chocolate milk, whiskey, and there's always room for a shot of tequila (Vitamin T, baby!)
Favorite pastimes: Snow-skiing, sky-diving, watching
cartoons (they're GOOD for you), listening to funk music, listening to NPR, creating art and animation,
writing, watching Kung Fu movies, sleeping (although there's not much time for that), sparring with
a worthy opponent, holding my own in a mosh pit, reading (although I've little time for more than
text books right now), Laser Quest, visiting art museums in other cities, camping, day dreaming/scheming, martial arts classes (actually, more a way of life than a past time).
Favorite experience: (G-rated version) Meeting Flea in Boston,
(followed by meeting Duran Duran when I was 18). Finally meeting Ani was cool
too, I have to say.
Favorite number: 22

If I could do anything I want: Paint, and play
and record music all day with no phones around
If I could sing like anyone: Sting (Also Simon LeBon, Morrisey, Johnny Cash, or Dave Gahan)
I like Eminem's voice (although it's put through effects), and also Ozzy's.
If I could have one super power: While I'd like all the
usual - ability to fly, become invisible, read minds, etc., the one I'd pick
would be the abilty to stop time for everyone but myself for as long as I
needed (in a way, this is the same as invisibility). I'd use it most for sleeping
in after the alarm goes off.
The ability to go back and undo certain events is obviously desirable.
Favorite quality in a woman: First and foremost: silliness (doing random stuff that makes me laugh), secondly: intelligence, third: being fit, fourth: ambition
Favorite quality in a man: Fearlessness (and with both
sexes: a sense of humor, intelligence, individuality, an open mind, focus, and talent).
political party affiliation: None. They all are flawed. I vote for the lesser of two evils. I've voted on both sides.

Darth
Maul, Bruce Lee, James Bond,

Favorite spice: curry
Coke or Pepsi?: Diet Coke actually, even though its evil addictiveness spooks me a bit.
Ginger or Mary Ann?: Why not both?
Elvis or The Beatles?: Absolutely The Beatles (although I do admit that Elvis was a lot cooler)
Jennifer Garner or Jennifer Connolly?: Jennifer Connolly (yeah, I know, I changed my mind)
Arcadia or The Power Station?: Arcadia
If there was an action figure of me, it would say: "How do you feel about that?", "I don't have time for this.", "That's nothing a shot of tequila won't fix", "Right on",
"What's up with that?", "I need a nap", "I don't know what you're talking about", "That sounds like bad planning",
"I just work here", "there's still time",
"so, who do you think would win in a fight between ______ and ______?", "How's it goin', lil' fella?"
Alignment: neutral good
What I should have been: A spy. Or a painter (of portraits
and scenes, not houses and walls). Or the bass player in a funky danceable
band. Or a NASCAR driver (no, really - to be PAIDto drive 200 mph? -
Awesome!).
Song that would be playing as I entered the arena to enter the octagon: "You Got Another Thing Comin'"
Things you might not know about me:
About 85% of the time I randomly glance at a clock, it's 22 minutes after
the hour. In fact, the number 22 follows
me every day to the point that those close to me are by now a little freaked out by it.
I can't whistle or juggle
When seated in a public establishment, I have to be facing the door.
I'm weird about anything pointy getting near my belly button.
I'm as of yet still unbeaten in Star Wars Trivial Pursuit.
Whenever I see a coin, I haveto pick it up, look at the date, and think back
to that year for a split second.
I've never seen The Exorcist. (But I'm o.k. with that.)
I have my own alphabet that I use to write in my journals (been doing it since 1987)
I'm strong enough for a man, but made for a woman.
My email address: It was supposed to be Xizor (pronounced Shee'-zore), an impressive character from the book
Shadows of the Empire, but someone had that already, so I added the S to the front of it.
Few people actually see the result of where all my "free" time goes:
creating 3D scenes and animations on my PC. I plan to have a DVD of all these creations done sometime.
I see a cat every night - not the same cat, but some random cat at some point every night (adendum:
rainy nights don't count-most cats hate being wet).
If I had to define myself, I'd say I'm
somewhere between Robert Smith and Darth Maul.
(with a sprinkling of Tyler Durden and James Bond mixed in for flavor)
