About Teykaerts
|
I'm twenty-two year old college grad searching for some sense of what I want to do in life.
I like to read fantasy novels, but I have pretty much exhaused the supply of quality, epic fantasy series out there. The best series ever written is surely Robert Jordan's "The Wheel of Time," with book nine scheduled for release on November 7, 2000.
I enjoy emitting loud, maniacal laughter at rerun episodes of "Friends", "Fraiser," and especially "The Simpsons," the smartest and funniest show ever to grace the air-waves.
I love playing, watching, and talking about basketball. I am a die hard Sacramento Kings fanatic, and I am quite capable of telling anyone exactly why they have what it takes to win the championship this year. Conversely, I can tell you exactly why the Lakers and the Blazers suck, and why both are destined to stink it up this year. By the way, Chris Webber is the best player in the game.
I also like to play poker, but I'm not all that great so I tend to lose all my cash. How the heck am I supposed to "read people" anyway?
One of my great passions in life is good, quality beers, both American microbrews and imported European styles. Trust me, Budweiser and Coors Light are not even in the same universe as the great craft brews that are available; if you will but take a few steps futher down the beer aisle at your supermarket, you will see some beers that are just bursting at the seams with flavor and quality. Give them a shot, and you won't be dissappointed. Here are some of my favorites:
Maudite
Full Sail Old Boarhead Barlywine
Pilsner Urquell
Full Sail Pale Ale
Spaten Optimator
Celebrator
Hale's Pale Ale
Rogue Shakespeare Stout
Orval trappist Ale
After a summer of horrible movies, want to read about the only movie worth seeing? Gladiator
Want to get outraged? Read my rip of the year's worst movie:The Cell
Lots of thanks to the lovely and intelligent i_culookn for helping me get my picture online. She writes some of the most popular reviews on epinions, and you definitely need to check her out (if you know what I'm saying).
