Car modding. I had a 425+hp Neon SRT-4 before my current car, then a few Eclipses before that. An N/A that was fully built (but still slow as shit), a GSX, and a GST. None of the Eclipses were terribly fast. The GST was making about 275-300hp when I sold it. Actually had a GBA SP 101 in my car too ;) It operated as the interface for the fuel and boost controller that I used in the Neon. Before I got back into gaming I actually made money doing custom mods for other cars enthusiasts. Me making crap. Shocker, I know :P Did lots of custom retrofit headlights, tail lights, painting/powder coating, custom badges, lighting, etc. Up until about 6 months ago I ran a local car club with a couple of other guys (http://www.forced4s.com/). I hit a rough spot where I had to deal with some serious health issues and I had to give it up. Just couldn't keep working myself to death while trying to do a million things at once :-\ Other than the car stuff, I collect music. I also like to make stuff out of wood, plastic, metal, whatever, as you guys may have already noticed ;) I really just tend to like anything that lets me use my hands and be creative. I can't stand sitting idle. Oh, and ceramics. I love making teapots and tea sets (my wife's a foreigner, and loves tea). You can see two of 'em in that pic with the CDs. |

Man, so many talented people! Well, besides collecting things like Star Wars and Batman:TAS action figures and some comic series I like to make soundtrack medleys. You can see a few from Star Trek and one from Pokémon on my YouTube channel: http://www.youtube.com/user/TyrannicalFascist1 I also have a very big hobby of making a series of parody films with my high school and college friends: It started after our freshman year in 2002 asking ourselves "could we make a Star Wars fan film?" And we did. It didn't have very good acting, costumes, choreography, video or audio quality, and the story was hard to follow with too many inside jokes, but it was our first attempt. And it got me to get a degree in Media, emphasizing in film. In 2006 we reunited to make some shorter follow-ups, and since then we've gotten 4 entries underway, including a heavily reworked version of our original, and a semi-weekly webseries called The Rigors of Mortuus, now culminating in the sequel we always wanted to make: The Plot Strikes Back. As some of you may have heard, we took our Disco Fett costume to the big Star Wars convention in August, and it was VERY well-received, with probably over 500 people stopping us to take pictures in around 2 hours, including Seth Green from Robot Chicken/Family Guy. And we somehow ended up in a music video... I've been pushing a lot to include a lot of video game references thanks to my time on this site. The Plot Strikes Back will have a lot, including repainted NES zappers, a Virtual Boy, lots of Star Fox references, and (picture this if you can) - a Darth Vader-like character, who has a chest box made from a model 2 Sega Genesis, with attached controller on his belt, along with several other game controllers and peripherals painted black and silver, and with a cybernetic right arm made from an NES Power Glove painted jet black (such as in the poster). We haven't filmed him yet, but this character, Dharth Tyrannical-Fascist, I think will be pretty hilariously awesome when done. What originally started as a straight Star Wars parody has grown to a parody of many, many more things, from Batman to Power Rangers, Star Trek to Lord of the Rings. In a lot of ways this series is representative of our group's friendship - something we can all look back on if we end up going separate ways. Plus we just love coming up with new ideas! <-- Me with long hair btw Here is our website: http://spoofwarsfilms.com/ I'd strongly recommend you check out the videos under our WATCH > Short Films button, like our 2007 Mr. Magoo-inspired short film Typhon, or our current webisode series The Rigors of Mortuus (episode 8 is probably my favorite). We also have a Facebook, Google+ and Twitter account if you guys want to follow for big updates. We're also looking for people to be in it - we are limited to local people for extras and supporting characters since we have the green screen and costumes, but we can always use voices for Congressmen, Stormtroopers, Computers, Droids, Aliens, etc. And, yes, we've had enough fun making the series that we even have a Wiki, most of which I've overseen: http://spoofwars.wikia.com/wiki/Spoof_Wars_Wiki |

too many hobbies to list, but my latest endeavor is welding. It really opens the doors to many creative opportunities. I'm half way through the welding tech course this semester at the local college. Next step is to upgrade the electrical service to the house. |
