About Me

With an appetite for animation, video games, comic books, movies, wrestling and pretty much anything geekish, I am the envy of all those silly bastards wasting away their lives striving to be jocks so that they could dream of million dollar contracts and a court convictions that will turn them into every mother's shame. If you just so happen to be a jock and are one of my friends, you're discounted from the latter because you're cool. Much of my time is spent perfecting some of my artistic craft, Adobe Illustrator in particular at the time of this writing. And though I am an American, I retain the belief that when the world ends only Japan will stand because they're a buncha sneaky little bastards. Their animated programming is giving us clues, people. Pay attention to them! With all this in mind, you can see why I am the man.
Even though I'm still a fat-ass, though.
Just like my brother, and a bit of a no-brainer either:
I am Spider-Man Spider-Man 70% Robin 65% Superman 55% The Flash 55% Supergirl 46% Wonder Woman 46% Hulk 45% Green Lantern 45% Iron Man 40% Batman 30% Catwoman 20% You are intelligent, witty,
a bit geeky and have great
power and responsibility.

I scored as Simba
Simba 61% Nala 57% Rafiki 57% Mufasa 54% Pumbaa 54% Sarabi 54% Ed 46% Zazu 46% Timon 43% Scar 11% You've suffered immense hardships, but you can see the larger picture, realizing that there is light at the end of the tunnel as long as you continue on. Family and best friends are sacred to you and you would leap to defend them at any time, at whatever cost. You also have a tendency to be sentimental, sometimes allowing your emotions to supercede your better judgement. And yet, at other times, you're not enough in tune with your emotions. You need to find an equal balance between faith and logic. You're still great, though, overall! Which Lion King Character Are You?
