My interests have a broad range. I enjoy and am interested in learning new things, especially philosophy, psychology, history, politics, and theology. (Though not necessarily in that order.)
I like a good debate on everything from my thoughts on religion, politics, censorship and the like. As for some of my hobbies, I'll list them here but sans music, movies, and videogames as they are addressed below in their own respective sections. I consider myself somewhat of an anime & manga otaku,
I love learning Japanese (the language and their culture).
I love art, especially surrealism like that of Salvador Dali and Chet Zar. As for my own artistic endeavors: I do pencil and ink sketches, as well as a few types of digital art, photo manipulation, and animation. I sporadically write stories and poetry and last but not least, I sing and play the drums. However, I am rarely (if ever) satisfied with anything I do and tend to be a perfectionist, which has lead to countless heretofore-unfinished projects. This in turn means I am overly secretive about my work. Damn... I've said too much already! I don't like watching or playing sports except for soccer and the occasional swim.
First and foremost, I am in an exclusive long-term relationship, with a wonderful woman who loves me back with all of her being. So needless to say, I am not on the market. (I can hear the collective sigh of relief from the female race, and it is deafening!). I'm here to network and to meet other free minded red pills who have been awakened and are not afraid to search for truth, to open their third eye, to think for themselves, and to question everything. I'd love to be able to meet all of my heroes (see below, right), even though I know some of them are no longer with us on this plane of existence, but nonetheless...
I’d also love to someday get to chill with Pyretta Blaze, the hottest friggin' model-type person out there!
(Just click on the banner to visit her profile and see her stuff):
I listen mostly to alternative rock. My favorite vocalist is Maynard James Keenan of my favorite bands Tool and A Perfect Circle.
I also like (not necessarily in perfect order) Rage Against the Machine,
Disturbed,
Stabbing Westward,
Marilyn Manson,
Chevelle,
System of a Down,
The Red Hot Chili Peppers,
Nirvana,
Metallica,
Linkin Park,
some old-school rap (when it was a socio-political movement and was driven by a need for innovation instead of "thug"- culture) such as Run-DMC
and Del tha Funkee Homosapien,
as well as some J-Pop, mostly Yoko Kanno
and the like, as well as the singer Origa.
There are many more that I've left unlisted too, as these are mostly just my general favorites.
My top movies of all-time are The Matrix Series,
Shaun of the Dead,
Office Space,
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind,
and many more including a plethora of anime titles such as Ghost in the Shell,
Appleseed,
Spriggan,
etc.
My favorites range from re-runs of Seinfeld
and The X-Files,
to include programs like The Daily Show with Jon Stewart,
as well as it's spin-off, The Colbert Report,
and Family Guy
Videogames:
One of my all-time favorite pastimes is, without a shadow of a doubt, playing videogames. For now, I play all my games on console or handheld since I can't yet afford a gaming PC. My current setup consists of a PlayStation 2, XBox, GameCube, DreamCast, and my beloved handhelds, the PlayStation Portable and DS Lite. I have quite a few older systems in storage as well. Sadly, I haven't been able to go Next-Gen yet for finaRockncial reasons. As for genres, I like pretty much everything but sports and racing simulations. I happen to like my games to actually be fun to play. If I wanted to play sports or tweak gear-ratios on a car, I'd go out and do it, thank you very much. I love Role-Playing Games, strategy games, First Person Shooters, action, adventure, stealth, and fighting games.
My all-time favorite series are the Zeldas,
Metal Gears,
and Final Fantasys.
My favorite individual games are Chrono Trigger,
Deus Ex: The Conspiracy,
and Ninja Gaiden: Black.
I love C.S. Lewis' Space Trilogy,
and pretty much anything by Philip K. Dick,
James Clavell,
Robin Cook,
or the Dalai Lama
as well as interesting textbooks, and magazines (Yes I know that they're not books, but I read many of them, so I thought I might as well mention them here.)
My idols include Shiguru Miyamoto for his creative genious, talent, and innovation in the genre of interactive media,
Maynard James Keenan for his undeniable lyrical and vocal prowess,
Bill Hicks for his ground-breaking comedy and his defiance of the norm,
Bruce Lee for his amazing resilience, spirit, and determination,
and specific to MySpace,
This Asshat, for not taking shit from anyone and for having major cujones.
Activism:
These are some of the causes I am active in:
Politics and Religion:
Just so you know, I'm a liberal. Get over it. Oh, and if you want to know if I support the president or this war, I say: Get 'im Mr. Tiddles!
Before I continue any further, I would like to assert that I am not against Christ or against Chrsitians. I merely have a heavy distaste for opportunistic fundamentalists that use religion to further their own agenda and to hypnotize the unquestioning masses of organized religion to do their bidding. I now return you to your regularly scheduled blasphemy...
Random:
This is just for miscellaneous stuff. Some of it is somewhat idicative of my personality, beliefs, and views, while some is just for shits and giggles:
