About Me

Err....I'm here because Tronik made me. Not a lot to tell. Just a guy who digs movies, gaming, knowledge, cooking and girls. Not necessarily in that order.

My Interests

Roleplaying Games-chiefly Call of Cthulhu and Champions, but I also play 7th Sea, D+D, and others when it's interesting.Cooking-I love to cook and experiment with new recipies and styles.Hiking, Paintball, Skiing, Squash-when I have the time and/or money, I love these.History-I love to read up on history, generally I'm pretty far ranging but some favored areas are Republican Roman history, the Russian Revolution and Civil War, and military history in general.

I'd like to meet:

Not looking to meet anybody just right now, but if you're cool and dig what I dig, sure.

Music:

Let's see-I like funk, punk, early jazz, soul, movie soundtracks and anything else that strikes my fancy.Bands/Artists:The Clash, Velvet Underground, The New York Dolls, Iggy and the Stooges, The Dictators, Louis Jordan, Louis Armstrong, The White Stripes, The Ramones, The Jam, The Talking Heads, They Might Be Giants, David Bowie, Elvis Costello, Willy Hutch, James Brown

Movies:

Movies-all kinds but especially the horror, crime, film noir, kaiju, blaxploitation and sci-fi genres. I dig crappy movies to heckle, and then anything interesting or out of the ordinary or well made. I'm partial to foreign genre films from the past, and old movies in general. I am particularly fond of silent film. As far as directors go, I love Billy Wilder, John Ford, Dario Argento, Mario Bava, Suzuki Seijun, Akira Kurosowa, Wes Anderson, Martin Scorcese, Orson Welles, F.W.

Television:

Not a big tv watcher. I dig old 70's and early 80s anime series like Macross, Gatchaman, Gundam, Dr. Who, Cartoon Networks's Adult Swim titles, like Aqua Teen Hunger Force, Futurama, The Family Guy, Harvey Birdman, Simpsons and Seinfeld, Mr. Show, The Big O, Curb Your Enthusiasm, Ali G.

Books:

Books-I love crime novels, horror, classics and then whatever runs by me that seems interesting. Some favorite authors are Lovecraft, James M. Cain, Dashiell Hammet, Raymond Chandler, and Chester Himes.

Heroes:

My dad.Smedly Butler. Leon Trotsky. Orson Welles. Publius Clodius Pulcher. Dashiell Hammett. Roger Corman. Probably a lot of others I can't think of right now.
