About Me

I enjoy music above nearly all things, but still manage to spend far more time than is socially healthy with my nose in a book. My tastes in hobbies dwell deeply in the realm of obscurity, both in variety and genre. In addition to that I also sketch, write, paint, and spend far too much time at karaoke bars here in Plattsburgh. Movies and TV are great, but come up short when compared to the rest.

My Interests

Books, movies, music and

I'd like to meet:

Anyone interesting and intelligent who is capable of holding their own in a conversation, intellectual or otherwise.

Music:

Rush, Iced Earth, Shadow Gallery, Symphony X, Billy Joel, Meat Loaf, Elton John, Sonata Arctica, Queensryche, Barenaked Ladies, numerous Broadway Musicals, and amongst many other things

Movies:

I'm willing to watch anything once. Most things I'm fully able to watch again and again without issue. Btw, if you can tell me where I got my headline, you're automatically awsome in my book.

Television:

If it's fun and interesting, I'm all about it

Books:

Anything by Clive Barker, J.K. Rowling, Robert E. Howard, Joeseph Campbe.. or H.P. Lovecraft, but this isn't remotely the extent of my interests. Nearly anything works for me.

Heroes:

There are many that inspire me, even if it's only for a moment. For the moment, I have to say my late Grandfather, Kenneth W. King Sr. Never has there been a more powerful and wonderful man. This world feels less without him.

Belief

Some people stay far away from the door If there's a chance of it opening up They hear a voice in the hall outside And hope that it just passes by Some people live with the fear of a touch And the ang...
