I love communication. In any form. Language, thought, touch, etc. I wouldn't necessarily put one form of communication over any other, but one I'm constantly working on (therefore it being more prevalent) is language. I may not always speak a given language, but it's more of the understanding that I'm here for. I'm currently fluent in English, Middle English and (on a good day) German and am currently working (still) on my Russian, Polish, Italian, Swedish, Finnish, Old English, and Old German. I think it would be fun to learn Arabic, Farsi, Urdu, and/or possibly another non-latin language, but with the limited time I have, I don't know if I'll be able to set aside adequate time for this 'hobby'.
I enjoy athletics. I used to run all the time. Or bike. I've not much time for that anymore. I was in soccer for three years, football for eleven years, wrestling for four years, and track for four years. I love to wear myself out, and I love the feeling of being somewhat sore. I am rather inactive now, and it bothers me to no end.
I write all the time. Think of a type of writing. You got it? I've done it. I've written poems, songs, novels (one of which is half-published on this site), and almost anything you can think of. It's fun. I'm published, too, which is cool.
I am also a graphics artist for my apparel company, wtapparel. It can be rather fun at times. I also do websites (for the aforementioned company, in which I am a senior partner).
And I like, in general, social life (which includes at it's most rudimentary level, all things Maria).
Oh, yeah, and quotes. You'll probably end up seeing a tonne of them on here before long (ex. here)...
And then there's this one thing. And by 'thing' I mean 'person'. And by 'person', I'm referring to Maria, who doesn't consume nearly as much of my life as I'd like... Stoopid work. Meh. She's amazing. And by 'amazing', I mean 'ammmaaaaazzing'!
Music
I enjoy many types of music, with few exceptions. Interesting and new sounds are awesome. Exceptions include Country. Rock is excellent, no matter the form. I'll go for a bit of metal. There are some excellent older bands that many people forget about, too. At the moment, I have approximately 800 hours of music on my computer, with the majority of it coming from the following bands:
A Perfect Circle; AC/DC; Aerosmith; Aqualung; Audio Adrenaline; Bedouin Soundclash; Ben Folds; Black Sabbath; Blink 182; Chronic Future; Coheed and Cambria; Cradle of Filth; Dave Matthews Band; Earth, Wind, & Fire; Eisbrecher; Evanescence; Finger Eleven; Pink Floyd; Green Day; Jimi Hendrix; HIM; Incubus; Iron Maiden; Iva Nova; Keane; Die Krupps; KMFDM; Life House; Linkin Park; Dean Martin; Megadeth; Megaherz; Metallica; My Chemical Romance; Nickelback; Nirvana; Ome Henk; Outkast; Panic! At the Disco; Pantera; People in Planes; P.O.D.; Queen; Rammstein; The Rasmus; Santana; Scooter; Seeed; Frank Sinatra; Snow Patrol; Stereofuse; Switchfoot; System of a Down; Tenacious D; Third Eye Blind; Three Days Grace; Tool; Toten Hosen; Trans-Siberian Orchestra; Video Game Music!! (Esp. Zelda, FF, Silent Hill); Weezer; Bill Withers; Joachim Witt; Xavier Naidoo; Led Zeppelin... etc.
Favourite Band(s) At The Moment: -Bedouin Soundclash -Keane -Snow Patrol -Joachim Witt
Books
Hows about a gigantic list of randomly ordered books that I own (as I look at my bookshelf...):
Tom Clancy's *fill in the blank*, Lord of the Rings and other related references, Traps (a rather surprisingly good mystery/suspense about the FBI by Paul Lindsay), The Ultimate Hitchhiker's Guide (all wrapped up into a single hardback that almost looks like a friggin' bible...), quite a few books from Jeffry Deaver ("The Blue Nowhere" standing out most...), a handful of Greek and Roman reference books, Shakespeare, The Westing Game, After the First Death, Mein Kampf (a really good read, actually), various religious texts (in English, Old German, German, Russian, Greek, and Hebrew), my bi-monthly subscription to "Business Week" (Bi-monthly... odd), and various other books.
I totally have a library. As in, an entire library. I could give the Library of Congress a run for its money. Except not really. But I do have a crapload of books...
Suffice it to say, I like to read.

About me:
Good day, all. It seems I have been garnering quite the fan club recently. Simply because I'm so amazing. And not sarcastic. At all. Never. For serious.
As a note, my profile looks purdier in Opera 9. If you're using Internet Explorer, you might want to head over there now; there are quite a few reasons to switch...
Anyways. I have quite a few things going for me. For one, I have seriously some of the best and closest friends anyone could have. They're amazing. One in particular, who is more to me than I could ever have asked for.
I'm a rather nice guy. I say 'rather' because you don't want to get me angry. Get me mad, get me upset, that's cool. I have an excellent control over myself. But if you prove yourself an inadequate candidate for a human being, beware. Of course, unless you terribly screw me over, or one of my friends or loved ones, you don't have to worry about that. Very few people actually fall into this category.
