My interests lie mainly in music and I still somewhat dabble in some PC gaming.
A few brands of equipment that I use in my bass rig:
Ampeg SVT4PRO - Stereo
(2) 610HLF Cabinets - Full Range
Warwick Corvette ProLine 6-String
Nirvana black stain
Bartolini Pickups
Fender Standard J-Bass
Outfitted w/ Custom Warmouth Parts, Schaller Strap Locks, Grover Machines, and a Gotoh201B Bridge.
I'd like to meet:
"Your weak now because you own it, you posess, you have something that they can take. You remember how it was when you had nothing. You looked at the ones that had what you wanted and you felt strong in your need. Brave in your living surroundings, righteous in your desire for something different. Contemptuous of those that had exactly what you wanted.
You hated them because they looked weak and slightly scared. You circle the water hole and thought about closing in. Now you have it and you feel weak in your power to keep it. You feel desperate to make them see it because you won't let them take it away, because it's yours. You've never had to justify yourself or your posessions before. "I earned this", "I worked hard for what I've got", "I payed my dues", "I deserve this"; You say these things to yourself as the animals circle and wait. Shake your fists at the hyenas, chaise them away from your water hole, justify. See them all objectively, now you see that they want something, they want exactly what you got.
You can be obtuse, human becomes prey, human gets scared. You figure out that you have to be hard to keep it yours, you have to be cool, you have to kill them off just for looking. Leave the bodies by the water hole so the rest will see. Hang spent bullet casings from fishing line outside of all the windows of your house. Put up signs, "Please break in, I would love the opportunity to kill you legally." Let the fear turn into desperate anger, start seeing the differences in people, they all start looking suspicious. They all want.
The need never stops. Out there, someone is always needing, always hungry, always looking at you, checking your eyes for weakness, zeroing in on the vein in your neck as they circle the water hole and close in."
- Henry Rollins

Music:
I'm very open minded when it comes to music. Whether it be heavy, the classics, progressive, alternative, funk, etc. I can appreciate it for what it is and how much passion the artist has in the music.
Movies:
I have alot of favorites. But a few are Twelve Angry Men, One Flew Over the Kookoo's Nest, Dead Poet's Society, Boondock Saints, Good Will Hunting, , etc.
Television:
I watch alot of news, history channel, and food network. My television stays on the Discovery channel alot.
Books:
I admit I don't read as much as I should or would like to but I am a fan of George R. Martin, Steven King, Tolkien, etc.
Heroes:
People who dare to live their dreams in defiance of what anyone tells them they "should" be doing.
