I think, therefore I am. I think.

About Me

Hey all, my name is Joseph... not much to say really. I'm an overly open-minded, heavily opinionated, incredibly analytical person. So if you ignore that and never point it out to me, we'll get along just fine! I also display a facade of timidity, when in reality I'm analyzing your every action and reaction, deciding whether or not you are worth my time. If you're not, then the most you'll get out of me is a sly chuckle of acknowledgment. Which is why most of the time I'm a relatively quiet person around others. Yah... not too many people are worth the words that come out of this mouth.
Other than that blatant showing of imperiousness, I'm a pretty nice guy and I have a very solid perspective of justice and honor that I try to apply to my everyday life. I also have a beautiful and wonderful girlfriend who means the world to me and supports me in everything that I do!! I couldn't have ask for a better love and friendship!! I also work for a Bank and go to school part-time. That's pretty much me.
I've recently developed a passion for writing as well. I mean, I've always had a sort of knack for the art, but never really thought about making a possible career out of it. I used to write CD reviews for metal artists on my old webpage, The Legion of Lost Bards. If you ever accidentally come across the site, keep in mind that all my reviews are unedited so they are practically leaking with grammar and spelling errors. I plan on personally editing them one day to create a sort of portfolio of sorts. So as you most likely surmised, I've been aspiring a bit and decided to take a more serious stab at writing. I'm currently writing a book as well as a few short stories. Don't worry, you guys will be first to know once they are finished!
In the meantime, feel free to read my new column, It's a Gamesta's Paradise, in my blog!!

My Interests

I like basically 4 things in life... Music, Games, Anime, and Beer... those are my four material pleasures.
I've recentely started watching anime again! So far I've finished Utawarerumono, The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, and now currently working on Black Lagoon.
Been playing WoW(as always). But also alot of Bomberman Live for the XBLA!! Cannot wait for Puzzle Fighter!!

I'd like to meet:

It's a Gamesta's Paradise 1: Nintendo's Power

Music:

I'm a HUGE Prog-head. That said, I love Dream Theater, the various DT side projects like Liquid Tension Experiment, Mullmuzzler, Frameshift, Transatlantic, ect ect. I also love Rush, Kansas, Styx, Pain of Salvation, Porcupine Tree Ayreon, Spock's Beard, Shadow Gallery, and many more. Oh I'm also a huge metalhead. I enjoy mainly Power and Prog-power Metal, but I love all forms of metal aside from Nu and Mallcore/hardcore crap.

Movies:

I'm not a big movie enthusiast. I have a few favs, but I don't feel like mentioning them anyways. Like I said, not too keen on movies.

Television:

Best damn show on TV ever was Firefly the series. Heroes is pretty cool so far too. Even with all of its plot-holes.

Books:

I'm reading multiple books at the moment: Just finished The Christ Clone Trilogy: Acts of God(final book) by James BeauSeigneur. It was a tad disappointing, but somehow I knew that was going to happen. Now I'm back to reading The Well of Eternity (War of the Ancients Book 1) by Richard A. Knaak and Bram Stoker's Dracula because I've never read it before.

Heroes:

"Do you know what the definition of a hero is? -'Someone who gets other people killed.' "
