Raymond's Interests
General
Main interests: movies, music, martial arts, video games, computing
Other activities I enjoy, although I don't do as much as I used to: Ten Pin Bowling, Cycling, Basketball, Badmington, Swimming. I like reading philosophy, having studied Plato, David Hume and Rene Descartes and Kant. Unfortunately, I have a memory like a sieve at times... so I tend to forget a lot of what I read.
Favourite comics: Garfield, Calvin and Hobbes, Beau Peep, Far Side.
I love playing the guitar, mostly metal music, and the piano/keyboards. I compose a lot of music, which has been used in short films, and a feature length documentary. I've recently created a full length electronic album and I'm currently working on a follow up to my demo album, for my band 'Diverz Palace', which I recorded and produced in 2001.
