We can't take them all.....but we can take them on

About Me

I'm a Grade "A" Dork from the enchanted state of New Jersey (it's enchanted due to the warm glow) ....I have lived here my whole life, but have visited places all over the world ....I'd be willing to live in other places in the world for a short while, but my heart belongs to NJ ....I am a doctoral student at NJIT where I perfect both the art of procrastination and failure in the art of time management .....I have great friends and a great family ....and my special power is the ability to shake exactly two Tylenol out of the bottle everytime ....I have saved many people from overdosing with my special power ......Drug of Choice: Nestle NesQuik, Method of Application: Inhalation (nothing better than snorting some good ole NesQuik....mmmmm)

I have a column called "The Cocaine Cowboy Corner." You can find it at the Anime 3000 website . So head on over to Anime3000.com and read my work!!! I would love to hear what you think....

My Interests

Anime 3000!!!! The website that I write a column for....

Also visit our Message Board
My interests range from video games (God's gift to us all!!!!!!!!!) to movies and music to history to sports to comics to books and computers to school (i guess when you go as far in school as i have, it has to be an interest). Anyway, I spend most of my time wasting other people's time. Also with the help of my cohorts Tolu and Jim, we are studying the effects of caffeine and alcohol on the hand-eye coordination of humans.

I'd like to meet:

Matt Maiellaro and Dave Willis (creators of Aqua Teen Hunger Force), Mike Krahulik and Jerry Holkins (Again) (better known as Gabe and Tycho from Penny Arcade), Scarlett Johansson (and ask her why she always gets tooled), Matt Groening (creator of Simpsons and Futurama), Milo (from the Descendents), Enrico Fermi and many others.....especially people that are so famous that they are IN-famous....

Music:

Punk, Hardcore, some metal, 80s metal (hell yeah!!!), Funk, other stuff .......love going to shows........MC Pee Pants and Sir Loin!!!!!......

Movies:

Yes, I like movies ....I like to watch them ....usually in lieu of doing school work ....as far as the movies i like ....well, Mallrats, Clerks, Chasing Amy, all Kevin Smith movies pretty much ....Eight Men Out, Usual Suspects, Lost in Translation, Matrix, Star Wars, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, American Splendor, Donnie Darko, Indiana Jones, Lord of the Rings ....tons others ....comic book movies like X-Men, Batman Begins ....and ....eh ....i'm done with this shit ....you can ask me if i like a certain movie .....i like a lot as long as it is good ......eh ....i guess i just wasted all your time by making you read this filth .....hmmm ........more .......periods .....would ......fill ......this ......box ......nicely ........................how ......about .......some ......semicolons!!!! ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;yeah ;;;;;;;;;;;just ;;;;;;;;;look ;;;;;;;;;;;;;at ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;those ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;semicolons ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;it ;;;;;;;;;;is ;;;;;;;;;so ;;;;;;;;;;;beautiful ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;; ;;;;;;;;;; done

Television:

gotta love Adult Swim....specifically Aqua Teen Hunger Force (BEST SHOW ON TV), Sealab 2021, Home Movies, Harvey Birdman, 12 Oz. Mouse, etc.....I love the Simpsons (of course), Futurama (fuck Fox for killing this show), Family Guy (fuck you again, Fox), Justice League Unlimited (rumor is that it might be cancelled soon, that is absolutely EViL), South Park.....Cartoon Cartoons!!! Foster's Home For Imaginary Friends, Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy, Dexter's Lab, Powerpuff Girls, etc (Yeah, so i like cartoons....they are the best thing going on TV nowadays....the art of the sitcom is dead!!!).........Sopranos and Curb Your Enthusiasm......Anime (Cowboy Bebop, Evangelion, Bleach, Blood+ and much more)....i watch sports too.....and.....and....oh....wait.....it's coming.....to.....me.......OH YEAH!!!! THE RESEARCH CHANNEL!!!! (You just don't know the goodness of watching some lifeless bore explaining his/her research on Cross Polination of Rare Rain Forest Plants in Space....highly exciting).........But let's be serious for a moment....the best channel on TV has to be that graph on channel 112 or something along those lines (they always change the channel it is on because UPN is upset that the graph gets higher ratings....by the way, fuck you too, UPN!!!! Those bastards at UPN cancelled my show...it was gonna be a hit, "Rubber Disco Boy and the Homeboys from Outter Space".....pure genius!!!)....anyway, the graph is amazing!!! I have no clue what it is reading, but man those peaks kick ass!!!

Books:

hmmm....how about: Strangers on a Train, Great Gatsby, A Farewell to Arms, MacBeth, Othello, Great Expectations, All Quiet on the Western Front...oh and the Odyssey and Plato's Republic.....and....eh, forget it...do you actually believe any of this crap?!?.....I CAN'T READ.....THERE!!! I SAID IT!!!!

Heroes:

my dad, Tolu Talabi, the guy at Shop-Rite with the cape, motorcycle helmet guy, and some shmuck scientists that nobody knows.......

My Blog
