Musik:
I enjoy plenty of music genres, but like everyone I have my favorites. I’ve been a rock fan since I was 9, and I can enjoy most forms of it. I listen to alot of heavy metal, soft rock, normal rock, some punkish stuff, and just whatever else. Lately I’ve been expanding into more undiscovered music, and more industrial. My top 5 bands are as follows: 1. Blind Guardian, 2. Rammstein, 3. Garbage, 4. Actionslacks, 5. VNV Nation . The 5th position seems to change alot, there are quite a few bands who come close to taking it. Some of my other band favorites include Bush, System of a Down, Blue Oyster Cult, Rage Against the Machine, and… well now that I’m thinkin bout it I like far to many bands, but oh well… maybe sometime I’ll list my CD case contents.

Movies/Television:
I’d say my main media pulls are Science Fiction, Romance movies, and comedies (mostly witty comedy). My favorite television show currently on the air is Gilmore Girls, but past shows have been all the Star Treks but the new one, and Xena (Xena was one of the greatest shows ever made!). My favorite actors are as follows: 1. John Cusack (He seems to be very popular in these parts) 2. Brad Pitt 3. Harrison Ford 4. Johnny Depp 5. Christian Slater (The quality Christian Slater IE Cuffs, Interview with a Vampire). I don’t really have top 5 movies list, but I do have 5 movies that I can watch more then any others, it is as follows : 1. Blade (The greatest vampire movie ever made, I can prove it), 2. Three to Tango (An excellent romantic comedy) 3. Star Trek VI: The Voyage Home (It’s in San Francisco, my favorite city, how can I not like it?) 4. Can’t Hardly Wait (She was eating the very same breakfast pastry!), 5. Grosse Point Blank (This movie is tied with High Fidelity on my list, both are roughly equal). As far as movies go, I see to many. I average 2-3 in the theatres each week, and I collect the ticket stubs I get from each movie, and now I have a huge stack of ticket stubs from such a hobbie. I love the theatre experience, and so I see movies every chance I get. (Thats how I ended up looking at the site of a certain Newcrime_X) . I’ve seen far to many movies, if you can think of it I’ll bet I’ve seen it, or if you suggest it I will see it. I especially love Vampire movies, they are the greatest .

General Info:
I recently acquired a motorcycle, a 2002 Kawasaki Nijna, and since she has become very dear to me. What a beautiful piece of machinery. I live in California as stated earlier, in the heart of tourist wine country. I work at a resteraunt called Dry Creek Kitchen, which is a Charlie Palmer resteraunt (one of several across the united states, he also owns and runs Aureole New York, Aureole Las Vegas, and a few more). I’m a big computer nerd, a big fan of fantasy books (I love reading). I have a Ps2 I like alot, and a recent special purchase of mine was the complete first season of Star Trek the Next Generation.

Hmmm, I must go, maybe I’ll add to this one later!

I just started reading the book Stranger in a Strangle Land by Robert A. Heinlien. I love this book to it’s very core. The first time I read this book was several years ago, in the very beggining of my freshmen year. It was the first book I read that branched out into the realm of real books, full of power and strong imagery. Before then I’d stuck with less intensive reading, and that book marked my voyage into the world of true written power. So here I am, reading it again, and feeling it fill me with such wonder over again. Heinlien is a master of science fiction, there never was, and never will be one better at it then he. If you’ve never taken the time to read one of his stories, do so. It will be worth your time and effort.

Ahh today, what a beautiful, beautiful, gorgeous, vivacious, warm, sunny, happy, bright, endearing friday. I didn’t go to school this morning because the sun was so lovely. I layed down on the grass in front of my house for several hours reading. I’ve discovered that there is a disctinct section in Stranger in a Strange Land that I never remembered. It involves the arch-angel Foster and angel Digby in the ‘afterlife’ (I think) discussing the happenings of the world they have left behind for the time. Very interesting, it added a little more depth to the story for me.

Last night I went with Cassidy to the mall, that glorious place of commercialism. I love and hate the mall, maybe sometime when I lack content in my life I’ll elaborate. I bought my good friend Derek his birthday present (He is now 18, his B-day was April 11th), and we eventually saw a movie at the Roxy, where friend Marcus joined us. We saw the movie National Lampoon’s: Van Wilder. It was an amusing film despite the abysmal reviews. It used quite a bit of shock imagery to disgust the crowd, but it was still witty in a humorous way. Ryan Reynolds did an excellent job as Van Wilder. He acted cool enough to fit the role, but he still held enough nerd in him to endear himself to me as a character without coming off as an idiot teen idol type character. The one thing that ruined the movie for me was Tara Reid. I really don’t like her at all. She comes across to me as a poor actor, and an even poorer person. Throughout the movie she was supposed to play a somewhat educated higher class college student, but she just wasn’t believable. Every mannerism she had made her seem dull, unintelligent, and awful. Her good looks aren’t even as good as everyone claims them to be. I’ll take a myriad of the other teen female actors to her anyday. I don’t think I’ll be seeing any movies just because her so called ‘talent’, or lack thereof, graces the titles.

Another special purchase was made by me yesterday. Not only was I able to reserve Star Trek: The Next Generation season 2 on DVD, but I also bought the debut (I think) album of the band called Thursday. They really are an excellent band, and I’m sad I missed them in concert a few weeks ago (the graced The Pheonix on a friday not long past). A comrade from work who goes by the alias of Austin introduced them to me, and invited me to the concert, but I stupidly declined and didn’t research them until the day of when it was to late. If you would like a taste of Thursday, download the song titled ‘Understanding in a Car Crash’. I love this song, it’s heavy, soft, melodic, and wonderful. As soon as I start the song up I can’t help but visualize the pavement painted with ‘blood and broken glass’.

So I hope everyone has a lovely friday, hopefully I’ll toss some fun into it shortly. But until my friends get out of school I think I’ll sit around on the computer for a bit. If anyone cares to say hi, My Aim, ICQ, Kazaa, MTG, and IRC are all active.
