My main interests are: Crafting/Smithing, Art & Drawing, Airbrush, Anime, Martial Arts, Internet/Computers, Design, Playing/Making Music, Rennisance Fests, Muscle Cars, Exotics, Hot Rods, Import Cars, Skating, Paintball, Learning new things, History, Travel, Nature & Outdoors, Language, Swimming, Having Fun, Chilling, Etc.
Music
I like virtually every kind of music... Except the songs with nonsensical, arrogent, stupid, and downright dumb lyrics. I prefer Rock, foreign, techno & neo classical, general ambient music.
Movies
Too many to list, shelves full of them.
Hundreds and hundreds of anime series and titles.
Television
Dont watch TV really. Maybe some educational or comedy channels if I do. Channels I'm at least familiar with: Discovery, Animal Planet, History, Comedy Central, Cartoon Network, Speed Channel. I rarely catch my favorite shows on TV so I usualy get the DVD sets when they're out. These are: South Park, Family Guy, Beavis and Butthead, Smallville.
Books
Usualy like fantasy/adventure books. Same field as The Hobbit and Lord of the Rings.
Harry Potter was good. I liked the required reading through school. Also factual/educational books. Truth be told though, I've never been a big reader. I do love to read though, its problematic when I can't put a book down for like 12 hours at a time and get nothing done...
Heroes
Immigration Dude, Justice Guy, Drug Free Boy, Awesome Man - Stephen Lynch fans will get it.
All of this is in need of revision due to certain changes but for now I'll offer a quick update. I've returned to Texas and am pursuing a number of ambitions. Among them being starting a small business making things such as seen in my "My Creations" Album I've set up here on myspace. That is in efforts to fund myself through college so I can pursue my largest endeavor; That being a massive online game, of which I won't go into detail at the moment but I've been idly adding to the concepts for many years but have over the last year directed a significant focus towards it. Well, there's that update for anyone interested.
My real name is Samuel and at the present time I am (generally speaking) a craftsman dealing with medieval & fantasy armor, leather items, and costuming of various sorts. I tend to shift focus around as time rolls on and I generally have too many irons in the fire. But for now I'll be sticking with making cool stuff for my income and eventually take care of other ambitions along the way.
I'm aspiring to be a master of all trades and some of the things I'm learning now or along the way are blacksmithing, which entails weapon making (swords, axes, maces, etc.), chain mail, and plate armor, gun smithing later (historic/conceptional mostly) leatherworking (anything you can think of with leather (leather armor, boots/shoes, saddles, etc.) Tailoring/Costuming, prop making and other movie magic knowledge. Architecture (Modern and Victorian). Plus antique and furniture restoration. I want to be involved in movies (props, set work, armor, costuming) at some point and I have an increasing interest in music so I have started practicing my guitar & bass again and would like to take piano lessons soon.
Computers - I love building and modding computers and I've spent a fair bit of time with web design. www.GoblinNation.com is the community site for the Goblin King Fine Weapons and Armour (Our business at the Renaissance Festivals) www.GoblinKingForge.com is the commercial site for that and then there's [*edit-(Disabled)] which is an outdated personal site which I really need to redo. Oh and then there's SickSRT.com, of which I may never do anything.
I've spent some time modding games, lots of time playing games and my ultimate goal is to lead production on a very large MMORPG that I've been planning off and on for many years now.
Automotive - I love cars, trucks, & hot rods & exotics of all types. I'm also learning how to rebuild and restore old cars and will be learning body work and car audio I'm a very reasonable driver but I love going fast and want to compete in autocross and drifting once I've gained some real skill. I'll defiantly be competing in car shows and audio competitions when I get time to finish my truck.
Art - I discovered a natural talent for art when I was 17. I've never had an art class and don't really draw that much but whenever I get around to college I'll be taking as many art classes as I can in effort to become great like some of the many phenominal artists I've seen.
Martial Arts –It'd be nice to get in shape to pursue my interest in martial arts. In the past, I have been in various schools off and on most of my life, dabbling in jui jitsu, boxing, kick boxing, various American karate disciplines, and started some basic UFC training which was short lived. Not that I would boast being good, but it's something I do enjoy. Also very enjoyable are various forms of swordplay which I would like to learn as well.
Anime - If your into anime, your A-OK in my book. I can never get enough, you name it, I've probably seen it. Never ending piles of anime on DVDs and just as much on my computer.
Music - I love listening to a very wide range of music. Some of my favorite genres are Rock & Hard Rock, Techno, Classical, Foreign,
I also have several instruments I try to play a bit as I have time. 2 Electric Guitar, Bass Guitar, 12 String, Piano & Synth, Drums and some other misc. stuff.
Theology - Well I must admit, the more I age, young though I am, the more interested I become in the various religions of the world. It's not always so easy telling people I am an atheist though because many theists dont understand what that even is and have misunderstandings of the concept but I am openly atheist and I warmly invite anyone to a logical debate or challenge concerning the matter. The persuit of knowledge is important to me, and I've never learned anything from an agreement so don't be shy.
Granted, most of the above details my interests but you can deduce a bit of my personality from it. I'll add some more later but if you have some similar interests you should make contact with me.
Some of my creations.
Who I'd like to meet: Richard Dawkins, Christopher Hitchens, Sam Harris, James Randy, Daniel Dennet, George Carlin, Weird Al, Jack Black, Matt Stone, Trey Parker, Robin Williams, Penn & Teller
