My Interests

music... music... did i mention music? oh, and yaoi, hehe... bishounen, shonen ai, rowr.... but i need to give it mind-ripping soundtrack... you know..... ------------------------------------------------ *NOTE* i do NOT wish to receive bulletins, etc. bashing my country OR my president! if you have an opinion, that's fine, but you'd better have the proof to back it up! if you just desire to spout useless rhetoric, PLEASE DO NOT send me an add request or else take me off your "friends list", and i will do the same like i have been, just it would be nice if you could save me the trouble. i have also resigned from several groups as well. THANK YOU!

I'd like to meet:

paul reed smith, uli j. roth (again), michio kaku.also would kill to meet antonio vivaldi, nicolo paganini, farinelli (carlo broschi), and many others if we could dig them up. might as well add to that list stevie ray vaugahn, randy rhoades, and perhaps jimi hendrix, who incidentally, like me, also had synesthesia.in fact, it would be great to meet other people in real life who are synesthetes... who needs psychedelics when life is just one endless acid-trip??? just kidding, but it would be interesting how synesthesia shapes other people's lives. be fun to compare notes (now, there's an effective pun, lol. to be clear, music, and one other, among other things, most intensely affects my synesthesia). ;)

Music:

every note played on my prs guitars. combination classical/blues/death metal, which is the genre i tend toward, as i'd rather play than listen. i do like uli j. roth (obviously), itzak perlman, rabin, heifetz (24 caprices, mmm), shaham, carmignola, all the amazing guitarists there in my "top friends" (and then some...!), generally old-school metal (waaay too many to list!), opeth (damn, they're good, and they have damn good taste in guitars too! ;), srv (rip), music by antonio vivaldi (a synesthete's dream!), necrophagist (WOW!), old metallica/anthrax, some old-school punk, primus (remember them?), old floyd, some 70's & 80's stuff (bit of 60's too?), a lot of thrash/black/death metal (NOT all, but too many to list, and they HAVE to have some kind of TALENT, period!), etc. etc.... .. width="425" height="350" ..

Movies:

severe adhd/ can't sit still through a whole one.

Television:

basically just for background noise, BUT CAN NOT STAND reality shows, and ANYTIHNG off-key (vocal or instrument) can and will and does make me physically ill (a synesthete's nightmare!), geez, even the winners of these so-called "talent" carnivals rub me the wrong way. **bolts out of room screaming** oh, i forgot to add, i LOVE japanese programming! too bad there's not a whole lot where i live now. :'(

Books:

many, again adhd makes it hard to read in a straight line... sci-fi, fantasy, documentary (NOT biographical), reference (yes, you read that correctly), short stories (probably the easiest for me), kid's books and vice-versa ;), NO romance, blech!

Heroes:

antonio vivaldi, uli jon roth, nicolo paganini, larry elder, paul reed smith, michio kaku, leonardo da vinci (the person, not the conspiracy), michelangelo, salvadore dali, escher, giger, and other assorted artists, various violinists and a few guitarists (i am very critical and picky)... width="425" height="350" ..
