WE MADE IT! With only 1 minor complication we successfully trekked across the countryside and made our way to Council Bluffs. 1050+ miles under my belt!
I'm heavy into sci-fi. The CG special effects are getting better and better every year. I love it! I'm heavy into computers. I love Linux (Knoppix) but I haven't fully crossed over from Win yet. I'll get there. Martial arts is my number 1 passion aside from my family. I'm into tattoos. I'm up to 7 right now and itchin to get more. I see a backpiece in the future.
Anyone who loves martial arts !
I'll listen to just about anything (except country). I think I have Sting in my player right now, but my tastes are like a leaf on the wind, no tellin' what I'll be listening to tomorrow.
Anything action-packed or science fiction related. I don't have time for chick flicks (neither does my wife!)
Most anything playing on Sci Fi Friday at the Sci Fi Channel. You name it: Stargate SG-1 (in the 10th year now), Stargate Atlantis, Battlestar Galactica (old and new), Eureka, the original Star Trek series (or any ST series for that matter), Dr. Who, Farscape, Space: Above and Beyond, Gene Roddenberry's Earth: Final Conflict and/or Andromeda, The Firefly series/Serenity movie. Basically anything SF. Then of course there is UFC on Spike. I don't care much for the BS that they film at the bunk house. I do take notes on how they are training though. Good stuff.
Aside from Black Belt mag, Grappling mag, TapouT mag or Tae Kwon Do Times, I just finished reading The Fighter's Body: An Owner's Manual by L. W. Christensen. The last novel I read was Gates of Fire by Steven Pressfield.
Besides Sean Connery being the BEST, I would have to say Nietzsche, just for rattling the cages. 'Nuff said.
