Ok look brain, I don't like you and you don't like me...

About Me

Hey, this is me, I do things, I work, I play and I rinse and repeat. I'd prefer to tell someone about myself in person or other means than just blabbing on.OH! I added new pictures finally. I have pictures of my place, my roommate, my relatives, and of the east coast. Oh, and not to mention my new toy. :) ENJOY!And now a video for your enjoyment.

My Interests

I am a history buff, I love talking about facts of life and just different philosophies. I have recently discovered research as a big thing and compiling data to come up with information. I'm a nerd, I know, but hey, intellectual curiousity got the best of me.

I'd like to meet:

Wow, so I haven't updated this in a while. I need to meet people in the Stamford/NY area because I am tired of sitting at home doing nothing on a saturday night. At least go driving somewhere.

Music:

NIN, Marilyn Manson, Bad Boy Bill, DJ Tiesto, Front Line Assembly, Night Wish, Linkin Park, Wumpscut, Switch Blade Symphony, VNV Nation, Apoptygma Berzerk, White Zombie, Metallica (their old stuff), Alice N Chains, Nietzer Ebb, Rammstein, Lacuna Coil, John Bishop, Dj Dan, Paul Oakenfold, Paul Van Dyk, Dave Ralph, Robert Miles, Tool, A Perfect Circle, DragonForce, Nightwish, Slipknot, The Cure, Basshunter, Metallica, old Pantera, Led Zepplin, Ozzy, Malice Mizer, Dir en Grey, Dimmu Borgir; basically anything that has a good beat to it, but mostly Techno, Industrial, hip-hop, rap, dark wave, EBM, House, Trance, rock, hard rock.. And much much more, except for country...

Movies:

Chronicles of Riddick, Van Wilder, Road Trip, Euro Trip, Animal House, Pi, 13th warrior, Kevin Smith movies, Momento, Dark City, Lost Highway, Blue Velvet, AVP and many more to come.

Evidently I've rediscovered how fun it is to read and since I've finished grad school in December of last year, I've read a total of 25 books, possibly more. The count keeps increasing.

Heroes:

A little bit of nostalgia mixed with home sickness

It's kind of ironic really.  I spent a lot of time talking about how much I hated San Diego and California in general but since being on the East Coast for about 7 months now, I miss it.  I ...
