He's just this guy, ya' know?

About Me

What to say, what to say... OK, the basics: 5'10', 165lbs, brown eyes, shaved head, austere black clothing (usually), and I'm a triple fire sign (Leo Sun, Aries Rising and Sagittarius Moon). I'm a full time video game designer. I often go to goth/industrial/noise clubs, and have been for many many years now. I've lived around the world, and have been to *many* countries. I grew up in the Bay Area, but I've also lived in Las Vegas and Austin in years past. I'm loyal to a fault, and I value my friends more than anything else on the planet. I try to be as creative in everything I do, and I'm always looking to expand my frontiers. Oh, and I really love sushi! :D

My Interests

Lots of different thing, really. I'm willing to try new things all the time. Mostly, I'm into video games, movies, clubbing, partying, cooking, socializing, exploring, gaming, and staying healthy. Lately, I've been very much into working out at the gym, and planning on what I'm going to be doing with all of my time once the project at work is all done.
