I am rather mellow but will occasionally inflict my bursts of energy on nearby innocents.

Martial arts play a big part in my life. If you are curious or practice yourself, drop me a line. :)

I am not a music snob. I know what I like and why I like it, and I am not embarrassed about enjoying either Verdi or Ke$ha.

That being said, here is a sampling of my favorite books, movies, and TV shows:
