About Me

I use "Ty" in everything
I talk down to people.
I like to read and write. Both offer me an escape from the real world, which we all need sometime.
Um... I'm very sarcastic but people refer to it as "smartass" or "asshole," both of which is entirely true. It tends to give off arrogance but I disagree with that assessment. I just can't tolerate stupid people.
I love and hate life simultaneously.
Who am I? I'm Titus... lost somewhere between Ty and The Ty.

Do you want to get Married: If the circumstances are right and I feel she won't divorce me/cheat on me later with a doctor or lawyer or surfer and take half of ours and mine, then sure.
Do you belive in yourself: I exist in this world, I'm sure. Most people do not realize I'm around, but then again, most people can't see God either.
Do you get Motion Sickness: Only on carnival rides that spin around
Do you think you are Attractive: A little alcohol and everyone's attractive... it might take a lot of alcohol for some less than favorable people... especially fat ones.

Ever been called a Tease: Actually, I have... and I got off on that. That's right. I'm dirty.
Ever been Beaten up: Surprisingly, no... everyone likes me or at least act like they do, which gives me one of two impressions: They're afraid of me or they're just superficial. Either way, I feel so loved.
Ever Shoplifted: I tried, but the store was to heavy to even lift off the ground with my bare hands.
How do you want to Die: I get a choice? Yay!!! How about.. I die protecting the planet from evil space aliens? And then, the evil space aliens can clone me in the sequel so I won't really have died only now I'm all bad and stuff. And then, at the end, I turn good again and kick the evil aliens' asses! Hollywood should be jumping all over that.

My Interests

Of the many things I'm interested in, these are the most prominent: film (film, in this case, deals with every aspect of filmmaking), movies, reading, writing (mostly fiction, otherwise it's philosophical), screenwriting, drawing, long novels, Greek myth, ghosts and the supernatural, music, laughter, comedy, improv, philosophy (not academically), comic books (I buy Wizard every other month to keep up with the comic business), Harry Potter (the books and movies), Detroit sports teams, dvds, cds, sarcasm, short stories, Pepsi, religion, philosophical thoughts, individuality, liberalism with a dash of conservative, indie music, football, gods, goddesses, different cultures, independence, open-mindedness, and waxing poetic. If you find that you are also interested in these subjects, feel free to send a message my way.

I'd like to meet:

Anyone who is inspired and can inspire. I love people who can agree with me because I'm awesome. Something along those lines. Honestly, anyone who seeks creative and intellectual fulfillment. If you're one of those people, you can definitely talk to me.

I'm a moderate liberal, since I tend to favor that side more. I'm also becoming increasingly impatient with tree-hugging liberal hippies. If I swing the body conservative, it's because of you and your endless preaching about neglected rights and what not. I don't delve too heavily into politics for this reason. I'd rather be an anarchist, which of course, isn't possible in this country. I'm speaking for myself here.

If you'd like to meet me, you can IM me courtesy of AIM@NapoleonTynamite... or send me a message on here. It takes me forever to reply, but I almost always will.

Heroes:

A glorified human being. Hm... what constitutes a hero? Does that person have to overcome certain obstacles in their life? Must they seek justice? Does a hero have to persevere from certain evils? What defines heroism? We are all heroes. We constantly overcome hate, greed, and anything else holding us back. It is in our nature to survive, to fight. For money... for yourself... for your family... for your country... for your fellow man... for love. Who is my hero? Good question.

Hi, friends

I admit my devotion to the few blogs I have in my name is sporadic, either because I'm never inspired enough to write in them, or because I'm a silent supporter of procrastination.  It's probably...

Hot Fuzz!

Three years ago, a great satire by the name of Shaun of the Dead came out in theaters.  That movie was heralded as one of the better satires to come along in a long time.  Personally, I thin...

It's recently come to my attention that somehow I'm not original enough.  This, of course, concerns my zombie/vampire story more than anything.  Well, honestly, what is original these days?&...

Superhero Envy - A new short story
