About Me

Artistic and usually funny but in a kind of dark way. Big on comic books and movies. I also collect edged weapons and do midieval combat although I'm a little rusty. But even with a little rust, I can still crack skulls. But that doesn't mean I'm an evil person. I believe in honor and try to live up to it's ideals. It's part of the reason behing the haircut and the reason I wear a chianmail bracelet that I wove myself, to remind me that honor is incredibly important.
I scored as The Amazing Spider-Man. After being bitten by a radioactive spider, Peter Parker was transformed from a nerdy high school student into New York's greatest hero. Peter enjoys the thrill of being a super hero, but he struggles with the burdens of leading a double life. He hopes someday to win the heart of his true love Mary Jane, the woman he's loved since before he even liked girls. Right now, he just wants to make it through college and pay his bills.

You scored as Miyamoto Musashi. You're considered a sword saint, whatever the fuck that is. You don't give two hoots what weapon or tact people come at you with, as your solution is a steady grip on a sharp blade and it tends to work.You're never going to be defeated in battle, but you are going to die of Cancer.

What Pseudo Historical Figure Best Suits You?
created with QuizFarm.com
There's a reason I rarely wear color and have decided against changing it. I heard this when I was a kid. Never got it out of my head. I know I'm not on the same level as this man, and I'll not likely have so profound an effect on the world. But I can follow a lead I believe in.

My Interests

Arts of all sorts. Comic books and medievil combat. And discussing whether cannibals should get a lesser sentance since it is less wasteful. Wait for the cowbell solo.

I'd like to meet:

Lot's of folks, I like talking to pretty much everyone.

Music:

And much, much more.

Movies:

Pretty much anything. Python is always great though.

Television:

Procedural dramas which include the original CSI, and criminal minds. Lots of discovery and history channel stuff but history channel has been very unhistorical of late, and I'm really missing the Sopranos right now bit digging Rome. Scrubs kicks all sorts of ass.

Books:

Lots of different comic books including the Watchmen and multiple Spider-Man titles. I really loved the Hitchiker's Guide books, The Old Man and the Sea is a favorite and lots of history and science.No reason for this to be here, but I like it so here it is. We'll just pretend it's because Stewie stands up for proper English.

Heroes:

After Sept. 11 I wrote a column for the paper I work at where I talked about all those heroic acts that we'd never hear about. The folks who passed away in that horror, but in their last moments, made life easier for someone else. There's heroes like that all around us every day. They're my heroes.Whether you like country music or not, check out this video.

Playing around I guess

A deviantArt pal models, and had a photo that I thought was funny as all get out. She was modeling nude in a back yard and had apparently stopped to smoke a cigarette. At some point she stood up and h...

It’s Power Girl damnit
