I have met many people and wish to meet many more. There are people around the globe that I have met and most that I have not ever. I would wish to change this, but the budget prevents such things.The people I would love to meet that I can never would be Isaac Asimov, Arthur C. Clarke, Larry Niven, Albert Einstein, Isaac Newton, Johanus Kepler, Galileo Galilei, Aristotle, Socrates, Alexander the Great, Genghis Kahn (not at spear point, please), George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, Cleopatra of the Powhattan Tribe, Gandhi, The Dali Lama (one of them, anyway), Werner Heisenberg, Max Planck, Niels Bohr, Erwin Schrödinger, Wolfgang Pauli, Michael Faraday, Nikola Tesla, Stephen Hawking, Richard Feynman, Carl von Clausewitz, Satyendra Nath Bose, Peter Higgs, Jerry Pournelle, Michael A Stackpole, Aaron Allston... too many!Now, for the list of characters!Richard Cypher/Rahl, Nathan Rahl, Nicci, Kahlan Amnell, Luis Wu, Speaker to Animals, Shadow, Mr. Wednesday, Luke Skywalker, Anakin Skywalker, Darth..maybe not, Yoda, Obiwan Kenobi, Goku, Great Teacher Onizuka!... I definitely need to be able to think to write this out. More to come!Characters created by various:Quade Warren, Dominique, Abyss, Pyris, Sweetie_MACCO, Shaden, IceWarrior, Bluasphalt, Project K,I would love to have met and congregated with the Mayan, Aztec, Inca and Egyptian engineers. The contributions they made that will never be seen in the modern day world were awe inspiring. It is unfortunate that the legacy they left will never be fully discovered.
BT, Chicane, Led Zeppelin, Alice in Chains, Shinedown, Army of Anyone, Moonsorrow, Moonspell, Metallica, Pantera, Hans Zimmer, James Horner, Alan Silvestri, Oasis, STP, Fuel, Tantric, Filter, Rune, $50 Dynasty, DJ Tiesto, Paul Oakenfold, Paul Van Dyk, Airbase, Aramanja, Above and Beyond, Warp Brothers, Killswitch Engage, Incubus, Oasis, Infected Mushroom, Evanescence, Ferry Corsten, DJ Tiesto, Cold, Crossfade, Lost Prophets, Hoobastank, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, Chris Cornel, Nickelback, Armin Van Buuren, Atreyu, Hans Zimmer, James Horner, Black Sun Empire, Brainbug, Cheap Trick, White Snake, Hinder, Lacuna Coil, Our Lady Peace, Ozzy Osbourne, Pantera, Psychostick, Three Doors Down, more to come!This is amazing. Guitar is the only thing that got me into music to begin with...
Batman Begins, The Abyss, Star Wars (all of them... except for Attack of the Clones), Stranger than Fiction, all James Bond flicks, The Hunt for Red October, Crimson Tide, War of the Rings trilogy, War of the Worlds (old, new ain't too bad), Forest Gump, Cast Away, Crash, Star Trek, Ocean's Eleven...Anything clever and witty, with good points to be made and a feeling that after you watched it that you could improve your life in that hopeful kind of way.Some sad movies are required to keep you grounded in reality and to remind that you should appreciate all that you have despite the bad as hard as that may be sometimes.Funny movies are a must, but comedy has taken a strange direction... older classics with intelligent humor are gone, clearing the way for movies with stupid humor... the kind that leaves you so embarrassed for the character that you have to stop watching. To heck. With. That.
Do not watch TV, but this video is damned funny.
Sword of Truth series, all Arthur C. Clarke books, all Isaac Asimov books, all Larry Niven books, Forgotten Realms R.A. Salvatore books, too many more...
Dad, Batman, Spartan 117, Luis Wu, Drizzt Do'Urden, Flinx.
