I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

This is what I wrote on Friendster:"I'm very skeptic. In fact, I'm very skeptic of this whole Friendster thing. And my first question is, why? Do any of you actually have thousands of friends? Think about it: do you think you can remember and keep track of more than 250-300 personalities in your head? I know I wouldn't. Lucky are those who got me into this thing and whose names just happen to be on my page. Maybe I'll give those other 250 or so people connected to my friends a chance and befriend them. Those numbered from 250-500 I will probably consider them a distant acquaintance. For friend .500 and up, well, sorry, but I really couldn't care less about you. And for you people in the thousands, I'm completely indifferent to your existence.Well, have fun with Friendster everybody!"I think it still holds true for myspace... so why am I doing this... I don't know... wasting time...

My Interests

You can probably tell by all the other interests, no? Well, except for my obsession with the Street Fighter Series of games and the beautifil artwork that comes out of Capcom. It goes without saying that I am an uber geek about 2D fighting games, so I'm always up for playing any old school SNK game and of course, Guilty Gear... oh how could I forget: Shadow of the Colossus!

I'd like to meet:

Anyone who agrees with this statement: Thank God I'm an atheist!

Animation Festivals

Should style and mood take over story? It seems to me that animation festivals nowadays (or probably, that's the way they have always been) are more about whether a film has a certain "knack" to it. I...
