Told you I was a geek!
Television
Not home to watch much, but:
24 (It's the only one I videotape), CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, Cops, and The Biggest Loser - that's it. Everything else I watch usually gets cancelled or I come into so late that I've missed everything good. (Or, in a lot of cases, is on cable - which I hope to get someday.)
Books
Star Wars Saga (100+ books), Vampire Hunter D Novels, Vampire Chronicles(films did terrible injustice to "Queen of the Damned"), Alan Moore graphic novels (V For Vendetta, Watchmen), Sin City, HopScotch, Planet of the Apes (films did terrible injustice to this as well), War of the Worlds (Best adaptation: the original 1938 recordings), The Stand, Eye of the Dragon, Hannibal Lecter series (Red Dragon, Silence of the Lambs, Hannibal), The Hobbit, The Lord Of the Rings, Akira (Books much better than film), Do Androids Dream Electric Sheep? (aka Blade Runner), Edgar Allen Poe, Resident Evil series. (Oh, and various computer books and magazines to keep up.)
Heroes
All of my friends and family, the people who helped to shape and mold me into the person I am today. Thank you all!
I am a 31-year-old, Almost-400-lb male from Loves Park, IL, graduate from Harlem High School and a former student of Rock Valley College (looking to return this year, hopefully!). I do computer work - programming and graphics work for a local company. If you knew me in the past, don’t worry, nothing’s changed except how I may feel about you. If you don’t know me, you will soon enough.
I'd like to see some of my old friends again, so if you knew me, go ahead and contact me. If you don't know me, I'm cool with a lot of people, but I like hanging around geeks - musicians, computer nerds, writers, sci-fi and anime freaks, movie buffs, etc.
Hey Wayne! Im sorry I couldnt make it to your party. I hope you had a good time. Happy belated birthday!! This weekend was crazy and i was out in rockford once, with gas prices couldnt really afford to go out there again. Hope it was a good time.
