Wow, what a song. I hate bands that invite a guest vocalist to make one amazing song on an otherwise completely different sounding/worse CD. The female vocalist is the former singer of The Gathering whom I much enjoy. --Love this song!

Books
I really haven't read much for pleasure since 6th grade. I'd much rather be tinkering with things. I do read a lot of lyrics. This might change, but for now, not enough time.

About me:
I'm an anti-stereotype. There are few categories that I exist in more than another. I'm equally as extroverted as introverted. I am equally as likely to use logic as intuition. I'm a very empathetic person which will adjust my personality/feelings based on who I am around and the situations I am in. I usually give a myriad of first impressions, kind of entertaining really.
I am innately driven to accomplish. This applies to school, my job, my friends/relationships, games/sports, etc, always looking to better myself. I try to be very well rounded and adaptable. I want to know a little about everything.
I live with the values I feel are lacking from our generation (as a majority). I have good morals and work hard. Many of my values came from being fortunate enough to grow up on a farm (no one ever picks me as a farm kid) working with a spectacular family. I put high value on trust, humbleness, honor, honesty, compassion, empathy, etc... While these are all very important and I try to express them, it seems that the first word that is always used to describe me is smart; though I really wish other words would be used first.
I plan for the future and am responsible. Part of my choosing this technical career was knowing that someday I may be a provider for a family. I also contemplated being a lawyer or clinical psychologist. I could easily be a career student feeding my constant curiosity.
The friendships/relationships I build are more than friendly faces. They are deep, meaningful, and purposeful. My empathy also plays a huge role in how I act with the people around me. I try very hard to make sure that I will not impact someone in a negative way. Much fulfillment can be found when being able to help someone or comfort them during a time of tragedy.
I also enjoy surprising people. I've never been a fan of Valentine's day because it's just about fulfilling an expectation. The best gifts come completely unexpected in a moment that will hopefully remain unforgettable. The look/smile on the person's face makes all the effort very much worthwhile.
I try, whenever possible, to make people laugh. My humor is usually a mixture of wit, sarcasm, and irony.
I look for deeper meaning in everything, nature, people, music, movies, etc... I enjoy the regular comedy as much as the regular person, but my favorite movies/music involve more meaningful things.
Who I'd like to meet: I really appreciate diversity, because of this, I like to meet many people. Mostly, I will look for introspective people to spark some good conversation. The people that have responded back make it well worth the time. I will randomly write long messages to random people to do just that. The web is a tool that allows us the opportunity to interact with people you never normally would.

Jason wants you to join their band in Rockstars, a game where you can form bands with your friends and play gigs, battle rival bands, and become famous on MySpace!
I don't usually sign on anymore. It takes up too much of my time, and there are just too many people who want to IM me everyday (not referring to you, but people I won't ever see again). Hey, what are you doing this weekend? Oh, I received my memory today. Your computer better be ready to be PWNED!!
