About Me

I would like to learn shorthand stenography. It just seems cool. Then I want a stenographic keyboard for my PC. Then, if I could just learn to spell, I would be set!
As of 11/09/06, after going there waayy too many times, I am an official Chiptole MBA!
I greatly value intelligence but I can't spell for crap.
interests in no particular order: RC airplanes, Rally racing (WRC and RBR style), roller coasters, falling out of the sky, mountain biking, TX holdem, good cigars, nerdy computer stuff, kicking back and doing nothing, MST3K, becoming independently wealthy (world domination), paintball, weight training, developing new and cool things, volleyball, watching movies, photography, bowling, darts, pool, restoring old cars and general car tinkering, staying up late, taking out the trash.
I always think of cool stuff to write in here when I'm not here. By the time I get back, I never remember what the cool stuff was, so therefore I hardly ever update this. (HA! see- I thought of THAT while I was out earlier, and I remembered to put it here. Not that it is cool or anything~.)
Things I dislike: additude, stupidity, arrogance, obliviots, people who get in the right hand lane in front of you at a light and don't turn right, anime, trains, music or anything that makes noise on a myspace page, spam, Spam, MTV, days with only 24hs.
Radio-Shacks used to be "you have questions, we have answers", but now they are "you have questions, we have cell phones".

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

God in person, but not quite yet...

Music:

I have quite odd tasts. Included in that would not be anything remotely close to hip-hop and/or whatever MTV says to like this week. :)
I enjoy classical, some D&B, most any vocal trance and trance ambiance. The top10 "alternative" on the radio is ok, but would rather listen to artists like Gabriel & Dresden, Robert Miles, Chicane, 4 strings, BT, FSOL, Paul Oakenfold, Paul Van Dyk, Orbital, Crystal Method, Delerium, Blank & Jones, Hybrid, Holden & Thompson, Sasha & John Digweed, Conjure One, Rabbit in the Moon, djdoboy.. I could keep going for a while. :) I stream DI.FM 24/7.

Movies:

I love movies that mess with the audience-- draws them into situations and forces them to experience what the characters are experiencing. Good example would be Memento, Fight Club, and Lola Rennt.
comdies: Office Space, Super Troopers, and Dumb and Dumber.
Directors I seem to enjoy: Christopher Nolan, Darren Aronofsky, Guy Ritchie, David Fincher, and Quentin Tarantino.

Actors: Brad Pitt, Johnny Depp, Matt Dillon, Harrison Ford, Antonio Banderas.
Actresses: way too many to list here. :) :)

Television:

The Office, Scrubs, Dirty Jobs, Mythbusters. I dislike TV commercials. Remember when paying for cable TV meant no commercials? Viva la TCM!
I am proof that not everyone "loves Raymond". ;)
