Television:

The roommates and I are too cheap to pay for cable but when I use to watch I'd watch CNN, Family Guy, Adult Swim stuff, Family Guy, The Simpsons, South Park, and ER. Recently TV has taken a turn towards crap, selling nothing but sex and a sham of reality where awkward situations are exploited sell more sex and violence. I find myself much more willing to watch a movie with a good plot, or read a book, or play a video game than sit and watch 15 minutes of commercials broken into 30 minutes of mind numbing, canned jokes. [/soap box]

Books:

The Wheel of Time series, The Sword of Truth Series, Wraeththu, Dracula, A Game of Thrones, First King of Shannara, Space Wolf, Grey Hunter, Code of the Samurai, The Return of Merlin, Mists of Avalon, Dune, Hitchikers Guide to the Galaxy, Lord of the Rings, Illiad, Odessy, The Republic, Thus Spake Zerathustra, The Leviathan, I'm interested in most fantasy, sci-fi, and Philosophy. I also am writing a short story with a cyber-punk/fantasy theme. If you'd like to read it just ask and I'd be more than willing to direct you to where I have it as long as you read it and give me CONSTRUCTIVE criticism.

Heroes:

My Father, Glenn "Bear" Davis, who passed away on March 12th, 2005. You taught me so much dad, and I need to know so much more. You are my only hero, the only man that taught me that being a man is more than being a guy; that being a man has more to do with honor and dignity than any super hero could. You will always be my Superman.
