I'd like to meet:
I'm always up for "meeting" new people as well as keeping in touch with my buddies. As long as there's respect, we're cool. It would probably be best if we had things in common of course, namely similar musical tastes and outlooks on life.
However, I'm not the type of person that lives on the computer or accumulates friends for the sake of feeling popular. Some friends basically nagged me to get with the times and go on My Space. That's right...I jumped on a band wagon so sue me! :p
Anyway, that being said, don't get offended if I don't get to you right away. I'm not ignoring you, just living life. ALSO, IF I DON'T KNOW YOU PREVIOUSLY, SEND ME AN E-MAIL FIRST AND LET ME KNOW WHAT INTERESTED YOU.
Music:
Mostly hard rock/metal but I do venture into an eclectic range including Top 40, Classical, New age, R&B, some Country. I also have an appreciation for Jazz, Blues and World Music.
Fave bands/artists to name a few:Alice in Chains, Angel Dust, Anthrax, Armored Saint, Biohazard, Black Sabbath, Blind Guardian, Brainstorm, Conception, Dio, Dream Evil, Dream Theater, Drain STH, Epica, Eternal Flight, Fates Warning, Flotsam&Jetsam, Hammerfall, Helloween, Jag Panzer, classic Metallica, Ozzy, Pantera, Poisonblack, Primal Fear, Ville-era Sentenced, Stratovarius, Therion, Disturbed, Hoobastank, Linkin Park, Rage Against the Machine, Rob Zombie, recent Shadows Fall, Tool, TSO, Aerosmith, Bon Jovi, Def Leppard, GN'R, Queen, Quiet Riot, Skid Row, Van Halen, Winger, Mariah Carey, Josh Grobin, Whitney Houston, Loreena McKennitt, Sarah McLachlan, Shania Twain, classical movie scores like Batman, Lord of the Rings...
Immortal in Song
In Honor of Christopher Michael Oliva
April 3, 1998
Today is a day the Legions gather
To commemorate the birth of a legend.
A man who touched the hearts of many
In songs of now and then.
His music was a reflection
Of the passion that he breathed.
He taught us how to rage, to cry,
To join our hands, and to believe.
His fingers danced across
The strings he set ablaze.
A story came to life
In each note that he played.
He carved a world of mountain kings
And cities laid beneath.
We followed him through dungeons,
Gutters, thorns, and streets.
Yet through all the sonic wizardry,
Only a loyal few took notice.
In a world where "gimmick equals success"
Prevails over emotional ingenius.
It's in this dead world of corruption,
Filled with greed and dreams left forsaken,
That false prophets roam in triumph
And from us, heroes taken.
That autumn night
God embraced an angel early in the game.
The tears fell from all around
On an orchestra that wasn't the same.
The nightmare still haunts us now,
Questions left unanswered.
A warrior so filled with life
With a fate so undeserved.
Still, the Legions stand proud
For the spirit is immortal in song.
The legacy of Christopher Michael Oliva remains
Where the crowds are never gone.
-Still Believing

Movies:
Most comedy, suspense, horror, fantasy and action flicks. Lord of the Rings, the Alien saga, the original Star Wars trilogy, Terminator 1&2, the first Matrix, the first Blade, the Mummy, Halloween, Dark Crystal, Neverending Story, Monty Python, Mel Brooks, Police Academy...
Television:
The only TV I watch relgiously is VH1's Metal Mania, Friends, Seinfeld, Simpsons, Family Guy and Comedy Central Presents (stand up comedy).
Also love South Park, X-Files, Everybody Loves Raymond, the Marx Bros, the Jeffersons, and Sanford and Son. Will catch the occasional movie. I have a deep loathing for the whole reality TV format.
Books:
Not much of a reader of novels. Last one I read was Tolkien's Silmarillion because the band Blind Guardian made a concept album from it. Do enjoy Stephen King. I mostly read hard rock/metal mags.
Heroes:
Anyone who betters their life and helps/inspires others in honorable and respectable ways.
