About Me


My Interests

I have varied interests. I'm a writer and pianist, and a lover of the arts. I enjoy working with HTML and designing web pages, as well as compiling and using open source software on a Linux platform. I'm a gamer with a strong affinity for all types of role-playing games. I also tend to thoroughly enjoy most games that involve any sort of beating, shooting, maiming, slaughtering, and massacre. I've just recently taken up painting with acrylics as a form of self-expression. It's a lot of fun and I have a ton to learn about it!

I'd like to meet:

My Juliet... my Cleopatra... my Christine Daae... That one great love of my life who will shatter my world with the beauty of a goddess, the voice of an angel, the inspiration of a muse, and the heart of a tigress...

Actually, I would really like to meet this girl. I think she would understand me.

Music:

One of my favorite songs is playing below: (If you hate it, just click the (|) button to hear another one of my favorites!)

I have eclectic tastes in music. I tend to gravitate towards pieces with an elegant beauty and a hint of sadness to them, regardless of genre. I'm always a sucker for good piano music! I enjoy the sound of today's new country and classic country and I have a soft spot in my heart for 80's music too - keytars and synths rock!!! ^_^ I enjoy listening to and singing along with music of all genres while driving around in my car and I'm a big fan of karaoke.

Movies:

I love movies! I've got HBO, Showtime, and Cinemax and a DVR so I can overload on movies at home. I usually end up recording more crap than I ever get around to watching! Some of my favs: The Lord of the Rings; Terminator 2; The Exorcist; Sin City; The Craft; Pulp Fiction; Kill Bill; Moulin Rouge; The Phantom of the Opera; The Count of Monte Cristo; Pirates of the Carribean; hell anything with Johnny Depp is good - Sleepy Hollow, From Hell, Blow, etc; A Beautiful Mind; OFFICE SPACE (yeah - that's me at my old job!); Spiderman 1 & 2; X-Men 1,2,&3

I love movies - I like to go see them in the theater too. I always get a box of Raisenettes and a medium root bear, but never popcorn... yeah, I know, I'm weird! *_~

Television:

House MD; Prison Break; Justice; Robot Chicken; Family Guy; Mind of Mencia; Dave Chapelle; Star Trek (Original Series, Next Gen); and of course - HBO baby!!! :-D

Books:

Some good ones - The Fall of the House of Leaves by Mark Z Danielewski ; The Hitchhikers' Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams (and sequels) ;Wicca: A Guide for the Solitary Practitioner by Scott Cunningham (an excellent author for books about paganism and magick) Screwtape Letters and The Chronicles of Narnia by C.S. Lewis; The Oz series by Frank Baum (especially The Patchwork Girl of Oz, Rinkitink in Oz, and The Land of Oz); A Brief History of Time and The Universe in a Nutshell by Stephen Hawking (the man is a friggin genius!)

Heroes:


My brother Paul.
He's in the Air Force, stationed in California, learning how to crack enemy codes in Arabic. That's some James Bond type of stuff right there, how cool is that??? But he's an outstanding individual with tons of drive and determination tempered by a gentle and caring spirit. We're two willows with roots that drink from the same river but who have grown in two very different directions.
Del Harvey , a PeeJ contributor.
She brought down the infamous fleet_captain_jaime_wolfe and many others. If you've watched the "To Catch a Predator" series on Dateline NBC, you've probably seen her. In my opinion, she's a superhero for the modern age of the internet and the hideous evil that stalks our children on cyberspace. Of course, it is impossible to tell how many real kids Del Harvey and her fellow contributors have saved, but their willingness to stand up and interject themselves between the predators and our kids is truly admirable.
Wendy O'Connell.
Wendy is another Perverted Justice contributor. Like Del, she isn't afraid to put herself out there in between America's kids and the vile scum that lurks on the net that would harm them. I thoroughly enjoy reading her busts because of the skillful character creation and her sarcastic footnotes that punctuate the logs. Go Wendy! :-D

Last night's dream - the "flesh chewers"

I had another dark and disturbing dream last night.  I dreamt I was driving to Louisiana.  I stopped to spend the night at a garage that was kind of like a hotel.  It was like a hotel i...
