Life: I live in Sweden (where polarbears and penguins roam free ^_^ ) and was born and
raised in the nice city of Trollhättan. I have been studying at the University of Skövde for about 4 years. The program was went is called
Systemprogramming and the focus was on C++. Though I'm sad to say that I didn't finish it so I got no
degree in anything just "loose points". So right now I'm looking and looking for work. And damn all jobs
seem to require you to have many years experience, but how am I supposed to get experience if I don't get on in the first place?
Music: Megadeth will always be my favorite metal band, no matter what happends. All those
great records and songs are not so easily forgotten. My favorite lineup is the Mustaine, Ellefson,
Friedman and Menza one. Maybe because I began listening to them at that point and the cd's recorded then
just blew me away. But of course I like all their albums (yes also Risk, it has it's charm). But other
music wise I have mostly listened to (and liked) Power Metal bands for a long time now, but have been more
and more begun to listen to much black metal and also death metal (and "regular" heavy metal of course).
Some of my top bands at the moment (in different categories) are Megadeth, Stratovarius, Thyrfing,
Summoning, Lost Horizon, Turisas, Sonata Arctica, Thunderstone, Moonsorrow, Dragonland, Nightwish, Opeth,
Dissection... and the list goes on. It's stricly metal.. I have never been very good at instruments (or
just didn't have the motivation to learn any) so I stick to just listening to music.
Movies: I really like watching movies and have seen plenty in my lifetime. Some favorites
are Star Wars original trilogy (not ep 1-2), Lord of the Rings Trilogy (Peter Jackson so rules), The Crow,
anything with Johnny Depp (which is probably my all time my favorite actor). I'm also a big Hong Kong
movie fan and have seen I would guess over 200 asian titles. My favorite martial artist is Jet Li which
movies like Tai-Chi Master, Fong-Sai Yuk 1-2, Fist of Legend is fantastic. My favorite drama/action actor
is probably Tony Leung. I've seen plenty of chinese, japanese and korean movies. Of course I also then
like Anime (japanese animation). Favorite current series are Inuyasha, Naruto, GunGrave.. Good all-time
series are Cowboy Bebop, Trigun, Scryed. Also many anime movies like Spirited Away, Vampire Hunter D
(orig. and Bloodlust) Ghost in the Shell, Akira, Spirited Away, Grave of the Fireflies to mention a few.
Sports: Done a couple of sports like orientering, cross country skiing, soccer, badminton,
karate but never really stuck to any of them. I do like to watch sports. I watch quite alot and different
sports. Some sports I watch are skiing, soccer, hockey, swimming, handball, curling (is actually pretty
fun). I watch the olympic games and world championships in various sports. My favorite athlete is the
cross country skier Per Elofsson. I have made a website about him
here (Swedish only).
Computers: I spend a great deal in front of my computer. I use it for making graphics
(mostly 2d), playing games, designing websites, watching movies, code now and then. I see myself as pretty
handy with computers, both hardware wise and software. I also have a Playstation 2 with around 140 games
(with modchip of course)..
Now, that was something about my life and interests. If you want to know something else (why you wanna do
that I don't know though), then don't hesitate to send me an e-mail. I answer as fast as I can.
