My Interests

I'd like to meet:

I'd like to meet most anyone who has even one tiny thing in common with me really. I like being exposed to new things by people, so I don't expect to only be spoken to by clones of myself. I'm looking for any level of relationship with folks too. Acquaintance, friend, debate partner, whatever. I'm looking for it all so feel free to drop a line whatever your interests are.

A Perfect Circle, Nirvana, older Pearl Jam stuff, Nightwish, Tool, Lacuna Coil, Evanesence, Marilyn Manson, Dave Mattews Band, Norah Jones, Sublime, Green Day, Jack Off Jill, Billy Joel, The Dixie Chicks, Martina McBride, Brad Paisley, They Might Be Giants, Eminem, Frank Sinatra, Simon &amp;amp;amp; Garfunkel, The Platters, The Streets, Veruca Salt, Cake, Liz Phair, Kittie, Fiona Apple, System of a Down, Blink 182, Garbage, Me First and the Gimme Gimmes, Elastica, Hole, Jimmy Eat World, and many more...

Books:

Anything by John Douglas who was a criminal profiler for the FBI. Anything by R. A. Salvatore (though it's been a while since I read his stuff). Right now I'm reading Constantine's Sword. I'm also partway through Kushiel's Dart, which if you like fantasy and fetishes is a must-read. I am just about finished with The DaVince Code, which I started just so I could finally say "yes" when people ask if I've read it. Turns out it's fantastic. Also "Screw the Roses, Send Me the Thorns" is a great and fun read.

Heroes:

My father, Batman, John Douglas... hmmm.... I'll think of more later.

The Violence double standard

I have believed that video games are another medium for telling a story, just like books or movies, ever since we got out of the days of Pac-Man. As time has gone on, the stories video games hav...

Help! I'm a vulture!

Now before you jump to any conclusions, I don't go around eating road kill or anything. But apparently the way my neck curves, or rather, that way my giant head pulls my neck forward over my chest giv...

Jerry Falwell

I heard today that Jerry Falwell is dead. I can't see this as a tragedy for America, but my heart does go out to those who cared for the man. Jerry Falwell was perhaps the most well known and to...

Harry Potter

I just finished reading book six and all I can say without writing any spoilers here is HOLY CRAP! I never saw that coming, and I think the seventh book will have a very different feel to it tha...

Work, working out, wrestling and Sega

Work is madness right now and will likely be until May 5th when the First Hill store closes. We are having a sale and it is well and truly a madhouse unlike anything I have seen before in a...

Hi all, before I start this let me apologize because I am just a bit more than slightly intoxicated, and this is my second time typing this out, as the first time my computer decided it didn't like it...

Nostalgia

This last weekend I went back to Portland briefly because my good friend, Mandy, who used to live there was visiting from Florida. Leading up to the trip I wondered a bit how I would feel about...
