About Me

I can't say I'm much for writing decent descriptions of myself and my interests, but I realize it is somewhat important for anyone who wants to read a random blog or profile and know who I am.Simply put, I'm a minorly accomplished dilettante with a wholly unhealthy love for extremely long conversations and RPGs of the video and non-video types to appease my massive inner geek. I have a great many interests, and most of which are only passingly expressed in an online medium. An online medium which I will undoubtedly neglect for extended periods of time.Oh, and I have an unhealthy love for Thai and Indian food, and clove cigarettes.

My Interests

anime, antiquity, art, astrology, bands, bartending, beaches, books, computers, digg, digital art, gaming, history, internet, lighthouses, liquor, manga, movies, music, painting, philosophy, poetry, politics, psychology, reading, religions, rpgs, science, sunsets, technology, TV, videogames, writingOh, and the divine art of Ming Doyle ( http://www.mingdoyle.com/blog , check it!)

Movies:

Range of action, anime, and pretty much anything you can throw at me, some with thought, some with mindless but stylized martial arts violence. I've also been digging the deeper dramas lately, which I suppose means I'm pretending to mature past the mental age of a 12 year old. Dammit.

My Blog

Late night introspection is the stuff of nightmares. Even when awake.

Sometimes I wonder. Other times I drink. Still other times I distract myself with the inane ten thousand things I can learn of through this overstimulating world we've embraced.Welcome to Act V. I hop...
