About Me

I am a complete wacko, but don't worry, I don't bite..... hard ;-)
I'm a born-again christian and I love progressive metal music. I'm also into movies, dvd, computers and hifi.

My Interests

Music, movies, hifi equipment, computers, home cinema, dvd, basically anything with buttons :-)

I'd like to meet:

Interesting people. I need to meet people with a taste of their own (as opposed to people who just accept what the fashion world throws at them) and a mind of their own. Most people have been brainwashed by today's society and they like it that way. They're acting like sheep. Baah!

Music:

Christian metal, like Deliverance, Tourniquet, Stryper, Sacred Warrior, you know, the classics.
I also used to be into progressive metal like Dream Theater and QueensrÃ¿che, but I threw that away because they made me feel all wrong about God. And if a band makes me choose between them and God, they always lose.
Now I'm trying to find more Christian progressive metalbands like Defyance, Dracma, Harmony, FÃ¡bio Rocha's Shining Star, Narnia, Pyramaze, Majestic Vanguard, DivineFire, David Wallimann, Seventh Avenue, Lightmare, Neal Morse (his Testimony is the best I've ever heard!), Rob Rock, Warlord, etc. Take a look at my website Onward Warriors to see what I've gathered so far.

Movies:

Sci-fi and fantasy, like Star Trek, Star Wars, Stargate (anything starting with Star will do), Labyrinth, Lord of the Rings, Back to the Future, Indiana Jones, Hulk, Spider-man (or any other superhero), Batman Begins, Jay & Silent Bob movies, Austin Powers (yeah baby!), the Goonies, the Matrix, the Passion of the Christ, The Visitation, Frequency, Jurassic Park, Forrest Gump, Apollo 13, Terminator, Tron, Rocketeer, Memento, Wargames, the Dark Crystal, St. Elmo's Fire, Jersey Girl, Galaxy Quest, Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure, The Fifth Element, The Abyss

Television:

Star Trek and spinoffs (all of them!)
Wonderfalls
Knight Rider
Battlestar Galactica (classic and 2004)
The A-Team
Firefly
Space:1999
The 4400
The 10th Kingdom
Taken
Doctor Who
Eureka
Smallville

Books:

The Holy Bible, Frank E. Peretti - This Present Darkness, Peter Scheele - Degeneratie, Rick Warren - Purpose-Driven Life, J.R.R. Tolkien - The Hobbit & The Lord of the Rings, C.S. Lewis - The Chronicles of Narnia, Angelo De Simone - Christian Rock, Friend or Foe?, Frank E. Peretti - The Wounded Spirit

Heroes:

Jesus Christ, Eric Clayton (Saviour Machine), Kent Hovind (a.k.a. Dr. Dino), Billy Graham, Bill Hybels, Rick Warren, Orlando Bottenbley, Anne v.d. Bijl, Willem Ouweneel, Henk Binnendijk, Peter Scheele, George Verwer, and last but not least: my late dad

Being friends with bands...

Providers...

To connect to the internet, I have a DSL connection from a provider called Filternet. The idea is very good, they don't let you surf to porn sites and illegal stuff. However, Filternet has gone a litt...
