About Me

I'm a run of the mill Otaku with Comic Geek tendencies. I play the occasional video game, and watch a lot of movies. I'm not a hipster and really dispise the modern art scene for it's idiotic vibe (a bunch of arches in Central Park is not art, Micheal Angelo was art) but do enjoy paintings. I've lightnened up some since I finished High School (because the only people from High School I see and talk to are the people I want too (read into that if you want). If you want to talk politics I'll give you a no bullshit liberal view. If you don't vote you don't deserve a say. Some people think I'm funny, others think I'm annoying, and some just don't get it (decide for yourself).

My Interests

Films, Comic Books, Anime/Manga, the fairer sex (i'm a guy, sue me), rock tunes, and polictics (ask anyone I went to school with). I wouldn't mind trying to cosplay but I have no talent for sewing, but if anyone needs a normal size guy part (I prefer not to cross dress cause I would make one horrible woman) I'd be go for it. Writing and finding someone to bounce ideas off of either over the net or in person. I would like to find someone who would like to draw a web comic or do a action filled 22 page comic book with me that we could submit to Dark Horse to see if they'd publish it.

I'd like to meet:

Hideaki Anno, Hayao Miyazaki, Satoshi Kon, Stan Lee, Alan Moore, Shin Takahashi (writer/artist of SAIKANO), Pedro Almodovar, Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu, Quentin Tarantino, Frank Miller, Koushun Takami, Brian K. Vaughn, Grant Morrison, I wish I could've met the late great Robert Altman, and others who are interesting people, I'd even like to talk to Osama, Saddam, and Charles Manson. Those would be some interesting talks. They aren't heroes but they'd be interesting.

Music:

Various Metal Bands (like Slipknot, System of a Down, and Mudvayne), Punk Bands (Green Day, Sex Pistols, Clash, Ramones, Pennywise, Bad Religion, The Descendents), Alt. Rock groups that catch my ear, Some "Olides" (Springsteen, Dylan, Seeger, etc.), and Some J-Rock bands like L'Arc En Ciel and Dir En Grey and the Pillows. There are a lot more bands but a lot of the time I hear a song and have no idea who the band is.

Movies:

The Top Ten 1. Grave of the Fireflies (it's a painful movie to watch but if you don't tear up watching this then you aren't a human being) 2. Princess Mononoke 3. Brokeback Mountain 4. Perfect Blue 5. A History of Violence 6. Seven Samurai 7. Elephant 8. Alien 3 (the David Fincher Director's Cut version is so good) 9. Neon Genesis Evangelion: The End of Evangelion 10. Nosferatu (the best vampire movie of the silent era) Honorable Mentions: The Crow, the Cowboy Bebop movie (Knockin on Heaven's Door), Good Night and Good Luck, Corpse Bride, The Lord of the Rings Trilogy (I count them as one movie), The New World (an excellent re-telling of Pocahontas from the serene master Malick), and Fulltime Killer. There are many more but I'm too lazy to write them all down.

Television:

The Shield, MXC, Aqua Teen Hunger Force, Fullmetal Alchemist, Saikano, Gundam Seed (and Destiny), Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex (and 2nd Gig), Cowboy Bebop, Neon Genesis Evangelion, Eureka 7, My-HiME, Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy, Fosters Home for Imaginary Friends, Prisno Break, Speedgrapher, The Venture Brothers, Ergo Proxy, Samurai 7, Jericho, Heores, and Wolf's Rain.

Seagle and Becky Cloonan Ultimate Line by Various Tietam Brown by Mick Foley Neverwhere by Neil Gaiman Vampire Hunter D series by Hideyuki Kikuchi Battle Royale (book and manga) by Koushun Takami & Masayuki Taguchi (manga writer/artist) 7 Days to Fame by Buddy Scalera Hellblazer by Denise Mina Book of Lost Souls by J. Michael Stracynski (I spelled it wrong probably) and Colleen Doran The Redwall Series by Brian Jacques All William Faulkner novels The Crow graphic novels by both J.O'Barr and James Vance/Alexander Maleev Cathcher in the Rye Anything by Mike Carey. Chugworth Academy (webcomic)

Heroes:

Stan Lee (to be that creative is amazing to me, Spider-man, Fantastic Four, the X-Men, Hulk, etc.) Frank Miller (pulp fiction is a thing I enjoy and he does it better then most) And People who have more courage then me. And those that can put up with all the bullshit I spew (steve, matt, scott, lauren, meghan, chavo, steve's family who will never bait me into another policitcal debate again, and so on and so forth).

V For Vandetta

The movie sucks, read the book it's a better thing to do with your time.  Instead of stupid action you get intricate, thought provoking (in the book you never know what V looks like (black, asian...

Job

I hate my job, it's unfulfilling and my boss (well two of them) really piss me off.  Yep, I'm an average American.
