    Hot or Cold Showers?

    It varies. I usually take warm showers when the weather is colder, but when the weather gets hot and humid (Like it does in the Summer in North Carolina.) I like to take cooler showers. I really only do cold showers for one reason only and that is to cool myself down after a nice long relaxing...

    I love traveling too. I was tempted to add Travel Blogger to my honorable mentions list. Of course If I did a travel blog it would have an emphasis on Music and Architectural History as well as finding some of the best places for food and drink. Such as exploring the Musical Significance of...

    Fav periodic table element

    I agree I also like Copper. It looks really beautiful when the metal is flamed under a gas flame it gives it a tremendous patina. I also like some of copper's alloys including Brass and Bronze. Copper also reminds me of dissecting old electronics and extracting copper wire and making huge wads...

    What Annoyed You Today?

    I do too, granted there are some things AI is okay to decent at, but Ads ain't one of them. It is like all they want to sell me is Placebos for things like Male Pattern Baldness and disguise it as Breath mints. Seriously Where is the FDA when you need them the most.

    What Annoyed You Today?

    That is what I always disliked about living in the Upper Midwest. It was always extremely freezing in winter. I especially disliked it Sophomore year of High School when I had to wake up nearly at the crack of dawn and trudge through the snow, guck and sub-zero temperatures away from the warmth...

    What Annoyed You Today?

    I was browsing my Facebook and I have noticed to my horror and dismay that almost every other post on my facebook is an AI-Fueled ad.

    Does anyone like sitcoms?

    Love them. I don't mind the ones with laugh tracks or the studio audience laughing, but there are some good sitcoms that do not have these such as The Office (US Version), Arrested Development, or my all time favorite Curb Your Enthusiasm.

    Favorite workout (or activity) songs/albums/playlists

    I typically just put on Talking Heads or Rush or even a podcast when I work out. When I am in the Sauna I like to put on some Yanni so I can relax a little bit more. I find the Yanni to be a good transition between my workout regiment, showering shaving and changing after I have used the...

    Favourite Words in Languages Other Than English

    The Dutch word for Potato also means Earth Apple it is "Aardappel". I know the French word for Sweet Potato is totally different in French. In French it is "Patate Douce." What is really bizarre and slightly related to The Legend of Zelda is the fact is the word Sweet Potato is an informal term...

    Things That Are on Your Mind

    Interesting factoid several famous composers and musicians had or have Synesthesia and or Chromosthesia such a Franz Liszt, Oliver Messiaen and even Sir Elton John. Personally I think it adds to their genius and allure.

    Things That Are on Your Mind

    I went to an Indoor waterpark/theme park today while on vacation in the Alabama Gulf Coast. It got me thinking what would certain parts of Hyrule possibly be akin to if it were a theme park. I always assumed Zora's Domain would be an awesome waterpark.

    Do you use mods in some of the games you play?

    I only really use mods for when I play Kerbal Space Program. I used to go pretty mod crazy when I played Garry's Mod, I even switched my in-game protagonist from the stock Dr. Isaac Kleiner to Link from The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, but that was before Apple decided to throw a wrench...
