I intend to live forever...or die trying!

About Me

CHECK OUT THE NEW BXF MUSIC VIDEO!!!BAPTiZED BY FiRE - "Juggernaut" (official video)
!!! A QUICK APOLOGY TO THOSE TRYING TO CONTACT ME !!!
I have been busier than ever and at the same time receiving more letters than ever before and I just can't keep up. I'm going to try and get back to the stack in my mailbox right now, but please understand, from now on, unless you've written something that really needs or deserves a response, consider my response a resounding, "Thanks a lot for writing and I hope you enjoy what I'm working on!" Thanks for understanding. Yours truly - Jesse Blaze Snider
Now on to my "About Me..."
I believe that what you do, defines you. So I guess this is me...
I sing and write songs for/with the band BAPTiZED BY FiRE or BXF for short, please listen to our music on our MySpace and you can get to know me better.
I am a writer. This year will see the publication of a story I wrote for MARVEL COMICS featuring their character DEADPOOL in Marvel Comics Presents #10 and that will be followed by a one-shot hopefully later this year starring THE INCREDIBLE HULK! I'm beyond excited, I've been working on breaking into comics for 8 years now and I have finally crossed the finish line. Now, it's time to kick some ass! Also last year the first issue to a four-issue prequel to the motion picture DEE SNIDER'S STRANGELAND saw print, the remaining issues of which will be available to read online later this year. Here is the cover of the first issue....
I am a Voice Actor. I am currently the voice of a few major companies including Gamestop! (Which is really cool, cause I used to work for a Gamestop making minimum wage!) I have decided to not mention the names of the other companies, just in case they don't want my name associated with there family friendly products. =( I have also done many voices for various radio and TV commercials and promos, one of which ran during this years SUPER BOWL! I posted a particularly funny commercial I did for Burger King below. I'm the voice of the rooster who says, "Maybe I do."
..
I am a NATIONAL CHAMPION Semi-Pro Football Player for the Brooklyn Mariners! But I've been on the injured list for the last two seasons.
I am a gymnast. I used to coach gymnastics in my spare time, but now I don't have any. I sometimes do gymnastics on stage at BXF shows depending on the venue and the height of the ceilings. In 2006 I tore my PCL doing back flips on a stage with low ceilings, so I've been a lot more cautious about where I do flips, but if conditions are right, I'll flip up a storm.
I have been a VJ for MTV2, Fuse & AOL Music's Top 11 Countdown.
I have been a DJ for 98.5 the BONE and the World Famous WLIR.
I have appeared on or hosted shows for MTV, VH1, HBO, FUSE and the DISCOVERY CHANNEL.
I've done some acting here and there, most recently in the opening live sequence of the PlayStation2 Video Game "SingStar 80's" with my dad, my brother Shane and my lady Patty!
I was the Music Consultant on the acclaimed soundtrack to the motion picture DEE SNIDER'S STRANGELAND. And what that basically means is I picked every song that went on the sound track. It was pretty much my own personal late 90's metal mix tape, so if you liked it, you've got good taste. =)
Since I also believe that what you would like to do defines you, I guess this is me too...
I would like to be the leader of a new ROCK 'N' ROLL RENAISSANCE.
I would like to be a prolific writer of comic books, until the day that I die, at least 287 years from now, I should think.
I would like to expand my writing into the realm of film, literature and serialized television.
I would love to be a comedian, but unfortunately I'm not quite that funny, I'll have to live vicariously through my brother Shane instead.
I would love to be an actor. Nothing too mind blowing, just an actor in a story worth watching. That'd be cool.
I would love to change the world. Really change it. Help people think more positively, love instead of hate, smile instead of frown, laugh instead of cry, teach the meek how to use their middle fingers, that sort of thing; the kind of wonderful self-righteous anarchy that you get from having the confidence to be who you choose to be and do what you want to do. Of course, I'll have to do this in some sort of sneaky way that makes it all seem a lot more devilish and cool than it really is.
Either way, my hope is that people will enjoy the things I create and respect me for creating them. That's me. That's what I'm about.
'My hope still is to leave the world a little bit better for my having been here.' - Jim Henson

..and now a little about myself...COMIC BOOKS, I read about 100 a month. I like to believe in things greater than myself. Mostly greater things with their underwear on the outside of their pants.

MOVIES and SERIALIZED TV, I own over 1,000 DVDs!

MUSIC, I listen to tons of different styles, good music is good music.WRITING, I love it, stories, skits, comic books, songs, whatever.

FOOTBALL, I have played for half of my life and will continue to do so for as long as I am able.

SINGING, obviously. PERFORMING, slightly more so than singing.

RPGs, REAL ONES like RIFTS and AD&D, they help expand the mind!

TOYS! I have a shit load of comic book, movie & tv show Action Figures, that I set-up and mess with in a 6 inch scale city, that I have been building since I was 10!

The MUPPETS! I'm a huge fan, I have tons of action figures, stuffed animals & statues in my "Muppet Collection!"

STAR TREK! I've recently become a huge Trekker (Not Trekkie, the more snobbish Trekkers don't like being called that!) I have all of the movies and series on DVD!

COMEDY! I think Eddie Izzard is one of the funniest men alive, I have all of his stand up, his outlook on life parrellels my own! One of the first funny things my father turned me onto was Monty Python! I love pretty much everything they've ever done!

BATMAN. He's the shit. What?

FRAGGLE ROCK, it had some of the best music I ever heard when I was a kid and suprisingly it still holds up today!

COMEDIANS, I love Chris Rock, Dane Cook, Eddie Izzard, Steve Martin, Bill Cosby, John Leguizamo and loads of others!

TIGERS. I like them and ANIMALS in general. Pretty much the only TV I watch is Animal Planet & Discovery Channel (Most TV I pick up on DVD, but I also watch Cartoon Network!)

CARTOONS! I love Cartoons, especially adult cartoons, like South Park, Futurama & the Simpsons! But I love shows like Darkwing Duck, He-man, Batman and Justice League Unlimited TOO!

GYMNASTICS, cause I'm a big kid and I like to jump on and hang from things.

STAYING IN SHAPE. I read comics so in my mind Superman is average build. Plus, I'm tired of everyone thinking that us rockers are pale weaklings!

ROLLER HOCKEY! I love to play, but I haven't been able to in a while!

CHRISTMAS & HALLOWEEN are my favorite holidays. I usually dress up for Halloween, but I tend to wait to the last minute to put a costume together and usually end up drawing on my face with black eyeliner! SANTA CLAUS is one of my Favorite people!

SOUTH PARK is totally TITS!!!

NINTENDO is my favorite game systems, Mario type games make me very happy!

And... I guess that's it! =)
