It's a triple entendre. Louis Cipher is (firstly) the name I go under online so that I don't wreck my career using my real name. But the first reference is to Angel Heart (an awesome old Mickey Rourke flick) and the name of a character that De Niro plays in it (think about the pronunciation, not the spelling). The second is because I'm a cipher, which is in itself a reference to my interest in cryptography. The third is a reference to another meaning of cipher, which is zero.
Feel free to use the name, it's not like I own it or anything. My real world handle is Sickboy (like the old Social Distortion song : [link] ; since I always sport a black leather jacket and a switchblade...and generally have a girl under each arm, though that hasn't been going so great lately).

Cipher is an awesome last name to have. I'm a bit too young to know about any old movies and cryptography sounds technical. But that triple entendre is cool. Links to many things that you can identify yourself with. Only have a handful of social distortion but great band. Sir, you are a cool badass. Reminds me of a friend I have, but we live in different worlds... Well, thanks for the talk and I wish you good luck. (with the ladies as well, if that's what you'd like.)

You're never too young to know about good movies. There isn't such a generation gap these days. I watch a movie from the 50s and think "bullshit, that motherfucker wouldn't say that before he shot himself" or whatever. But we started being honest with ourselves back in the 70s so anything after that is fair game. And it's not that old a movie...1980something at the oldest. And cryptography is just applied math. But yeah, Cipher rocks. And so does Social D - I grew up on them and have seen them play at least 3 times.
To quote another Mickey Rourke line (from Barfly, which is about Charles Bukowski and I seriously suggest you check it out, as well as the book Hollywood which Bukowski wrote about the making of the movie...that's a trip, eh?) : "I can get a woman. For about 10 minutes." Rough quote. But that's about how long I can give a shit these days. People just aren't extreme enough lately.
Thank you, thank you very much. I'm here nightly...and twice on Saturdays. *dah-dum-crash*

I don't know or care what your kind is, to be honest. Every person (no matter who they are) gets one chance, and one chance only, with me. Do good with that and you'll be good in my book. I could tell you a lot of things about my history and past that would make you understand where I come from and why I represent the way I do. But it all boils down to loving my own people, not hating anyone else unless they give me a reason to. I can sit down and pray with any man or woman, so that should say something too.
We'll talk more in the future. I'm still in that jailhouse mentality, adjusting to giving a damn about people and things, because I was facing down 5 years TDC just a minute back. But as far as I'm concerned we're good. You approached me about what could have been an issue in a respectful manner. So therefore I return the respect.

Not what I expected, but just what I'd hoped. I was afraid that some of the terminologies you use in your writings had some hidden meanings that I was not able to understand. Being such a pedestrian woman, I was having a hard time imagining how a beautiful mind such yours could also harbor mindless hate. Thank you.

Nah, I'm anything but mindless. I think too damn much, and I've walked too many miles in my own shoes to not understand that another person's might not be all that damn pleasant. We'll talk more about what things mean and all that in the future. Beautiful mind? Sweetheart, there might be a lot above my neck, but ain't none of it beautiful...

Thank you, doll. I know it's a very late reply, but nonetheless it does mean something to me that you went out of your way to say this. Because I think you're the only person that actually told me that "happy birthday". So far - I haven't read my other posts. But I don't think one person told me that to my face, honestly.

I'm okay. Been better and been worse. I'm not really going to complain because it could've been worse. Right now I'm just givin' up some sleep to do some research and work on redoing some of my book. Who knew writing a book would be so difficult?... I've been working on this thing for about 5 years or so and its nowhere near finished.
Its good to hear from you again!
