L.T.

This is my story. It all begins here.........

About Me


First and foremost, I'm the biggest Detroit Tigers fan you're likely to ever meet in your life. In fact, I may very well be the biggest fan of any sports team you're likely to meet in your life. I don't do the crazy stuff like fans of other teams do, like paint my face or get crazy costumes or tattoo myself with the team logo or anything like that, but think of the biggest Pistons/Lions/Red Wings/whatever-your-team-is fan you know..........I love the Tigers more than him/her. I guarantee it.
I also love Spartan football, this is an important thing to know about me.
If you come away from this page knowing only one or two things about me, those are the things to know. The other phases of my personality most people only learn about if I like them enough to let them in. However I'll do my best to add a little more.
I'm your average, not-so-average person. Articulate and yet often misunderstood. Arrogant, but humble. If you've made it this far, you probably also would say "bipolar" for my use of those opposite adjectives, but that would be a hasty and incorrect judgment. My personality is like a Rubik's cube, figuring me out is tough. If you get there, then you'll see what I'm about, and I won't have to write a five page essay to lay it out for you.

My Interests

Video games, sports, politics/current events, American history, black history, world history, and astronomy.

I'd like to meet:

Bill Maher, Bob Costas, Nobuo Uematsu..........I'm drawing blanks on any others, at least amongst the living.If we can include dead people, I'd REALLY like to meet Nat Turner, Arthur Ashe, and Abraham Lincoln. Jackie Robinson too.

Music:

I like all kinds of music - With exceptions to gospel and heavy metal - But 85% of what I listen to is rap, and most of it is from the 90s. I don't like most new rap music. And I don't like most rap music from the 80s either. Early 90s West Coast and Late 90s South is what I like. With Nas and Keith Murray thrown in there.

Aside from rap I like alot of stuff spanning a ton of genres. I also listen to old Nintendo game music and remixes of old Nintendo game music. I am a fair fan of Eurodance also. Just ask me if I like the music and I'll tell you.

Movies:

I have my favorites, in no particular order:

a) Return of the Jedi
b)The Chronicles of Riddick
c) Wildcats
d) End of Days
e) South Park: Bigger, Longer, and Uncut
f) Half Baked
g) Eight Men Out
h) Revenge of the Sith

Television:

My favorite shows are:Real Time w/Bill Maher, The Simpsons, Blind Date, Unan1mous, Shipmates, Divorce Court, the Tigers, the Lions, the Spartans (football), college football in general, MLB in general, the History Channel, G4/Tech TV, Nicktoons, Family Guy, and................yeah, that about covers it. I don't watch very much that doesn't fit into the above categories.

Books:

My favorite books of all-time have to be......

1984 by George Orwell

Kenyatta's Last Hit by Donald Goines

Daddy Cool by Donald Goines

The Art of War by Sun Tzu

The Art of Controversy by Arthur Schopenhauer

The Giver by Lois Lowry

Heroes:

My Dad............putting anyone else on his level would just be blasphemy.
