About Me

About me...hmm...I hate writing shit about me...I don't know where to start...
I guess I'll start with my hobby: I collect video games. I know...pretty lame...but that's what I do. I have well over 500 different games for around 20 systems.
Besides that, I read a lot...mostly old classics (Gulliver's Travels, Moby Dick, Homer's Odyssey...pretty much anything really old). I also play M:TG with some buddies (yes, I'm a nerd...what of it?). I don't really do much with people...I'm kind of a hermit...not that I have a problem with it...I just don't care much for people.
I'm also a huge music buff. I'm primarily into metal, but I listen to everything from Black Sabbath to Beethoven. I figure, if it sounds good, and it has feeling, it's good. When I listen to a song, I can almost see what it is that an artist is trying to portray. Music can have a life of it's own, if it's played with passion. If it lacks that passion, then it's...well...it's mainstream radio...

What metal band are you?

Iced Earth
You are Iced Earth! Your music stems from classic heavy metal with slight thrash roots. You love melody in your music, and you definitely love adding the element of fantasy with reality when you write your songs. Rhythm speed, heaviness, and melody are what you're all about!

.. You scored as Wolverine. Wolverine is a loner, and a skilled fighter. He's got the hots for Jean Grey but a better fit for him would be Storm. He doesn't like to follow orders which pisses Cyclops off. He has terrible memories from the experimentation done on him at Weapon X. Even though he doesn't show it, he loves the X-Men. Powers: Fast healing and adamantium skeleton and claws.

I just recently started a site on Zoomshare to list my video games and music (and soon to be movie) collections. The link is here for anyone who's interested...Feedback is also appreciated (hint hint nudge nudge).
Now, lately I've been receiving a number of friend requests...some I've added, some I haven't. For the record, I AM NOT A NUMBER. Unless I know you, or have communicated with you in some form, YOU MUST SEND ME A MESSAGE OR I WILL NOT ADD YOU! If you can't at least show me you've read my profile, then why should I bother accepting you. Also, the request won't be denied. Why? Because maybe somewhere down the road, you may just take the time and send that message. Also, a notice to any bands that wish to add me: Messages are not required, but I won't add you until I look at your page. If I like what I hear on your player, then I will accept you. If not, it stays in limbo. Why? Because I've found that my tastes change, so I may wish to accept it later. The only reason I'm bothering to put this up is because so many people seem to be trying to boost their friend counter with my name. I'm not looking to boost mine, so I'm not going to bother adding without a reason.
And now, due to the overwhelming number of random add requests coming in without a message (obviously meaning you didn't read my profile) I now REQUIRE you to know me before you can ask for a friend request. If you don't know my email or last name, you won't be able to even send a friend request. I hate to have to do this, but stupid people made it necessary. So now if you want to add me you HAVE to send me a message first. Period.
Got bored and made a quiz.

Taking a cue from Ed the Sock, here's Mike's IDIOT MAIL!
