Subterranean's profile

My name is Andrew Kaster.



I live in a nice town (Dearborn) in a not so nice state (Michigan).


I’m 16 and I’m told that I present myself as more mature then other people my age. This may be because I can grow a beard or because I tend to share the same characteristics of a Pseudo-Intellectual.  


I mean, I can be very smart at times yet very ignorant at others. Just like anyone else.

I enjoy writing but I have not been writing well for very long. Only until up to a year ago did I start writing somewhat decently.

I’m influenced by many writers, lyricists, and poets. Some of which include Jim Morrison, Thom Yorke, Billy Corgan, Ray Bradbury, Anthony Burgess, and George Orwell.

I have a fascination with sociology, socialism, psychology, economics, history, government, communist/dystopian/totalitarian societies, and whatever makes me think.


What moves me more then anything else is music. All kinds of music, nothing modern though. I can’t stand turning on the radio and listening to another 3 minute tribute to crap.

I have many favorites and many musical influences but I will cut the list down to it’s simplest form and only list a few of my favorites and what is currently being played around my house.


Radiohead, The Doors, The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, The Smashing Pumpkins, Primus, Red Hot Chili peppers, Rush, John Coltrane, Mr. Bungle, Thom Yorke, Queens of the Stone Age, David Bowie, The Rolling Stones, The Pixies, The Who, Weezer, Beck, Iggy Pop and the Stooges, Dead Kennedys, Nine Inch Nails, Nirvana, Pink Floyd, DJ Shadow, Prince, and many others.

Those are just the most common bands on my play lists.


I enjoy many different video games as well. Yes, I am a gamer and I believe that Video Games have really become recognized as an art form now.

My favorites are Bioshock, Call of Duty 4, Half Life 2, Team Fortress 2, Civilization III, World of Warcraft, Tales of Symphonia, Metal Gear Solid 2, Resident Evil 4, Mass Effect, Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, Halo 3, System Shock, Super Mario Galaxies, and many others.


I have a wonderful girlfriend, a person named Julia. There is not much to say about her that cannot be said about other great relationships. We have been dating for almost 2 years and it has been great thus far.


I could go on and on with self indulgence but I would like to keep it somewhat simple. If this has interested you so far then continue reading.

In short, I am not the greatest writer but I wish to learn. Because any artist with a shred of talent knows that everything they do could always be better and will always be garbage when compared to the next best thing that they create.

Add me to your friends, message me, review my stuff or whatever. I enjoy talking to new people who share interests with me.
