User:PericlesofAthens

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hi everyone, my name's Eric. I'm an American of Irish, English, Italian, Swedish, and Slovenian descent. I chose the username PericlesofAthens because Pericles is one of my favorite ancient Athenian statesmen and strategos of ancient Greece. I'm 21 years old, a junior in college, a history major at George Mason University, and mostly interested in the History of China. I am also interested in Chinese art, although art in general, from all time periods and places, is an area of interest. I'm an avid guitar player, and on and off I play in a band with friends. Although I like all types of music to an extent, metal is my thing, especially thrash metal bands like Testament. I also like Hardcore metal acts like Sick of It All and Madball. When it comes to Hip Hop, Wu Tang Clan does it best.

I do love food. I love eating late at night too. You know, you're not suppose to eat late at night, but then again you're not suppose to drink booze in the morning. And apparently you're never supposed to smoke crack...Well whatever! I'm not training for the Olympics! I'm sorry but after an entire hour of work, what if I want to unwind with a burger and a crack pipe. If I do that every night does that make me some sort of crackhead?

"This guy's a crackhead!" "That's why he's so pale!"

- Jim Gaffigan, favorite comedian
