what i like:: and also what i don't like...
main : about raider3 : what i like
[-- who i am : where i've been : what i do : what i want : feedback --]

My favorite stuff:
Anime, of course...
Japanese food, particularly sushi and sashimi, always brings a smile to my face ^_^;
Music, particularly 1970s and 1980s music, just about anything that isn't country.
Beverages -
  • Usually any diet cola if I can swing it, either Diet Coke or Diet Pepsi, sometimes the Diet Pepsi Twister variants (anyone remember Pepsi Light?)
  • Root beer (Usually A&W)
  • Rockstar energy drink (Thanks for showing me the way, Aoshi)
  • Icee frozen drinks (especially Men In Black II Blackberry!)
  • Alcoholic ones: Most beers, preferably Guinness or Yebisu, the occasional Gin and Tonic - R3's official spirit of choice: Maker's Mark
  • Good old H2O when nothing else appeals... Too bad Modesto's tap water still sucks.
Sweets - usually any chocolate, SweetTarts(in just about every variation, haven't tried those SweetTart gummies yet), Pocky (again, just about most flavors that still get exported here to the US)
Books - I like some mysteries, sci-fi stories, crime stories, good adventures, manga when I can find any translated that I'm into - Newtype USA, Game Informer magazines.
Sleeping in late, when I can - pity that I stay up way too late since I got back online with the new computer... ~_~
Karaoke (haven't gone for a while, though)
Making new friends (it's harder than it looks, I may come off as looking somewhat aloof to those who don't know me that well, at least that's the impression that I get, plus, it takes me a while to work up to being social, but sometimes it's hard to shut me up.)
Sports - I'd have to say auto racing and golf, the two I feel I could pull off. As for basketball, football, or baseball, I'll take interest if any of the teams close to here are up in the rankings... (these last few months were rough, though.)

And... Stuff that just plain sucks:
The terrorists, and those that support them - Fuck Al Queda, Fuck Bin Laden, Fuck Saddam, I'm not going to let some assholes from thousands of miles away dictate how Americans should live their lives. I hope we kick all your asses.
When it's really busy at work (5 week straight as of this post - April is a long way off... ~_~)
Rude people, people who can hear but refuse to listen... Is there a difference? It's hard to tell sometimes.
Cliques and related behavior. I mean, geez, most of us are years out of high school now...
People who have nothing better to do than to raise hell, whether it be on the net or otherwise.
The fact that a lot of cool things I remember are no longer in existence anymore. The passage of time is a blessing and a curse...
