About Me

I am not the last, for there are yet others in the world. I one of those who still remain from Gilead that was, stumbling down the path of the wolf towards the Tower. The Gunslingers they called us, but we were so much more. We were the pillars that supported the light of civilization in a world that was moving on, and has moved on. Only we are left.In other worlds than this,I'm just a guy trying to make sense out of the bloody world, a world I'm losing faith in day by day. I know that I can't make sense out of women either. So hey. I'm a college student in the mountains of North Carolina. I don't have a major yet, I'm trying to figure that out too. I love the theatre, as well as reading books of science fiction and fantasy. But I'm not a nerd or anything. Just talk to me sometime.

My Interests

Acting, Reading, Science Fiction, Star Wars, Roleplaying, surviving college, Probably some other stuff I can't think to list here.

I'd like to meet:

I'd like to meet all of my friends in a little hut on a hill that is infinately bigger on the inside than on the outside after feeling the sudden jerk of a train wreck beginning. (Thank you C.S. Lewis)I would also like to meet C.S. Lewis, but he's dead now.Ditto for Frank Herbert, J.R.R. Tolkien, and Isaac Asimov.Conversely, I would like to shake the hand of several main characters in thier books.Stephen King would also be cool, and I'd try to *not* talk to him about the Dark Tower.And finally, like Rincewind, I would like to find my alter-ego who is having all the good luck I've not been having. I'd like to meet him, preferrably with both swords in hand.

Music:

I listen to a lot of Styx and Blind Guardian. Also, I despise a lot of the music that's out there today. The idea of a group of people or pretty faces put out there who look good or are what people want to see, who don't even write, or want to write their own music disgusts me. I do know that some do. But I still hate the pretty pictures and teen icons the media sets up.I've just gotten my first CD by Demons & Wizards. I highly reccomend it, especially if you like Iced Earth or Blind Guardian. Its called 'Touched by the Crimson King'

Austria, I am Coming!

You know how people ask me 'Stephen, how are you?' and I always answer 'Eh, okay I guess, nothing special.' Or maybe I'll say that 'You know, if something really good happens, I'll let you know....
