ahnyeunghaseo (on-young-hah-say-yo: congradz, you learned to say hi in Korean) spike here your very special friend ^_^ <—Korean smiley, get used to that. I’m originally a Chicagoan, don’t hold it against me. if you like Michael Jordan, the Cubs, hot dogs + deep dish pizza 🍕, do hold it against me. this is my personal homepage on the line (thank Vince Vaughn in the internship for that one). or as some back in the day would refer to as being a vanity page = E/N site. or simply my sweet everything + beautiful nothing website.

welcome y’all (I’m in NC now, so I get to say y’all its kinda fun actually!) to my little corner of cyberspace. welcome to all netizen travelers, space explorers, adventurers, cyberpunks, retro nerds, whatever. even if you crash landed here while nurfing, welcome. and do try to enjoy yourself, ya hear? <–they say this lots in the south.

Profile

spike (aka poetgambler) is a very cute, handsome, hot, hawt, sexy, mysterious (hello ladies! *sleazy laughter*), classy cat. a former urbanite from Chicago who moved to the state of Middle Earth (aka North Carolina) 5 months prior to the plandemic. he’s half Korean + half European. my mother has genetic lineage of Italian + Portuguese entwined in her double helix. formerly a pool hustler, web designer at Playboy interactive (online), product designer for As Seen On TV! and ex Walgreens website male model. though he doesn’t like talking about it much he’s a secret agent + investigative cyberjournalist. just doesn’t work for any intelligence agencies on account of there being none (intelligence). so he’s out there, in the vast going on adventures, secret missions and shit. armed only with his amazing wits, knowledge of kung fu + ninjitsu, stupid human tricks + Mac’Guyverism. in his spare time? books about poetry + art, training in exotic mail order ninja weapons, working out the bod, karaoke, and cooking (food snob here).

 

origin story: having grows up in the windy city, you get strangely tough, resilient, friendly, kind, and cruel all at the same time. well, its a small place, actually. like living in a big ass indoor mega mall of a bento box thats run by vampires, thieves, and assassins. I believe people call them democrats usually. I usually refer to them as parasites, like I do all politicians actually. besides hailing from a nasty, brutal cold shithole, I spent much time in libraries and in cafes, eventually graduating from SAIC with a degree in visual design (communications). then just got yanked into the wonderful, exhilarating world of IT lolz. which I found to be boring AF actually. I’d rather be surrounded by beautiful, modelesque chicks who look like professional assassins and say lots of office snark for no reason at all. like side characters in a side plot on As The World Turns or Days of Our Lives. later I decided to do creative and I did do that also. working as a flash developer for Playboy Online was extremely exhilarating and titillating in more ways that I can find words to describe. lots of T&A isn’t usually a creative nerd’s day to day subject matter, and I became a subject matter expert real quick.
