Snarky hybrid of jock and geek.

About Me

I love computers, games, and anime just like any standard-issue dork, but I'm a huge sports fan, and probably not what you'd picture when you think of one. I've been bitten by the tech bug, and I'm always itching to build another computer or get involved with some new gadgetry. I have undying loyalty to my sports teams, the DALLAS STARS and the HOUSTON OILERS...er.....TENNESSEE TITANS!!!!! I am devoutly sardonic, but I try not to be to much of a downer. I was lucky enough to marry the greatest lady I've ever met. My wife and I do EVERYTHING together, so it's hard to tell if I'll be watching the Stars bludgeon their opponents to a slobbering pulp, or if I'll be scoping out this seasons newest cosmetics at the mall. Hey, she puts up with my hobbies, so I have to be fair.

My Interests

Sports. Music. (making it) Video Games. Movies. Books.

I'd like to meet:

Some cool couples to hang out with. A guy that likes sports and gaming, and a cool chick to be my wife's pal and go do all that girly stuff. You know, someone who digs mall shopping and Bed, Bath & Beyond. *cringes*

Music:

System of a Down, Metallica, Slayer, Sepultura, Pantera, Green Day, Evanescence, The Killers, Anime Soundtracks, Yanni (shut up), Enya, Squirrel Nut Zippers, The Strokes. Anything but Hip Hop.

Movies:

Big time sci-fi leanings here. Serenity being one of my all time faves.

Television:

Scrubs, any of the good HBO shows. Greg the Bunny, Firefly, the Tick (animated only please), Earthworm Jim.

Books:

Anything by Robert Jordan and most of Terry Goodkind. The Wheel of Time Series has claimed the bulk of my booktime. Totally dig J.K. Rowling and Charlaine Harris for some light Harry Potter / Sookie Stackhouse fluff.

Heroes:

My Mom and Dad. Both sets. ^^
