I am here for Dating, Serious Relationships, Friends and Networking

About Me

How can your really answer, "About Me". It is hard for us in general to look at ourselves from the outside and put down facts that we wish people to know about us.So I shall start with why am I here on MySpace, and it is for my friends. I spent a good deal of time in Grad school learning about weak bonds, and the five degrees of separation which connects us all. So I'm linking to people I know, or have known in the long lost past. I find that MySpace gives us a way to remind us of the weak bonds we have made over the years, and gives us the oh yeah I remember that person, I should say "hi" to them and see what's new I haven't talked to them for years.Unlike most people on here, I'm not here to just collect a bunch of profiles to be listed on my own, like I said I'm here to keep in contact with my friends, both old and new. As a soul that is lost at sea, this is one of the few ways I stay in touch with the world.I guess I should say a little something about my handle. Any of my close friends have heard the story of how I got the name The Count. Short version, it is the nick name I got my third year of undergrad, and it just stuck.As for my headline, for the most part I do feel like I'm lost at sea. Working 24-7 for a cruise line, you don't know what day it is. Ship life is like taking summer stock, a road house, being on tour, and running a convention center all rolled into a moving casino. It is a fun life for now, I do get to see places I would never go in my life, and I get to travel the world.

My Interests

I'm a gamer. Old School table top, for those who understand what that is. For those who are lost, I'm a roleplayer, second ed. AD&D started playing back in 89. Started playing the Palladium system my Senior year of High School; Rifts, Heroes. Played a little White Wolf in undergrad, mostly Vampire.I like to collect bladed weapons, mostly knives.Other than that, I like to have a good time with my friends.

I'd like to meet:

As I said in the about me section, I'm really here just to stay in contact with my friends. But should the right person come upon my profile, and like what they see I might as well list a little bit of who I would like to meet.
Yes, the big question, who am I looking for? Well I'm looking for someone smart, if I can't talk with you about complex ideas, then I will not have much interest in you. I'm looking for someone who shares a similar like for the things I do. Weapons, vampires, Gothic style, history, sci-fi, mythology, fantasy.
Did I say smart already. Yes, someone who can spell and write better than me, but doesn't mind the way I spell and write. Because I do like to have people check anything I write before I send it out, be it for a job, for submitting it for publication.
A female gamer would be ideal, but I know how hard a single female gamer is to find.

Music:

Classic Rock- Pink Floyd, The Who, BOC

Movies:

Don't have the space or time to list the over 100 DVDs I have, some are - Boondock Saints, Brotherhood of the Wolf, The Crow, Highlander, Holy Grail, Labyrinth, Love Actually, Spaceballs, Willow, Firefly, Serenity,

Television:

TV rots your brain.

Books:

Any of Terry Goodkind's The Sword of Truth.
Wizard's First Rule
Stone of Tears
Blood of the Fold
Temple of the Winds
Soul fo the Fire
Faith of the Fallen
The Pillars of Creation
Naked Empire
Debt of Bones
Chainfire
Phantom
Also have gotten into reading some of Orson Scott Card's books, The Worthing Saga, Enders Game, Enders Shadow.

Heroes:

Are we talking personal heroes, or just heroes in general. Because for me I would have to say that my heroes are those of us who make it in this world doing what they want to be doing. So many people these days are just trying to get by and are not having fun doing it. But those who have decided what they want out of life and have given it there all to get it, those are my heroes.
