My Interests

I like games, yup that's right, I'm a dork. Just to prove to you (ie. the reader)that I'm not saying that to be cool here's a little taste-
Ultima Online: Played 4 years.
Everquest: Played 2 years, quit when it got lame.
Anarchy Online: Played 2 years.
Dark Age of Camelot: Played 2 years, can't remember why I quit.
EVE Online: 6 months.
Currently playing Lineage 2 and Ragnarok Online. Now, now, I know what you're thinking, "Wow that's impressive! How can I be this l33t??". Well it's really pretty easy, first you have to give up your social life (you don't need that do you?), then you only need 2 more things...caffiene and caffiene. Just kick back and work on that palid computer tan, its the only light you're going to see for a while.I do have other non-lame interests as well! But nothing worth commenting on haha.

Music:

Metal: Korn, Dimmu Borgir, Tool, Metallica (pre-Black), ect.
ClassicalBeathovens 4,5,6th symphonies, anything by Verde, Wanger.
Jazz: Miles Davis
Pop: Dolce Triad, Yoko Ishida

Movies:

Too many to list (200+), so here's a condensed list:
Anime: Cowboy Bebop, Outlaw Star, Louie the Rune Soldier, Berserk, Robotech, Those Who Hunt Elves, Bubblegum Crisis 2040, Blue Seed, Chobit, Trigun, Samurai Deeper Kyo, and the list goes on and on...literally.
Martial Arts Fliks: Seven Samurai, Yojimbo, Ran, Volcano High, Musa: The Warrior, Dragon Inn, Fist of Legend(all Jet Li's work), Enter the dragon (other Bruce Lee films), Iron Monkey, and the list goes on...again literally.
Action: The Transporter, Equalibrium, The Last Samurai, The Returner, Replacement Killers, Count of MonteCristo, Gladiator, Mad Max, and the list goes on...you get the point.
There's way more than what I have listed here, these are just a few that I can think of offhand that I think are worth the merit. Mabey when I get really bored I'll list them all.

Television:

Don't have TV, got rid of it...but when I did have it this is what I like to watch-
The History Channel: Actually I didn't really watch all that much on the History channel, but I did randomly flip it over to that too see if it was another show about the WWII. It's crazy how much of their programming is devoted to it.
G4/Tech TV: By far the most entertaining programs... Snuggy Dove 1z l33t n3wb!!! |3o\/\/ D0wN!!! ...sorry bout that.
The Science Channel: Suprisingly interesting programs, could just sit for hours and watch. You never know when you might need to know how a nuclear reactor works or how to make glass from sand and a sparkler.

Books:

Haven't really been reading a lot lately, tend to have to be in the mood for it. Some books that I've enjoyed though would be David Eddings "The Elenium", Frank Herbert's "Dune", The Blades of Tyshalle, and The Eternal Champion.
Mostly in the last year or so, I've been reading more technical books about some of the programs I have for the comp. Dreamweaver, FlashMX, Photoshop ect.

Heroes:

The Predator. You've got to admit, he's good at what he does.
