About
Who the heck are you? That's quite the question.

Do any of us know who we truly are? Or yet, who we hope to be?

Well in any case, one thing is for sure -- I am who am I... and that's a whole lot of things.

Things I like:
- Baseball (Atlanta Braves)
- My cat
- Sarcasm
- 2D (platformers and shooters)
- Sega Saturn
- Metal (Unearth, Trivium, Dragon Force)
- Anime (Outlaw Star, Last Exile, Escaflowne)
