About Me

I like music and computers. I like world affairs and animals, but hate reality tv shows and SUVs. Anyone who knows me thinks I'm weird, but they like me anyway. icq:4288368 aim:vrezula I've seen thousands of bands, mostly rock. That being said, if you see me out, and you yell at me, and it seems like I'm ignoring you, it's only because I'm constantly hearing about 18KHz. I am always pretty happy, and lots of people think I'm funny. I just love life. It ain't so bad, people. Laugh it up!

My Interests

live music, of course. Japan and its language, Thai, Indian, and Chinese food, computers, religions, people watching, chi gong, linguistics, movies and stuff. hmm... actually, all food. I love food. really. I get made fun of for it.

I'd like to meet:

Anybody interesting, who maybe I share some common interest with. People from other countries/cultures. People who can penpal with me in Japanese. People with big ideas.

Music:

Almost everything except opera and some jazz. I like rock and funk the most. Hip hop, punk, reggae, dancehall, trance, and pop the next most. Blues and some techno and some country after all that. As far as individual bands go - Candiria, The Riverboat Gamblers, Ted Leo, Refused, Tool, ... oh, there are hundreds. I mostly like the fast stuff, though.

Movies:

Ringu, LOTR, Office Space, Meet the Parents, Tampopo, anything with Vince Vaughn, anything by Zhou Xing Chi, anything scary, and anything super funny.

Television:

Not a big fan of the TV.

Books:

Too many to list. A few I would recommend are Noah's Flood, Snow Crash, House of Leaves, The Club Dumas, Eyes on the Prize, The Sound of Waves, An Hour Before Daylight, Soul on Ice, JSP Servlets and MySQL.

Heroes:

Albert Einstein, Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

So, what's with all the phone books this year? It's getting a little out of hand. Now, normally, I don't use the phone book that often. Maybe every 3 or 4 months, I have to look up a...

Okay, so I went to Japan again, and saw some more cool stuff there. Amongst those things were: An mp3 player that was just a little chrome cube, about an inch and a half on each side. I'm...

arcade that my friend Alex took me to

Something else I meant to tell people about - a 6 storey arcade in Kyoto that my friend showed me. For about $4/hour, you could go there and play unlimited arcade games (good ones, too!), shoot ...
