I am me. This crazy amalgamation of So Cal suburban pop culture. And I'm probably more like Pip then most would ever understand.

I am me. This crazy amalgamation of So Cal suburban pop culture. And I'm probably more like Pip then most would ever understand.
.. width="425" height="350" ..I'm all about traveling all over the world. From Mexico to Japan. Foriegn countries are nifty. The more extreme sports like rapid riding in a two man splash-yack, SCUBA diving at night, and paragliding (haven't paraglided yet; but will damn it!) really appeal to me. I swear I am a closet adrenaline junkie. I need a certain level of stress and excitement caused by the unknown- In all aspects of my life. I guess that's why I am constantly finding myself (by choice) in one uncomfortable and uncertain experience after another. Masochism? No- Life experience to the extreme? Definitely! I also like to rock clmib, boulder, camp, hike, play darts or pool (Or both at the same time if I can work it out), and pretend I am a monkey every now and then. I enjoy a good book both fictional or non. And I love saying "Denki ga suiteimas, demo uchi no naka ni daremo iimasen," in Nihongo (Japanese). It's a rough translation I figured out and literaly translates to, "The light is on, but no one is in the house." Yeah... randomness- I know. And don't expect that to make any sense to a native Japanese person. Hangin' with friends is always a plus. Deep, thought provoking conversations involving, society, culture, religion, computers, language, power structures, or philosophy is a big must for me in life. On a lighter side, random wit and obnoxiously bad puns are an obsesion of mine. Which is why I find I continually ask myself, "Where am I going and why am I in this hand basket?" I'm also a mild tech head. My computer is one of the only material possesions I own and care anything about. It died and now while I write on this temporary Best Buy pre-made box, the planning stages of the beast have begun. Estimated costs are around $6k and I can't wait to build her. Two NVidia Quadro's and an SLI bridge are just a peek at the performance and power I'm going to overclock and build. And of course... I am a karaoke junkie. I know, I know; but it is true. I am also an avid Final Fantasy Fan (it's not a porno non-geeks- It's a video game series... The best EVER).

Any book by Ayn Rand. I've read them all and some multiple times (The Fountainhead gets one read a year). The Alchemist and The Pilgrimage by Paulo Cohelo. All of Richard Bach's books; but especially Illusions. 1984 by Orwell- "Wake up! It's 1984. Wake up cause I've been here before." All of William Gibson's works rule; he's the father of cyberpunk. The Lensman series by E.E. Doc Smith- space opera at it's finest. 100 Years of Solitude by Gabriel Garcia Marquez. Anything Charles Dickens, especialy Great Expectations. Niel Gaiman's Sandman series and his novel Neverwhere, as well as his graphic short story The Dream Hunters. Starship Troopers by Heinlein. For non-fiction... The writings of Durkheim, Kuhn, Strauss, and Weber (with a little bit of Geertz and Hawkins mixed in for flava).
Howard Roark & Naruto!
