About Me

Ask me anything you want - I don't have secrets.

My Interests

I have a huge variety of intersts including computer graphics, computer modeling, traditional and digital art, music (everything but country), movies, books, musical instruments, weight lifting, home decor, WWII, etc. If you are passionate about something, you probably have a good chance of getting me involved in it too.

I'd like to meet:

I believe that people become like the people they associate themselves with. If you hang out with assholes, chances are, you will become one too. That being said, I try to only associate myself with people I admire. If you are an open-minded, optimistic, respectful person who likes to laugh and have a good time - chances are, I would like to meet you! If you can hold a conversation - all the better. If you have many hobbies and interests like myself - bonus!I love to chat: yahoo messenger: [email protected] and aim messenger: garystrommen

Music:

Everything but country

Movies:

I am a huge movie buff. I enjoy watching just about every genre. I will watch anything once. I must warn you though, after taking video editing, screenwriting, and storyboarding classes - I often tear a movie down after seeing it and then I will build it back up.

Television:

I haven't had cable in 3+ years and I don't miss it. Although Smallville, Gilmore girls, and Southpark all kick ass. So does the history and discovery channels.

Books:

Favorite author: Anne Rice. I also enjoy Dan Brown, John Grisham, Michael Crichton, John Saul, Steve Alten, and Dean Koontz. I don't read during the school year and I haven't read much for pleasure lately although I literally have 30 books waiting for me after graduation this December! I have started to incorporate non-fiction in with the fiction though. I have been reading several books on history - WWII, Egyptians, and secret societies.

Heroes:

My heroes include a very close friend of mine and the guy I work with (I am leaving out names here on purpose). My friend is just one of the most moral people I have ever known and he has all of my respect. The guy I work with is the most dedicated and self motivated people I know although he is a work a holic.
