Yes, i realize there have abeen a recent string in off topic topics, but........here's another one. Live with it. Plus, i figure this would be a great way to get to know ya'll personally,though i do know some of you pretty well already.
What are your other interests and/or hobbies outside of music? I know we all have SOMETHING that we like or like to do when we're not headbanging madly(or for certain things, WHILE headbanging madly). What are these things?
I'm a HUGE, HUGE, HUGE professional wrestling fan. I have been for as far back as I can remember, which is about 3 years old. In fact, my earliest TV memory is me watching NWA/WCW Clash Of The Champions V! That was in early 1989! I know quite a bit about wrestling, going as far as the mid 70's, but mostly the 80's and beyond. I've been to a total of 2 live wrestling events, and as i write this, i am looking at the ticket for my third live wrestling event: WRESTLEMANIA 21. I don't remember a whole lot, but i remember enough to know for a fact that as early as age 3, i sat in my living room, watching all these different promotions,consumed in pure awe. But yeh, wrestling is definitely one of my bigger interests, probably my second biggest, just behind music.
I'm a radio nut. I love the idea of radio, the fact that you use your imagination, and that it feels more personal than TV, meaning that if the DJ or personality doesn't suck, it feels like he/she is talking to YOU. And i love that. I love everything about radio and hope to one day be on it. As a matter offact, i actually spend more time in a day listening to talk radio than i do watching TV.
I'm also a comic book nerd, and damn proud of it! I have been since i first watched the 1989 Tim Burton classic, BATMAN. And Batman is still to this day, my favorite, by far. Overall, i'm more of a DC comics guy, though i still enjoy some Marvel, Image, Dark Horse, etc.
I also like video games. Not as much as i used to. The love has kinda gone down a bit during this current console generation, mostly because i'm missing alot of great games(particularly RPGs) because of my lack of a PS2. But i still keep up with the industry(i have a subscription to Electronic Gaming Monthly), i still play my older systems and my Gamecube.
I'm also into politics and current events. I like talking about it, i watch the news, listen to talk radio and i'm even taking a Political Science class this semester in college.
And how can I forget!? WRITING! I love to write! Editorials, album reviews, poems, it's all good! Poetry was my first love, but i then discovered my love for writing reviews soon after. I even write reviews for the metal website http://www.tartareandesire.com
I'm not very athletic, so i've never been into playing sports or anything. Just not my thing, though i love watching football for some reason.
Yeh, i'm a nerd, but i'm damn proud of it!
NERD POWER!
