and bare. I was no one to you or anyone else and like it that way. My being is owned by me. You see this.
 
 
 
What book is your Bible? And you can't pick the Bible.

Any book of practical knowledge. I like doing, not saying. A book that helps me do anything technical is but my friend. I learn to know and you help me with this to be my bible.
 
 
 
Who, in your opinion, is the most evil person alive on the planet today?

In terms of truest evil that would be me (seriously). The truest evil has no bounds for cruelty and harm for you. Your evil suggests playmate and I have none. Bad is more to your liking, but bad only hurts people. My evil saw you long ago and likes you anyway. Other than that, I nominate the Snuggle bear (of laundry softener fame) for knowing who he is too well. That creature is purely evil falling from heavenly grace to your known and seen.
 
 
 
What scares you more than anything else?

The known world. I cherish the world and its frights for making me special to people. The world evidences the highest measure of cruelty to people and I love it for scaring me straight too. We were never meant to live so good.
 
 
 
What's your favorite t-shirt, and how often do you wear it?

My favorite t-shirt declares me a supporter of UCLA in white and blue. It is both youth and confusion served up to the little mind afoot. Anything ante-statement (against and for) is my personal treasure.
 
 
 
What would you get tattooed across your fingers if you were getting a LOVE/HATE type tattoo?

A tattoo across my fingers? It would have to be mystic (known to us) and cryptic (buried within somewhere). I don't believe in communicating to people in tattoo. I have nothing to say, but much to suggest in this and perhaps that. Favorite question: What do you see? to annex that.
 
 
 
If you could be a character from a movie for a day, who would it be, and why?

It would be Pinhead from "Hellraiser". Pinhead always commands respect and never leaves you wanting for a better line. He is me.
 
 
 
What's your favorite beer, and what beer have you probably drank the most of in your life?

I like Miller Lite for no good reason other than goodwill and good sales respect. Take me - I'm yours.
 
 
 
What's the worst thing that ever happened to you while you were drugged up or drunk?

The worst episode came on behalf of masked heroin snorted and I nearly blacked out with nausea and disrespect. I hate that shit forever and hope it sails on. I've done much as not particularly flattering and find it all routine and necessary for lifebeing. We live to foible - I'm sure of it.
 
 

(Don't be an asshole; just admit something that ain't cool about yourself.) What's your guilty pleasure?

I'm intolerant of people and their needs around me. A guilty pleasure? I fear no shame and have no mercy towards you in pursuit of anything. Take what you can and leave the rest for others to wonder about.
 
 
 
What do you think of the Confederate Mack website or zine?

I like the stance - never forget us here - but owe you so much more in terms of knowing. We see you otherwise and care for you too.
 
 
 
Fuck all these stupid assed questions. What should I be asking you, and what's the answer?

Who am I really? God Incarnate. See this to be with. It's real and delivered good.
 
 
 
Wrap up everything you believe in one sentence.

We live to see the future unfold, not the past. Be a part of my future or see the past around you waiting to die as you die too. I'm in this for fun. How 'bout you? See it to me.
 
 
 
Thanks.

Thanks to you too - I like the opportunity to say me.
