My interests have a broad range. I enjoy and am interested in learning new things, especially politics, philosophy, psychology, history, and theology. (Though not necessarily in that order.)
I like a good debate with a person capable of it, and I HATE censorship. As for some of my hobbies, I'll list them here but sans music, movies, and videogames as they are addressed below in their own respective sections. I consider myself somewhat of an anime & manga otaku,
I love learning Japanese (the language and their culture).
I love art, especially surrealism like that of Salvador Dali and Chet Zar. As for my own artistic endeavors: I do pencil and ink sketches, as well as a few types of digital art, photo manipulation, and animation. I sporadically write stories and poetry and last but not least, I sing and play the drums. However, I am rarely (if ever) satisfied with anything I do and tend to be a perfectionist, which has lead to countless heretofore-unfinished projects. This in turn means I am overly secretive about my work. Damn... I've said too much already! I don't like watching or playing sports except for soccer and the occasional swim.
Music
I listen mostly to alternative rock. My favorite vocalist is Maynard James Keenan of my favorite bands Tool and A Perfect Circle.
I also like (not necessarily in perfect order) Rage Against the Machine,
Disturbed,
Stabbing Westward,
Marilyn Manson,
Chevelle,
System of a Down,
The Red Hot Chili Peppers,
Nirvana,
Metallica,
Linkin Park,
some old-school rap (when it was a socio-political movement and was driven by a need for innovation instead of "thug"- culture) such as Run-DMC
and Del tha Funkee Homosapien,
as well as some J-Pop, mostly Yoko Kanno
and the like, as well as the singer Origa.
There are many more that I've left unlisted too, as these are mostly just my general favorites.
Movies
My top movies of all-time are The Matrix Series,
Shaun of the Dead, Office Space, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind,
and many more including a plethora of anime titles such as Ghost in the Shell,
Appleseed, Spriggan, etc.
Television
My favorites range from re-runs of Seinfeld
and The X-Files,
to include programs like The Daily Show with Jon Stewart,
as well as it's spin-off, The Colbert Report,
and Family Guy
Videogames:
One of my all-time favorite pastimes is, without a shadow of a doubt, playing videogames. For now, I play all my games on console or handheld since I can't yet afford a gaming PC. My current setup consists of a PlayStation 2, XBox, GameCube, DreamCast, and my beloved handhelds, the PlayStation Portable and DS Lite. I have quite a few older systems in storage as well. Sadly, I haven't been able to go Next-Gen yet for finaRockncial reasons. As for genres, I like pretty much everything but sports and racing simulations. I happen to like my games to actually be fun to play. If I wanted to play sports or tweak gear-ratios on a car, I'd go out and do it, thank you very much. I love Role-Playing Games, strategy games, First Person Shooters, action, adventure, stealth, and fighting games.
My all-time favorite series are the Zeldas,
Metal Gears,
and Final Fantasys.
My favorite individual games are Chrono Trigger,
Deus Ex: The Conspiracy,
and Ninja Gaiden: Black.
Books
I love C.S. Lewis' Space Trilogy,
and pretty much anything by Philip K. Dick,
James Clavell,
Robin Cook,
or the Dalai Lama
as well as interesting textbooks, and magazines (Yes I know that they're not books, but I read many of them, so I thought I might as well mention them here.)
Heroes
My idols include Shiguru Miyamoto for his creative genious, talent, and innovation in the genre of interactive media,
Maynard James Keenan for his undeniable lyrical and vocal prowess,
Bill Hicks for his ground-breaking comedy and his defiance of the norm,
Bruce Lee for his amazing resilience, spirit, and determination,
and specific to MySpace,
This Asshat, for not taking shit from anyone and for having major cujones.
Activism:
These are some of the causes I am active in:
Politics and Religion:
Just so you know, I'm want the Truth. Oh, and if you want to know what I think of politics in America? Fuck 'em. ALL of them. It's a disgusting charade and I want it exposed as the mockery it is!
Before I continue any further, I would like to assert that I am neccesarily against jesus or against christians. I merely have a heavy distaste for opportunistic fundamentalists that use religion to further their own agenda and to hypnotize the unquestioning masses to do their bidding and to attempt to discredit anyone different from them. I now return you to your regularly scheduled blasphemy...
Random:
This is just for miscellaneous stuff. Some of it is somewhat idicative of my personality, beliefs, and views, while some is just for shits and giggles:
About me: So who exactly am I? What a deceptively complex question! Well, since reality is a rather pliable thing and identity no exception, I am many things to many people. The following is an encapsulation of what I personally see myself as, and what those who closest to me would say: I'm **inhale** an overly-ambitious, sometimes-pragmatic, oft-misunderstood, pseudo-intellectual contrarian with a twisted sense of humor. **exhale** To sum it up: I'm just an irregular guy! (^_^)
Who I'd like to meet: First and foremost, I am in an exclusive long-term relationship, with a wonderful woman who loves me back with all of her being. So needless to say, I am not on the market. (I can hear the collective sigh of relief from the female race, and it is deafening!). I'm here to network and to meet other free minded red pills who have been awakened and are not afraid to search for truth, to open their third eye, to think for themselves, and to question everything. I'd love to be able to meet all of my heroes (see below, right), even though I know some of them are no longer with us on this plane of existence, but nonetheless...
I’d also love to someday get to chill with Pyretta Blaze, the hottest friggin' model-type person out there!
(Just click on the banner to visit her profile and see her stuff):
I will also use this space to clarify who I do not want to meet which is anybody that is a willfully ignorant, dogmatic, manipulative, elitist, shallow, closed-minded asshat lacking in compassion and the fundamental ability to reason. If you fall under these categories then fuck off (and learn to swim) because you're unwelcome here. Don't spam me either. Also, I tend to post a lot of bulletins, and most are political in nature. Deal with it. I know I sound harsh here, but this is strictly a zero-moron zone.
And last but not least, I'd like to give a big shout out to Patient Leech since I used some of his images on my page. Thank you, man. You rock! :)
