I enjoy drumming, metal, watching the Yankees and reading comics way too fast, according to the mighty Jackhammer . I like to drink beer in the ‘Cuse with former toolbox and Deathstar inhabitants. Rock climbing, hang gliding, bow hunting, sword fighting and wolverine trapping all come natural to me. Well, maybe not the wolverine trapping. Those bastards are meaner than Gollum on a hit of Precious.
I'd like to meet:
Probably my favorite metal band ever - Cynic. Their groundbreaking 1993 disc, Focus, still stands the test of time as it mesmerizes w/ a unique blend of death, thrash, and jazz. They have recently reunited for a 2007 tour!! Click the link above for more info.
Music:
Although I am an expert in all things Metal, I do not dabble exclusively in that black abyss. I understand the value of diversity. Bands/artists I listen to: Coheed and Cambria , Nevermore , Dream Theater , 311 , Foo Fighters , Cryptopsy , Our Lady Peace , Arch Enemy , My Dying Bride , Frou Frou , Acceptance , Lacuna Coil , Rush , Portishead , Cynic , Aghora , Orbital , 30 Seconds to Mars , Mae , Strapping Young Lad and Jeff Buckley .
I can't say enough about my favorite album of 2006, Katatonia's, The Great Cold Distance. It's a work of melancholic, dark beauty.
Movies:
I always enjoy a good zombie flick, an historical epic and any movie that stars Ben Stiller, Jack Black, Will Ferrell, Vince Vaughn or Owen Wilson. They bring the funny. But if you are dying for specifics, in no particular order here are some of my faves: Donnie Darko, Better Off Dead, Braveheart, The Crow, Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy, Zoolander, Shaun of the Dead, Napoleon Dynamite.
Television:
Current: Battlestar Galactica, Lost, Doctor Who, Nip/Tuck, Weeds, The Wire, Dexter, Brotherhood, Smallville, Supernatural, 24
R.I.P.: Six Feet Under, Buffy, Angel, Firefly, Deadwood, Veronica Mars, Sopranos
Books:
A lot of people don't realize that comic books offer some of the best adult storytelling around. The Walking Dead and Y the Last Man are two of my favorite series. Click on the photos to find out what you're missing.
Heroes:
You stay classy San Diego.
