Mindscanning the maroon of reality
It's a peculiar feeling, being offered all this space,
yet not knowing what to fill it with at this moment of time
So like all equally unimaginative peers conquering the electronic frontier,
I firstly choose to exhibit the links that I preferably cruise
As a wise man once said: show me your links, and I'll tell you who you are!
Hardly a coincidence that the name I was given alliterates the states of
mind usually attributed to me: melancholy, misanthrophy, mystery.
Study this enigma's mug shot, taken just before the transfer to San Quentin
Now for something slightly more entertaining,
hear the invitation to open my precious photo album
featuring pictures of a few bands that I highly appreciate
So enter the... *drumroll*... Cold Meat Industry gallery...
Look back to understand what lies in front
Look inside to grasp what surrounds yourself
Bow down to salute the one who upholds order
Then kick his face to mark your independence
Stay free -- defend your individuality -- shy away from mass culture!

In the name of all that which is sacred,
thus spake the herald of truth.
On a much too mild February night, 1997.
