I'm into a lot of things. I'm a very cultured person, very curious, and emotional when I let you in. Very funny, and quotably gifted. I'm extremely loyal and giving. I'm a lovers lover. I'm quite appealing if I might add. Not just appearance, but in essence. I'm an Eagle Scout. What can I say?

Movies
I definitely like movies of a different color. Slingblade [or anything w/ Billy Bob], Last of the Mohicans, My Left Foot, The Boxer, Star Wars, Trainspotting, KIDS, the gangster flicks [The Godfathers'] etc., Master Killer, The Shogun's Assassin. The Labyrinth, Dark Crystal, Krull, Dune, 2001: A space Odyssey, A clockwork Orange. Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, Ocean's 11, 12, 13. The Bond films with Sean, Roger, and a little Pierce sprinkled in there. Sin City, The Birds, For a few Dollars More, Shawshank Redemption, A Christmas Story, 8mm, Raising Arizona, Falling Down, Platoon, Apocalypse Now, Full Metal Jacket, Aeon Flux [the series], Evangelion, Gundam Wing, Ghost in The Shell, Akira, Fist of The Northstar, Ninja Scroll. Little Miss Sunshine, Hero, Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon. The Epic "studio" films of the 50's/60's: Spartacus, Ben Hur, The Ten Commandments, Lawrence of Arabia, Cleopatra. Munich, Syriana, Fat Girl, Waking Life. Indie flicks: La Moustache, Small Time Crooks, BORAT, El Cantante... are a must. I'll continue to add more as I go...
Television
I haven't been up on the tv. I find it more repulsive as I get older. I still watch my classics [Seinfeld, Friends, Simpson's, CSI, yadda, yadda, yadda] But, I'm too much into Grad school and being social a lot more than I care about television anymore.
Books
I read enough for me. Yet i want to continue to me everlasting search for knowledge.

About me:
The current situation is that I'm here in San Fran., in grad School. Mo' Money, Mo' debt. Will it ever end? But, I'm on a mission here. I've got some close comforts and a dream to catch.
I got stories for you. Pull up a chair, have a drink and relax. I'm quite the novel. Really, I'm a person who'll impact your life in a positive way. More unlike any person you'll ever meet. Yet, so close I'll feel like your blood. One of a kind... like you. But, like mE.
Who I'd like to meet:
Like minded individuals who are about motivating, improving, exploring, educating, laughing, and building. 1 of Graphic Design's preeminent pioneers[below].
