Viking heathen/Norse/Asatru culture, comic books, sci-fi, fantasy, metal, woodworking, art, science, politics, religion, and other assorted errata.

Music
Metal, folk, metal, classical, metal, punk, metal, movie soundtracks, nothing recent, though. I've hit that age where all the new stuff sounds too much like "noise." Hey! You kids! GET OFF MY LAWN!! Einherjer, Amon Amarth, Himinbjorg, are just a few of many things I listen to.
"Save the cheerleader, save the world." What do you mean, the season's over? Alton Brown is my master now... Hey, it was my wife who addicted me to "Project: Runway." Really. Damn you, Christian, for winning! You're a runny-nosed little punk with too much creativity! I'll show YOU "fierce...."
Books
Comics. Lots of comics. Too damn many comics. Also like David Eddings' work, and George R. R. Martin. Read a lot of stuff by Jesse Byock, 'cause he's probably THE U.S. authority on the Viking age and settlement-era Iceland.
Heroes
Theodore Roosevelt. Maurice Lamarche. Shadoe Stevens. Gene Simmons. Merv Griffin. Snakebite. The Dalai Lama. Sveinbjorn Beinteinsson. Batman. Nikola Tesla. Boutros Boutros Ghali. Adnan Khashoggi. Danny Kaye. William Powell. Lots of others.
About me: 30-something writer, artist (you can now see more of my stuff at www.themightygeek.deviantart.com/gallery), musician, fanboy geek. Somewhat talented, and still trying to make it. Trying to eke out a living in San Diego, but starting to think about trying my luck in another state. One where you can get a 3-bedroom house for under $459K. Which is just about anywhere other than Southern California.
Who I'd like to meet: People, generally. I'll talk to anyone.
Famous people/celebrities I'd like to meet: Cameron Diaz, Hugh Grant, Linda Carter (I've her to thank for my heterosexuality), Carrie Fisher (her, too), Lindsay Wagner (and the trifecta is complete), Stan Lee (no, we've moved past that joke, now, really), Stephen King, David Eddings, George RR Martin, George Romero, Tom Savini, George Lucas, Sam Raimi, and I'm sure there are dozens of others, but my mind has too little caffeine to continue...
Would have liked to have met Vincent Price, Nikola Tesla, George Reeves, William Powell and Myrna Loy.
Hey! You found me! (LOL) If you go to my photo albums and look in "Other Costumes" I'm not sure but... Isn't that you? As the Joker, right? And a really really young Sean. Ha!
