Other Tidbits/Comments

I love my wife. She is awesome, and supports my hobby. She takes great pleasure in finding things for me. I love Godzilla stuff, and Daikaiju. I love real pen & paper rpgs w/ my buds (check out our online rpg magazine at www.griffon.cc & read my history video game rpgs in issue 4.)

I'm a vegetarian. (not fish, or any thing that runs in pain when u stab it.)

I love Dogs. I love my dogs. They are all rescued. They have their own air conditioned room :-)

I love being out in nature. The less sign of human civilization, the better. No sign at all, the best. and no technology :)

I love the ocean, and used to study marine biology, and ecosystems, as well as oceanography.