You'll notice rather quickly that I've quite a few quirks about me. And, no, I'm not talking about my friends... I guess I could list a few of my abnormalities for you. Here goes nothing:
I use British spelling and grammar. You know, 'colour', 'connexion', 'realise', single quotes with punctuation to the outside, etc.
I have incorporated various accents into my speech, from places as local as the Midwest US, the North US (Wisconsin, Minnesota), Pennsylvania/New York, and also from places as exotic as Australia and Great Britain.
I treat language as an art. I attempt to pronounce everything as it should be said (with slight variations due to regional accents and dialects), even to the extent of pronouncing 'grey' and 'gray' in two separate ways. In fact, I can tell how you spell words (ones with various spellings, such as the aforementioned 'grey') by how you pronounce them. A great amount of my vocabulary comes from Australia and Great Britain as well.
Computers upset me. They are stupid - most of the time. When they're slow, I get all 'grr' and want to hurt them. But I don't.
I'm not sarcastic. Not at all. I'm the least sarcastic person I know. Except not really. I've been told that I have sarcasm almost down to a science. Which I take as a complement. Someone once said that sarcasm was the lowest form of humour. I think they were trying to be sarcastic. And funny. It didn't work. Besides, who could forget about the ever-repulsive puns?
I've a relatively mature sense of humour. Some people won't get it, and some more people won't get it right away.
I'm smart. I won't deny it. But I won't rub it in your face either. I'm quick. Sharp. Poignant. And I know when to turn myself on and off. But I'm not the smartest. I'm not the quickest. The sharpest. I'm not the best at anything, really. Meh. At least it keeps me humbled.
I love to talk. Debate. Write. Phrase words, thoughts, emotions in new and different ways. I stray from the path of imitators, not to be different, but because I am my own. I fit nobody else's style, really. And, probably, nobody else fits mine. But that's cool.
I'm sure there's a ton more. Meh. Maybe not. I'm not simple. That's for certain. Try to figure me out. Please. I dare you. And if you do, explain myself to me. That'd be great. I've been trying to figure me out for years now. I'd really appreciate it. Seriously...
Who I'd like to meet: Here we go. I'm interested to meet people that are intelligent. If you can maintain a conversation without making yourself look foolish by defending illogical arguments and have a maturity level closer to your age than your shoe-size, I might be willing to engage you in conversation...
If you meet me, and I'm not feeling well or have had a crappy day, I may spout off in German. In case of German spouting, there is no need to take shelter, or to break the glass on some emergency 'Germanicy Extinguisher'. And the spouting is not necessarily to see if you know German so much as to get you to shut up and/or go away. Unless it's planned. Or someone asks. Then I don't want people to shut up. Heck, I'll talk in German on a crappy day about wonderful stuff, but nobody knows it. *shrug* I'm weird. So schießt du mich...
Wh-oah. Hold on a minute Mr. Wager-er. You can't just comment on his page. This is VIP only. Crazy Kid. Thinkin' you all somethin'. When in fact I miss you Wager. Why I am writing about Wager on your wall is beyond me. What do I think this is? Face Book? Pssht.
Anyway. I love you a million times more than Wager loves you. So Why are you letting him comment on your wall? Hmm?
Dearest Kenneth: Cow. Chew-chew train. Elephant. Eskimo. Peanzooloo. That's a real word. Shut your face hole. =) But don't really. You owe me speaking German in an Australian accent. I almost wrote Sumalrian accent. That doesn't even make sense. How'd I do that? It's like almost three. The thunder won't let me sleep. That's how.
I'm on a Mission. To make the "M" Wall again. Maybe Mel will join in, maybe not. I own this wall. =)Kinda.
I will.
You used to think you were too cool for school. I almost put "fvgool" for school. I don't know what that means. But It sounds Russiany. Or Taco-ey. Which can't be good.
Can I max out on comments? Like is there a limit? If not I'm going to keep typing. Like seriously. Watch me. Type. Type. Type. Type. Type. Doh! I have copy and paste! Why did I type that? Oh well.
Guess what? I don't get stuff. I still don't get this whole German thing. We should have left for Vegas. We'd be like super married already. Or divorced. Yeah. Anyway. I just made fragment. In Russian Fragment makes you. I almost wrote Russina which makes me think of Russ in drag. ^^ Hehe.
I am horrible.
uoyevolI
Word to the bird. Yo. You know what I'm talking about. *cough* Ahem.
I want to skip. Or get some water. Or skip and drink water. That might be not easy. Ok. Operation Fill up Kenny's wall, kinda complete.

I just noticed dat your celebrity thing has Anthony Hopkins! AMAZING! How do you 53% look like someone and 54% look like someone else, and have a whole charty thing? That's more than 100%. I think someone forgot to add. Or out of 100 people they voted like 20 times, and that's illegal. Stupid people not being able to count. I flipped my phone open like a sword today, but I don't think it's a good idea to duel with it...But I has insurance!
