Beethoven to Bauhaus | Sinatra to Skinny Puppy | AC/DC to Atari Teenage Riot | Hanoi Rocks to Harry Gregson-Williams | Public Enemy to Penis Flytrap | with most all and everything in between. But I require the piece(s) to be very moving and powerful. I like to feel the song, taste it, breath it... live and experience it.
I have decided that Siegfried's Funeral March from Wagner's die Gotterdammerung is what will be played at my funeral procession.
I have also been listenint to a lot of Dead Can Dance lately. Wonderful stuff.
Movies
Not much of a movie mogul, I admit. I do prefer classic chambara or Samurai films of the Kurosawa and Katsu styles. Tho lately, I've been watching any and everything that Harry Gregson-Williams has composed music for.
Television
There are three channels that are my mainstay: History Channel, G4 and SPEED. Also have grown to love the HBO series, "ROME".
Newly reborn "Protoculture Addict!"

Heroes
Heroes tend to come and go - But they all leave a lasting impression.
About me: Life isn't just about passing on your genes. We can leave behind much more than just DNA. Through speech, music, literature and movies... what we've seen, heard, felt ...anger, joy and sorrow... these are the things I will pass on.
That's what I live for. We need to pass the torch, and let our children read our messy and sad history by its light. We have all the magic of the digital age to do that with.
The human race will probably come to an end some time, and new species may rule over this planet. Earth may not be forever, but we still have the responsibility to leave what traces of life we can.
Hahah! Wait a minute, how come you don't have keg? Go get a keg! You need it along with your sweet stuff if you wanna go through the whole Metal Gear 4 game!
Went to see some WWE wrestling at my local convention center.
Wasn't as exciting as last time since there were less people I cared about but was made it up when "Hacksaw" Jim Dougin took on Ted "The Million Dollar Man" DiBiase's son but lost, Hardcore Holly and Rhodes' son defended and kept their Tag Team Belts, John Cena defeating JBL, and The King of Kings (Triple H) defeated Umaga and witnessing Hemlsy holding the title and the sledgehammer towards the corner section I was in. After that, we waited around on the back to see Superstars drive out. Everyone presumed that HHH was in the bus but the best drive out was when Cena burned out his tires before leaving (he's been rather connected to automobiles); everyone was coughing but it was worth it.
LOLz, I never thought of that...though sadely, I wont' have a midnight release here...*sigh* based on having 250 pre-ordered copies on GS stores, my city officially sucks.
