My Interests

WTF Comics

Grave Wisdom Guild

Myspace everquest group

I'd like to meet:

Ive met everyonewell not really, but it always seems my conversations with new people always have the phrase "oh do you know....", and my reply is usually yes

Music:

listen to just about everything. Since im stuck about 2.5 to 3 hours a day in my car (did i mention it was a dodge charger? once, twice? thirty billion times? ya get the feeling i love this car? but i digress) commuting, i have to listen to something, so i scroll the dial looking for something to listen to. So the music on this profile is going to change once every few days

Movies:

messin with sasquatch-pick-up

Television:

ok ill admit it, i'm into 'its always sunny in philadelphia'. Dark comedies run the risk of turning out too cute or too dark but somehow 'sunny' has so far walked the line perfectlyalso like arrested development, it was cancelled way too soon

Books:

I range all over the place, but in the last two years I have rediscovered the classics and have started going back through them
