Aurora - A different kind of human Wierd pop from Finland or somewhere Nordic, reminds me of early Bjork but with more modern techno sensibilities Skye Wallace - Skye Wallace Raw energetic folk punk with a voice that veers from ethereal to something that crawled from the gutter.

Sounds like we have a lot in common. Also almost 50, just got into Karate about 4 years ago as part of a lifestyle change. Testing for brown belt this fall. Big time PC gamer, 90's at-rock fan, and techie. Managed to lose 60lbs over a 2-3 year period but stopped tracking and using the app in the fall and I've gained back…

Right now it’s ‘Northern Lights’ by Death Cab for Cutie

If you are as wide as you are tall you are round.

Goths girls who don’t take themselves too seriously. Sarcastic. Must be equally comfortable in a dive bar as she is at a fancy art opening.

Listening to a lot of Peter Murphy and Bauhaus right now, getting ready for them reunion tour that hits Toronto Feb 22nd

Feeling *kitten* because I hurt my back on Tuesday and have been unable to train at all and spending a lot of time on my back with a heating pad.

I would walk 500 miles... and then I would walk 500 more... to be the man who walked a 1000 miles... (stuck in all your heads now! ha ha ha ha)

Recently I've been playing the 'Industrial Cardio' playlist on Google Play Music. Its got all the more well-known choices like NIN, KMFDM, Ministry, etc. but also plenty of obscure tracks. Its also long enough to not constantly be repeating. Highly recommend.

This makes me cry. One of the best shows on television.

When I was 5 years old my Aunt gave me a Leafs jersey for Christmas. Brother got a Habs jersey. Things were set at that point. Been a Leafs fan for 40 years and it’s 40 years of disappointment. I cheer for the Leafs until they are eliminated. Then I cheer for Boston if they are still in it because I can still cheer against…

First conference call of the day. Coffee in hand. Dog at my feet.

Found a great playlist called “Industrial Cardio” on Google Play. It’s been my go-to for the last couple weeks.

Sarcastic without being rude. Loves hockey but not football. Self confidence without being arrogant. Yoga pants.

Turned 47 a couple months ago. In better shape today then I was in my 20's. Joined a Dojo the summer before my 45th birthday and started learning Karate in an attempt to get in shape. It didn't have much effect until this past May when I snapped and changed other aspects of my lifestyle. Essentially gave up alcohol (I'll…

I’m totally going to offer to attend aqua fit with her. Thanks for the advice!!!

Struggling a bit with this right now. My wife and I got out of shape together. Kids, middle age, etc. Too many bags of potato chips, too much fast food, etc. In March I snapped, changed my entire outlook and since then dropped 50 lbs. Mostly by quitting chips, alcohol, and junk food but continuing existing workout regime…

Random pushups while heating up something in microwave or just sometimes stop in the hallway and do a quick 10 just because.

Recently I have been reading tons of historical fiction. The Last Kingdom series, the Viking series by Gilles Kristian, and the Bolitho series (18th century Navel fiction) by Alexander Kent. Try to mix in some non-fiction (politics mostly) and decent sci-fi which i have a hard time finding these days. We need a modern…

That being said I'm heading to YouTube now and checking out all the names of bands I didn't recognize.

Call me crazy but when it comes to goth/industrial I listen to the same stuff now that I did 20+ years ago. Front Line Assembly, Skinny Puppy, Ministry, Revolting *kitten*, Pigface, Killing Joke, Sisters of Mercy, Front 242, Bauhaus, etc.

They were damn fine at Riot Fest a couple years ago when I saw them. 2014 I think. Last time I had seen them before that was back in the early 90's when they opened for Neil Young.

I love that video!

Bard's Tale on the Commodore 64

TNG / Original Series. 4th Doctor. Episode I, II and III never happened. PC Gaming only (Turn-based Strategy). AD&D 1st Edition. Catan. Browncoat. Dumbledore's Army. Happily married, geek kids. Add if you want.

If your drinking alone then Whiskey. Single Malt. If your with someone than wine. It's a shame to open a bottle of good wine alone.

I read a lot. Just finished the final book in Angus Donald's reimagining of the Robin Hood legend "The Death of Robin Hood". I'm a big sucker for medieval historical fiction. Right before that I finally got around to Neil Gaiman's American Gods. Before that was Wings of the Storm by Giles Kristian (historical fiction again…
