Thoughts From a Sensory Deprivation Chamber: my first bio
i wrote this when i was 20. it was my first bio for the band i was in at the time (the new york city crack team). i thought i was soooooo clever. have a look see...
my name is anton mueller. affectionatly known, to any who have
shared more than thirty seconds with me, as twon. i was born on august
15, 1980, under a swarm of hungry bats. i did
not cry when i was born, but i did cry when i first heard "adagio for
strings" by samuel barber.
when i was three years old i
could recite the names of every president and greek god, but since then
i have replaced that knowledge with usless facts about led zepplin and
the past and present rosters of the green bay packers. i believe that a
supreme being is our future, not our origin (obscure "dilbert"
reference). i am gifted in the use of the english language and have
been known to write several extesive research papers at once in a mere
2 hours. i once adopted two baby robins and nursed them back to health
over the course of a summer, teaching them how to fly and hunt for
worms. i ended a promising football career by falling off a mountain
during an afterhours bike excursion. i once traveled to africa and
spent a week living naked in the jungle just outside of victoria falls,
zimbabwe. i have written dissertations on the subject of
negative-cognitive disorders which the psyciatric community have done
their best to cover up, believing me to be dangerous and revolutionary
in my ideas. i once saved an old folks home from being overrun by a
hive of an aggressive species of housefly, using only a rolled up
"saturday evening post" and a bottle of windex.
my father is a brilliant composer and my mother is an educative
adminisrtator. my brothers are both far more talented than i, and my
sister is far cuter. i believe tyler durden and james t. kirk are the
greatest heroes of the 20th century. i work the graveyard shift at a
posh new york hotel for insurance coverage and social curiosity. during
my lunch break i rent grappling hooks and swing though the city looking
for evildoers and righting wrongs.
my favorite album of all time is "thud", by kevin gilbert. i believe
ian anderson was a great artist and a visionary until he gave up
illegal drugs and decided to take valium to aid in his creative
process. for two hours each week i sell out and compose horridly
unoriginal pop standards for untalented cantonese artists to earn the
money on which i survive. i smoke compusively when i am composing, but
would never admit to it. i think that ben folds and maynard james
keenan are the only musicians to emerge since 1990 who have said
anything of any social significance. i own every recording by the band
YES, and have made jon anderson's voice the bane of my neighbors'
collective, early morning, existences.
my favorite food is not chicken. all matter is made up of very small
things, i, however, am not. i am a raging egomaniac, but i am unequaled
as a listener. i am a shoulder to cry on to some, the fool on the hill
to others. i eat anything, as long as it tastes good. i cannot burp.
ahhhh, nostalgia!

I ate this up. And I adore your huge, sparkling brain.

and for the record, the answer is NO.
“me, i’m not.” reznor’s a whiner, but i’m addicted.

maynard will make you a ham sandwich. how can you say no to that?
“i believe tyler durden and james t. kirk are the greatest heroes of the 20th century.”
for this fact alone, i revere you. you are truly, my single-serving-friend.

“i am gifted in the use of the english language and have been known to write several extesive research papers at once in a mere 2 hours…”
but with spell check? not so much. =P
Hang in there… many a talented person is not discovered or seen but the persistent often are. But, every once in a while… someome comes along who has both or at least a bit of both. That’s a quote I heard somewhere. I mangled it. I used to live by that quote when I was trying to get my GED. Seriously. I have met Bart Star mofo… and you are jealous.
This was so great to read while I have a break… you get points Twon for sharing this. I have a soft spot for the gifted, their path is a rough one( my brother is gifted) and you haven’t imploded like so many do. Zimbabwe? Doesn’t the earth smell divine, do you remember that?
