A few things about me

This is not a meme. There are no tags here. This is merely a list of a few things you might not know about me, that are somewhat related to this subject matter of this blog, and may in some senses color what I say here.

• I very rarely ask other people to be my friends on social networks like Facebook and Myspace... I usually wait for them to ask me because I don't want to impose on people. I don't want to be one of those awkward requests like, I don't know, their mom or something.


• Even though I haven't own a set in a long time, I keep considering going out and buying some Legos or some other similar kind of building toy. I don't know why this thought keeps occurring to me however.


• As I get older, it seems like every song by the late Jim Croce I hear is somehow increasingly evocative to me. At first, it was just "Time in a Bottle," but it seems like its happening with almost all his songs now. I mean, "Operator" I understand, but even "Bad Bad Leroy Brown"? I'm going soft, I really am.


• I have never played a Guitar Hero/Rock Band game... and in fact, my experience with rhythm based games is extremely limited. I never played Dance Dance Revolution or any of its predecessors or clones either.


• Critically acclaimed television series I haven't seen an episode of: Veronica Mars, Lost, Battlestar Galactica, Heroes, Firefly, Angel, Rescue Me, Dexter, The L-Word, Nip/Tuck, Monk


• While I am a fan of violent movies and video games, I can't really stand realistic gore, blood or depictions of pain at all.
