who is this rebelcool anyway?

i am who i am. usually.

i'm male. from houston. and deliberately typing in all lower case.

some say i'm an artist, others say my art isnt art at all but worthless shit that should be scourged from the planet. hey, i love compliments, dont you? so why dont i have more "page art"? because im in a minimalist mood. thats just how i am..my pictures reflect my mood im in. i'm funky like that.

i'm non-religious and usually anti-religious. it's the bane of humanity. but thats what the manifesto is for...

i'm a lazy updater. this page hasn't been changed since january of 1999, with an exception. my latest work is the machine, a fusion of community, design and advanced technology.

what have i contributed to society? depends. is it a contribution or just a negative annoyance? depends on who you are. i'm not known as "that bastard asshole reb" on refugee's for nothing you know.

nihilism. apathy. qualities that probably fit me...

in case you're wondering, alot of my art and words are influenced heavily by kmfdm. to sum up my attitude, ill be unoriginal and quote an entire song. although its by nicole blackman.

dogma
all we want is a headrush
all we want is to get out of our skin for awhile
we have nothing to lose because we don't have anything
anything we want anyway...
we used to hate people
now we just make fun of them
it's more effective that way
we don't live
we just scratch on day to day
with nothing but matchbooks and
sarcasm in our pockets
and all we are waiting for
is for something worth waiting for
let's admit america gets the celebrities we deserve
let's stop saying "don't quote me"
because if no one quotes you
you probably havent said a thing worth saying
we need something to kill the pain
of all that nothing inside
we all just want to die a little bit
we fear that pop-culture
is the only culture we're ever going to have
we want to stop reading magazines
stop watching tv
stop caring about hollywood
but we're addicted to the things we hate
we don't run washington and noone really does
ask not what you can do for your country
ask what your country did to you
the only reason you're still alive is because someone
has decided to let you live
we owe so much money we're not broke we're broken
we're so poor we can't even pay attention
so what do you want
you want to be famous and rich and happy
but you're terrified you have nothing to offer this world
nothing to say and no way to say it
but you can say it in three languages
you are more than the sum of what you consume
desire is not an occupation
you are alternately thrilled and desperate
skyhigh and fucked
let's stop praying for someone
to save us and start saving ourselves
let's stop this and start over
let's go out | let's keep going
this is your life | this is your fucking life
we need something to kill
the pain of all that nothing inside
quit whining you haven't done
anything wrong because frankly
you haven't done much of anything
someone's writing down your mistakes
someone's documenting your downfall

that pretty well sums me as a whole up. if you want to know more, e-mail me.
