Life... grok that! Now for a little more depth. I enjoy being in countries other than the United States, the people around the world are in my observations alot less self centered and possesionalist in nature than us silly Americans. Take that for what it's worth a few words on some random guys myspace site.
I enjoy listening to music, again not just American or English music. I've been known to listen to J-pop, J-rock, German rock, some French Pop? and even... Türk Rock and/or Türk Pop. Though the last ones may take having been in country to enjoy. It's my belief that all things must be given their chance, especially art. This tends to lead me to an eclectic and interesting collection of works.
Another thing that interests me or at the very least removes time from my life. World of Warcraft, I do indeed waste away far too many hours in this game (just look at my xfire stats, not the most obsessed person on earth mind you but still that's a few hours of play time YIKES!) OH well, it helps me remove myself from the annoying reality that is life. If you feel like seeing me online a) Use Xfire, b) play on Stormreaver: as a Horde toon. Don't expect me to do much for you though I'm not a hardcore player, I have more fun cliff jumping then raiding or shit. If it's something stupid I'll probably do it though.
Other various interest include watching Ice hockey and Formula One racing. This task is sometimes difficult to accomplish overseas and living off the military installation. I also enjoy scripting and other electronics related activities, I am pretty sure I have some random form of ADD so I NEVER FINISH ANYTHING. I script rather than 'program' because for me it's much less time intense to have the sand box already made for you (scripting) over having to build the sand box and the sand (programming.) Scripting is just much more hobbiest friendly, especially for someone who wastes time in a time sink such as WoW.
Well that's more than enough general information for you people, maybe I'll post a blog bio someday who knows.

I'd like to meet:
The people left behind, those that are once in a life time "friends" you never have the chance to ever meet again. A sad part of the human condition is leaving people behind and never being able to catch up again. Take this as advice from a military brat.
Misc BS:
What Age Will You Die?
Which Colossal Death Robot Are You?
Brought to you by Rum and Monkey
Music:
Too various to list all of my tastes so I'll stick with the main ones:Sebnem Ferah (Awesome Turkish rocker! Türk Rock is the win! Look her up if you don't believe me!,) Alizee (w00t for French Popstars!,) Megadeth, Type O Negative, System of A Down, Rammstein, Nine Inch Nails, The Pixies, Pink Floyd, The Who, Pearl Jam, The Pillows, Do As Infinity, Dream, Sakamoto Maaya, Hayashibara Megumi, Ayumi Hamasaki, Koda Kumi, TM Revolution, Guns N' Roses, and a few others probably most of the early 90's pop/rock scene and some of it's R&B scene as well...
Movies:
Don't watch em, well usually. Not watching movies on my own time gives me something to do while at "friends" houses or deployed!
Television:
History channel!
There's this really cool Japanese game show... where they will have a native English speaker say an English phrase and have the Japanese contestants try to write it down in English. You wouldn't believe some of the stuff they actually write! NOW THAT'S GOOD TV!
Books:
Stranger in a Strange Land, The Cat Who Walks Through Walls, Starship Troopers, Glory Road... starting to notice a theme here people? If not look up the titles hopefully you will see the pattern! Okay... enough from Robert A. Heinlein. Also like most fictions by Isaac Asimov and Arthur C. Clarke and even some of thier non-fiction. I also enjoy F. Scott Fitzgerald and Ernest Hemingway. I really enjoy "For Whom The Bell Tolls" damn sweet book. And the Great Gatsby is a classic as well... and let's use a quote to finish things off!
"Everyone Suspects himself of at least one of the
cardinal virtues, and this is mine: I am one of the few honest people that I have ever known."
F. Scott Fitzgerald (The Great Gatsby, ch. 3)
Heroes:
Those who give of themselves for others. No one more, no one less.
