About me

Gender Male
Location VA, United States
Introduction I am passionate about the arts and pop culture. I love films and music, I love having in-depth discussions about things most people would find trivial and pointless. I like to read, but I don't read anything life-altering (I love Orwell, Shakespeare, Asimov and Dickens, but generally when I read it's just something fun). I like watching television shows that play like films (HBO's Carnivale was/is my favorite show, Twin Peaks, Rome, Deadwood, and Heroes just to name a few) and I absolutely hate shows that drag themselves out just for the sake of dragging it out because its a TV show (Lost, I'm looking your way). Generally, when I sit down to relax, I'll put on a movie. Every once in a while I'll play a video game and get into it, but I can probably count on one hand the amount of games I've played through, not counting ol' school Nintendo games from when I was a kid.
