In need of constant improvement


I love books. Not only do I love reading them (a thing I fear I do too slowly for as much as I enjoy it) but I also have a distinct fondness for how they look, smell, feel and the calm, timeless energy with which they fill a room. I am told I am at peace mostly in rooms full of books and paper despite how easily it would be for such rooms to become conflagrations in a matter of seconds. Though I prefer science fiction, fantasy, and books on the occult to all others as a general rule, I read in many different genres and, on my best days, two and a half different languages.

Webcomics are always fun. Some of my favorites include Dresden Codak, Dominic Deegan, Girl Genius, Ever After and the Perry Bible Fellowship. In addition to my love of webcomics I am also fond of regular comics especially the adventures of Dr. Strange and Hellboy, two of my childhood heroes!

Music is crucial to my life and happiness. I am a dedicated guitarist who has a love for all things pertaining to music, music history, music composition and music theory. I play primarily Fender Stratocasters for my electric guitars and love my effects pedals and clean channel. I can play in almost every style, excepting slide guitar, and enjoy the feeling of wholeness music brings to me. I am always trying my hardest to improve in my musical style and skillset.

I like communication. I talk too much and far too loudly. I get caught up in what I think sometimes and forget what’s going on in the physical plane.

I am fond of all sorts of humor from the most intellectual to the basest, most offensive sort of banter that is apt to send your grandmother over the river Styx so fast she doesn’t have time to pay.

Cinema makes me happy and I am damn near always up for seeing a good movie.

Music is important to me. Music helps me experience incredible mindscape-style imagery within my daydreams and as such is instrumental to my inspiration. I am fond of any sort of music that can give me cool mental pictures. I like instrumental music because when I hear songs I usually don’t hear the words. I hear the voice singing in notes until the second or third time I hear a particular song. Also, music in languages I do not know is good too.
