The skills of an artist.

About Me

I am a huge dork/nerd/geek. I still play dungeons and dragons, watch anime, play online games, read graphic novels, read actual books just for fun not because it is required for work or school on many subjects including but not limited to ancient history and theoretical physics and consider Monty Python and the Quest for the Holy Grail to be one of the funniest movies ever. Now move along.

My Interests

Road trips, traveling abroad, reading, beer, enjoying life.

I'd like to meet:

Ramses II, Alexander, Jesus, Ghengis Khan, Julius Caesar, Archimedes, Albert Einstein, Edward Teller, J Robert Oppenheimer...

Music:

Lots and varied. Favorite bands are probably Dropkick Murphys, Social Distortion, NIN, Flogging Molly but my taste in music is actually very varied I just can't list everything I like.

Movies:

Current favorite is V for Vendetta, that movie kicked ass and had a great story, what more could you ask for? Movies I have enjoyed and am willing to (or have) seen twice or more include The Princess Bride, various Monty Python films, Fight Club, Better off Dead, One Crazy Summer, Anchorman, Old School, Pulp Fiction, The Wedding Singer,... oh and a bunch of Anime but not gonna list all the various titles.One film I enjoyed once through but don't want to see again would be Requiem for a Dream. It was a great movie but so depressing.

Television:

Heroes, Lost, The Office, 30 Rock, Scrubs, Smallville, The Science Channel, The History Channel, Food network.

Books:

Top three favorite books are Siddhartha by Herman Hesse, The Princess Bride by William Goldman and Hyperspace by Michio Kaku. Long list of others that are great also like Dune, 1984, Animal Farm, Of Mice and Men, Catcher in the Rye... also comics like anything by Neil Gaiman, The Watchmen, The Preacher, Rising Stars.Currently reading Parallel Worlds by Michio Kaku and Sybex 5th Edition CCNA book.

Heroes:

Siddhartha, The Silver Surfer, Pope John Paul II.

My thumb hurts
