None. The supernatural is a fantasy.

"I contend that we are both atheists. I just believe in one fewer god than you do. When you understand why you dismiss all the other possible gods, you will understand why I dismiss yours." ~ Stephen Roberts

Favorite Music

I love most types of music -- except "Nashville Pop", they label it country, but it is closer to pop music than actual country music. I listen to a lot of punk, hip hop, surf and oldies; more specifically I like:

Bad Religion, Ventures, Deltron 3030, EMF, Vandals, Transplants, Man Or Astroman, Reverend Horton Heat, Living End, Guttermouth, Helmet, AFI, Bloodhound Gang, Millencolin, Wu-Tang Clan, Ugly Duckling, Del Tha Funkee Homosapien, Social Distortion, Outkast, Rancid, NOFX, Hot Rod Circuit, Reggie And The Full Effect, Snoop Doggy Dogg, KISS, Nine Inch Nails, Madonna, Rob Zombie, Buddy Rich, Gene Krupa, Dean Martin, Sublime, Suicide Machines, The Slackers, Cypress Hill, Beastie Boys, Wyclef Jean

Favorite Movies

I have a love for comedy. I think comedy is HIGHLY underrated and scoffed at by snobs. It is easier for actors to make the transition from comedy to drama than vice versa. Comedy is a careful mixture of timing and delivery. It is a lot easier to make a group of people cry or feel moved than it is to make them laugh. If you see comedy as a "lower form of art", you are only taking it at face value and not appreciating the work behind it. The technique of comedy is much harder than any other form of writing. I am also a fan of indie, horror and documentary films. I am not a fan of musicals. I am a NetFlix user and try to watch two new movies per week. My favorite movies include:

True Romance, State and Main, Leon, Idle Hands, Amelie, Kentucky Fried Movie, BASEketball, The Game, SLC Punk, Where The Buffalo Roam, Fifth Element, Die Hard, Cabin Fever, Kill Bill, SuperTroopers, The Exorcist, Clerks, The Count of Monte Cristo, Fight Club

Favorite Television Shows

I own a Tivo and I love it. My television doesn't stray much from Comedy Central.

Favorite Books

I don't read as much as I would like to. I'm very picky when it comes to fiction -- I find I prefer first person narratives. I read quite a bit of things on the 'net and love to read magazines. My favorite books include:

Eat The Rich, Tricky Business, Norwegian Wood, The Outsiders, Tao Te Ching
