Television
G4 is my favorite channel. I also watch The History Channel, Cartoon Network *for Adult Swim*, ESPN when something interesting is on, local channels *Conan O'Brian is awesome*. Hell, I watch a bit of everything...I love The Food Network. I've recently started watching a lot of the stuff on Fuel TV. I really like Untracked and Adrenalina. I wish they'd pick up a paintball show though.
..
Books
I don't read much. When I do, it's either (auto)Biographies, books about War, or something really obscure...Or paintball magazines. I specifically like Stephen King's older works, Fallen Angels by Walter Dean Myers, and the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy Series.
OH MY FUCKING GOD! DON'T EVER READ THE BOOK "THEIR EYES WERE WATCHING GOD"!!! IT IS THE WORST BOOK I HAVE EVER READ! ...Halle Berry is in the movie though.

We ARE Virginia Tech!
Mike Paxson, Bea Youngs Paxson, Thomas "Troll" Taylor, Konstantin Federov, Chris LaSoya, Ollie Lang, Greg "Red" Hastings, Rocky Cagnoni, Brandon Short (Dude shot a guy 1-handed when he separated his shoulder, and continued to play after it. Beastly.) Any of those Pros out there playing Week after Week for low-pay. These are the Pros that know what it is to give 110%, to be sore after a practice, to go in hard, all in the name of the sport. My glass is raised to all those players. One day I hope I can stand next to you. Oh, and of course all the players in The Abyss!
About me: My name is Dustin von Rettig. Yes, that 'von' is really there...sort of. It was there when my family came to America. At some point, they dropped it. I'm taking it back because it sounds cool. Yes, this is a recent development.
I want to do two things when I grow up (and I'm running out of time). One is be a Chef. I love to cook, and I don't know where it came from. But I'm pretty damn good at it. The second is to be a Pro Paintball player. Since that's most likely not gonna happen, I'm leaning on the cooking. I do want to open a paintball field, because the only one in my area is pretty "ghetto".
Join The Abyss. We play paintball for one reason.
Because it's really fucking fun.
Here's a little survey thing to answer most other questions.

Hey man! Just wanted to let you know that our maxi-single "The Girl From the North" is finally done & up on myspace! Have a listen, won't ya, and we'd love to hear your thoughts!
the team did good over the weekend. we were the first all-female team to ever make it to Sundays so that was pretty cool. we went 6-2 in the prelims, and then lost in the quarter finals which sucked.
i'm not sure if i'll be on the chat tonight, i haven't been able to make it past 9pm since sunday night.
Nice. I walked up and read over his shoulder for a minute and realized what he was on, went away, and I was sitting in my room and a lightbulb clicked that you were Pirate. XD
