Candy apples and razor blades, little dead are soon in graves....
My name is Steve Filpansick.
I'm a professional body piercer; I've been piercing since November 1996.
I've attended Fakir Intensives, I've taken several classes through Health Educators (Anatomy, aftercare, infection control, etc...), I've atended 2 seminars given by Steve Haworth ("successful surface to surface piercing", and "successful genital beading"), I have bloodborne pathogens certification from 4 different organizations, and I've taken all of the "classes" at the APP conference 3 different years; I'm still trying to decide if I'm enough of an elitest dick to join. :)
I co-own CONSOLIDATED INK & STEEL in Flint MI [Est 1/99].
USELESS INFO:
I'm a diehard hot rodder; I have several cars: 1934 Ford 5 window coupe (Rat Rod), 1955 Chevy (High 11 second street car), 1962 Chevy II (High 10 second street car), 1963 Nova (gasser project), 1964 Impala SS (family cruiser), 1975 Nova (High 12 second street car). I'm addicted to the H.A.M.B.
In my down time at work I do custom leather work. I do a ton of custom belts, but I also do a bunch of all types of "punk rock" gear, and some custom bondage gear (restraints and such, I don't have a sewing machine for masks or clothing).
I like Punk Rock music (my screen name is the title of an Elvis Hitler song!), and I'm a big computer nerd.
I am a crazy gun fanatic and I spend a lot of my time preparing for the impending zombie attack.
I think that's about it!

So there's ANOTHER fucking bat in the house...
2009/05/26 23:49 and this one refuses to fly out the open door.
I'd really like to go to bed, but if that bat is still in here when my wife gets up for work, she's gonna FLIP!
2009/03/06 10:12 So, I suffer from migraines, and they get pretty severe, even making my eyesight go all funky... Well, about 3 weeks ago, I had one; but when the migraine went away, the vision in my left eye never recovered.
The following Monday I went to see my Dr, then she sent me to an eye Dr, who found that I had a clogged artery inside my eyeball; which was cutting off the bloodflow to my retina. He referred me to a retinal specialist, whom I went to see yesterday.
So... the retinal specialist did all of his tests, and then informed me that basically, I had a stroke, but in my eyeball instead of my brain. The loss of vision should be considered permanent; but like any stroke victim, there may be some recovery of function, possibly all the way up to 100%.
Also, my carotid arteries seem clear, so he has no idea where the plaque that caused this might have come from. Now I get to have a bunch of vascular tests done to try to figure out where the problem is...
I'm fucking 32 years old, and I have the knees of a 60 yr due to getting hit by a car, and then I'm having fucking strokes, which I shouldn't even have to THINK about for another 30 years.
I normally like to think of myself as something of an optimist, but the realist in me is getting pretty fucking depressed.
2008/11/07 12:20 While I normally use Xtube for my videos, I didn't think that you guys should get to know me THAT well, so I uploaded some videos to Youtube. :)
The new ones are various bits of my yard display this year.
The best one the catch the whole effect is attached below.
The video is really dark (and therefore grainy), but this is basically everything in operation (with the exception of the fog machines/chillers... so picture a nice sheet of low lying fog creeping through the grave yard as well as down the porch steps) shot from a Trick or Treater's point of view.
Also, the garbage can monster has a regular strobe light in it (with a red lens) , but apparently it's flash rate and the camera's frame rate aren't too compatible; it seems very inconsistent in the video.
