My Interests

Animation and visual effects, Recording and writing music, playing guitar, looking for the "next big thing" and don't even try to make that mean anyting naughty.

I'd like to meet:

Edward Van Halen is probably the only person alive who I would like to meet. others would be some seriously "dead" historical figures, not sure I could stand the smell though.

Music:

A careful observation of my music collection would reveal one thing - guitars and more guitars, with occaisional side ventures into sultry female voices. I call that medicinal music.

Movies:

Casablanca, Citizen Kane, Great Expectations, Mister Roberts, seeing another theme here? Older movies just always appealed to me more than most modern ones. Raiders of the Lost Ark and Superman I are notable exceptions.

Television:

Jonny Quest, The West Wing, Lost - in that order in life, importance and chronology

Books:

Everything by Frank Herbert, 1984, The Hobbit, Blink, The Tipping Point, Disney War - anything I was typically forced to read as I child I mostly rejected. But I'll come around.

Heroes:

Nana and Tata (that's mom and Dad to you non-Chamorus), gi familia *the rest of the Toves clan), my old college crew - the Protasio bros, Ray Guerrero and his wife 'Bobby' and the rest of that wacky crew.

Truancy

Last week I played hooky from work for a day and felt much better for it - until Tuesday, when I went home about 2 hours early. There are whole days where you realize that your time is better spent so...
