About Me



I am just a normal 34 year old guy with a upbeat(but not peppy) attitude toward life. I have a dry sarcastic sense of humor. I like to persue unusual hobbies, like drawing fractals or learning basic D'ni, which hold my interest for anywhere from a week to four months with reoccurring relapses occassionally after that. I work "where magic lives" as a puppeteer.

My Interests

I love movies, musical theater, art, theme parks, and books. I love to spend time with my friends hanging out at a coffee house or just anywhere we can talk. I'm an amateur baker and pastry chef.

Music:

Thomas Newman (movie score composer), Fiona Apple, show tunes, alternative rock, a cappella, some jazz, blues, country, and classical.

Movies:

American Beauty, The Color Purple, anything Pixar, Clue, Drop Dead Gorgeous, comedies, romantic comedies, action. . . and this

Television:

House, Bones, Law & Order (any version), Family Guy, Meerkat Manor, Simpsons.

Books:

Count of Monte Cristo, The Illiad and the Odyssey, The Lord of the Rings series (inc The Hobbit), The Four Agreements.

Heroes:

You are The Hierophant

Divine Wisdom. Manifestation. Explanation. Teaching.

All things relating to education, patience, help from superiors.The Hierophant is often considered to be a Guardian Angel.

The Hierophant's purpose is to bring the spiritual down to Earth. Where the High Priestess between her two pillars deals with realms beyond this Earth, the Hierophant (or High Priest) deals with worldly problems. He is well suited to do this because he strives to create harmony and peace in the midst of a crisis. The Hierophant's only problem is that he can be stubborn and hidebound. At his best, he is wise and soothing, at his worst, he is an unbending traditionalist.
