ROME


A ferocious lover of life, possessing the courage and loyalty of a warrior, but the morality of a pirate. A man of huge appetites and wild passions. Impulsive, unreflective, optimistic, conceited, generous, and brutal.

Rome is one of my favorite mini series that I watch on HBO. Since there is less day light time in the winter, I am unfortunately drawn to the television for entertainment late in the evening. HBO together with BBC have really put together a historically factual and somewhat over dramatization of this ancient civilization. I really get into the characters and their roles within the empire. Titus Pullo who resembles myself in similar ways, or at least I like to think so, is one of my favorite characters. He is my kind of man!

If you get a chance and you like history and drama, check it out. They should of had stuff like this when I was in school, it would of made learning a lot more interesting, minus the nudity and adult language of course.
