About Me

What's this? You really expect me to tell you everything about myself in a webform? Well, if I could then I would, but I can't so I won't, but if you can then do, because there must be a lot less to you.
I suppose I *could* be generous and list my favorite things in life. :) Prepare yourself for a book:
Music- Tool, APC, VNV Nation, Deftones, Danny Elfman (Oingo Boingo), B!Machine, Yokko Kanno (please marry me), DJ Tiesto, DJ Krush, The Roots, Yokomato Hime, Infected Mushroom, Dismantled, Delerium, Hyamie's Basement, Candlebox, oh God... Let's just say if it has emotion or a good musical sound I would probably love it, and if it has BOTH emotion and musical supremity, I've probably already heard it. :)
Games- My first real memory of games came from Chrono Trigger. (mmmmmmhhhhh....) Then along came Secret of Mana, then Secret of Evermore, then FF II, then FF III, then I got hopelessly addicted to these Squaresoft games (and their music by Yokko Kanno... mmmmmmmhhh...) Ever since It's been all about the RPGs with massloads of action and plot depth. God, do I sound geeky? Lol. As with music, I do hate limiting myself in any fashion.
Ideas-
The concept of Natural Selection is, unfortunately, no longer predominant today amongst Homo Sapiens. For those of you unfamiliar to the term, it basically means "Only the strong survive". Well, nowadays the strong (minded) simply live happier lives, while the weak (minded) must leech every particle of their possesion from other, more intelligent beings and sources. Not to say that there aren't good hearted half-wits out there, but the majority of people nowadays seem to be grumpy, closed-minded non-wits, following the crowd of sheep all around them. My IDEA is perfect: Remove safety tags from all dangerous/otherwise objects, and the problem will fix itself. Think if every time someone ... stoopid... bought a blowdryer, and wanted to save time by drying their hair BEFORE they got out of the tub. BZZZZZT! One less problem.
The concept of Spirituality confuses me more and more every time I even devote a single thought to it, simply because of what I define spirituality as: Exploration into the unknown, guided by emotions, actions, deep thoughts, and other unknown variables, each unknown making it even more difficult to comprehend. Not to mention that a lot of guiding emotions cannot even be described, but instead only felt by (what seems to be) the select few chosen to bear the weight of it all. *Pant* Ok I'm done now.

My Interests

Ahh, here is another interesting side to me. My 2 biggest interests are opposites.
1. Expression, in whatever form it may be. Creating music, art, physical extremity, conversation, swordplay, banter, so long as my little tiny voice can be heard by at least me.

2. Reservation, in many forms, constantly changing. I sit and think a lot, I sit and listen to music a lot, really this is not limited at all, so long as I am the only party involved and nobody hears my tiny little voice. Yarrr!

Of course we can't forget cats though. In fact, replace number 1 with cats.

I'd like to meet:

You.

The open minded, loving, caring, emotional, kind, soft, sweet, passionate being behind the mask you wear. Take off your mask, and I'll take mine off too.

Music:

Yes, and always. 8-)

Movies:

Ahh, I liked LOTR and Star Wars, Trainspotting and Requiem for a Dream, Radio, SLC Punk, err... Maybe I'm not much of a movie person. :)

Television:

Adult Swim is one of the few programs I view as "watchable" nowadays, with crap like the OC floating around you have to be careful.

Books:

I have yet to really go on my book-binge, so I'll save my favorite books for then.

Heroes:

My hero is anybody that can stand up for what they believe in, even if it means dying painfully. Someone that will sacrifice themselves for whom they love, or even for someone they don't. Someone who will fight and fight and fight until there is no air left in their lungs, then keeps fighting. Someone who sees the world completely objectively and can make unbiased life-changing decisions based on WISDOM, INTELLIGENCE, and EXPERIENCE, rather than desire. Someone who can stand up and lead people, whether it be 1 person or a nation, to a greater good. Someone who can help those with closed minds open their minds.
