this webpage + it’s gorgeous, fun loving webmaster:
a cyberpunk from Chicago that you both well know + love: spike, aka username: poetgambler.
welcome netizen travelers, wayward souls, adventurers, free thinkers, and yeah. this is a personal niche homepage of a crazy chill cyberpunk from Chicago, spike on the line. offline in the really real world I’m simply a cute, shy, hot, hawt, unassuming, laid back, fun loving, witty, humble, well read, intellectual, mysterious (hello ladies *sleazy laughter*), artsy fartsy g33k of nature. do I still know kung fu? bet your ass I do! can I belt out karaoke like I’m David Hasslehoff? check. this is my little corner of the net. an adopted piece of the information superhighway. it’s a bit of a mash up 35% personal blog + 45% zine + 35% personal homepage. let me remind some of you because nowadays, people couldn’t intuit things naturally: this isn’t anti-social media. it’s cyberspace, and out here nobody can hear your screams (like in the movie Aliens starring Sigourney Weaver). if you want political correctness, the thought police, group think, and the Borg hive collective you sure as shit have crash landed on the wrong planet. go try facebook or Instagram (they can use some more whiny ass crybabies).
immaterium is a realm from the world of Warhammer universe. its not a real place or reality, but a fictitious plane of existence. if you’re insistent that its real and you’re from there well good luck with that. I found it made for a kick ass domain name so I decided to embrace that.
whats this about? I think I might’ve told you: it’s my homepage (which as we all know: vanity page). might be a dated term, and that’s because it is. but prior to the rise of anti-social media, everybody had at least some semblance of a presence. for me it was an Asian Avenue webpage, then a Xanga one, blogger, wordpress, movable type, yadda yadda. nowadays we tend to do things for monetization goals, for bragging about this or that, or pretending to be subject matter experts on all the things. now there’s just this world of fakery whereas the participants fake being real, legit, ‘authentic’ (lolz). which comes across as anything but. all I see are borg drones trying to be ‘different’ and not one with the hive collective. now we’re trying to devise new constructs in which to govern, control (manipulate), dictate and denigrate ourselves with (aka #AI).
profile
this is the webmaster, spike
spike here, your very special friend ^_^ yes, I happen to know kung fu, and am sensitive artist type with lots of skillz to pay them bills. see the employer pays me, and I pay the employer with said skills, that easy. and well I don’t always suffer fools gladly, and yes I’m seeking counseling for road rage at times. I happen to live in this stupid state with the worst drivers ever (North Carolina y’all, or as I like to call it Middle Earth). I’m formerly a Chicago native, pool hustler, pick up artist, sketch profiler for Chicago PD, Walgreens website male model, teeth model (I have A1’s baby), product designer for As Seen On TV! and web designer for Playboy interactive. Hey if I could? I’d be a bountyhunter chasing down people who stage their own deaths. that, or a tea farmer in the Ande’s mountains (also a prepper with a nuclear fallout shelter). I’m genetically a hybrid of Korean + Caucasian persuasion, in a double helix of retro geek meets cyberpunk aesthetic. while you’re here be sure to tag the guestbook, indulge in netiquette plz. try to be nice and if you can’t you can always send me hatemail. I know what you’re probably thinking and no I’m not in fact an international male model, thanks for thinking that.

personality:
chill, but can be a drama king (usually over granular details). know it all about a great many things, but strangely not a KIA in others. well traveled and health concious (I ought to be, I teach self defense as a side hustle). I’m sardonic and goofy, sometimes clumsy in terms of accidentally causing others to get into accidents.
an amalgam of the following characters I identify with: Al Bundy, Alex P. Keaton, Bill Murray, Ferris Bueller, Vince Vaughn, Bruce Lee, Mac’Guyver, The Vampire Lestat, Gordon Ramsay, Jack Tripper, Tony Almeida, Dr Gori,
origin story
I’m as originally stated a Chicago native, who summered either in Seoul or Lisbon where my parents are from. in Seoul, my dad has an apartment complex in the mountains he inherited, and probably forgotten he owned (local relatives takes care of it). in Lisbon, my mother has a villa and small vineyard. why they chose to live in a cold, frozen shithole like Chiraq? not quite clear. I always accused them of being spies. they’re disastrously diametrically opposed (my dad is a technical genius with high IQ, my mother a creative genius). while having more hobbies than most people do underwear, I had to get into martial arts early in life not b/c I was Asian but for self preservation. dangerous city, dangerous inhabitants. listen, I once kicked the crap out of 5 white drunken cubs fans for trying to mess with this. they learned not to f*ck with Asians after that. too bad their daddy didn’t teach them any better. I’m into art + design, writing, am a tech-priest (I heal the wounds of machines), and overall an investigative cyberjournalist on the web spying and investigating into things I probably shouldn’t.
