“War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. A man who has nothing which he is willing to fight for … is a miserable creature who has no chance of being free, unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself.” John Stuart Mill
I'm a little scattered across the board when it comes to what I like to do and am interested in: computers, reading (fantasy/sci fi/horror primarily), computer gaming (see previous for genres of games), role playing games, dancing, mixing music, chess, philosophy, martial arts, fencing, and acting.
Relatively new to me, a deep and intense interest in world events and politics has grown; I started to pay attention and care what was going on around the world and in our nation. It's something I never thought I'd follow, but I'm glad I do now.

Heroes
Anyone who holds the line for my freedom and ability to live as an American. I support our troops fully, and want our government to TAKE THE KID GLOVES OFF AND LET OUR SOLDIERS DO THEIR DAMN JOBS.
About me: There's not much, and yet everything to say about me. I'm a dichotomy in terms, and a living contradiction. I'm the nicest asshole you'll ever meet. I'll give you the shirt off of my back, and take it from you when you're not looking. I've got more friends than I know what to do with, all of them tried and true. It's been a long, bumpy road to get where I've arrived at, but I'm definitely glad to be here, finally.
Introductions aside, I'm just a Texas born and bred 31 year old child at heart who's been all over the country, and lived in more than a few places. I've hung my hat in Texas, Pennsylvania, Missouri and, for the longest stint to date, Atlanta, GA.
Who I'd like to meet: Hrm. Interesting people to talk with, mostly. Old friends and acquaintances that I've not spoken to in a long time are also sought by me, as are current friends I may have fallen out of recent touch with.
