Xyphur's Favorite Things

Interests:	Cars, Racing, Mechanics, Computers, Electronics, Music, blah, blah, etc.
Music:	Mainly rock of varying strengths. Have been known to indulge in classical as well. Basically, anything that doesn't make my ears wanna run & hide. Absolutely no hip-hop, pop, or any other type of manufactured synthetic garbage 'music'. I'm especially liking Opeth right now.
Books & Authors:	Stephen King, Dan Brown, Tom Clancy, Whitley Strieber
TV Shows:	Chuck, Terminator, American Dad, Family Guy, Top Gear, Pinks, CSI (all of them are equally good), usually anything on Discovery TLC or National Geographic (in HD also - programming usually differs)
Place:	Cayuga Dragway (Toronto Motorsports Park)
Possession:	Myself :P

Average, typical, almost-thirty-something Canadian dude.
