About Me

Michael: Is a smartass. Cares more about others than himself. Is one third of Knock 'Em Down Productions. Believes in sea monsters and loves the ocean. Is a pescatarian, which means fish, but no other meat. Is addicted to rock and roll and will never recover. Loves movies and has a vast collection. Hates sports. Especially basketball, football, baseball, golf, NASCAR, wrestling, cricket, polo, extremely active games of chess and competitive solitaire. Has always been an outsider and wouldn't have it any other way. Was quite fond of writing in college and should probably get back into it. Has a blog that is right above this. Enjoys the shit out of live bands that aren't like everybody else. Is a lifelong Star Wars fan. Loves animals more than people and cannot stand to see them hurt but will laugh out loud when somebody falls down (come on! who doesn't?!). Will probably add to this list later.Oh, and robin williams (I will NOT capitalize his name) is my arch enemy. Fucker flipped me off one time because I said he wasn't funny. Fuck you, wino!
AIM me at Krakenreleased. I swear to God, if you're some freak, don't even bother.

My Interests

Genre-wise, I'm pretty open. I don't like Westerns, Musicals (Though there are a very few exceptions. Like, two.) or Romantic Comedies. But I love Sci-fi, Drama, Comedy (the darker, the better. Dipshit movies like anything with Adam Sandler/David Spade/Mike Myers/anyone from 90's SNL don't cut it for me), Documentaries, Horror...

Keeping up with the Hitlers

My son!

Look how smart he is! Osagi decided that since he wasn't quite warm enough, he would move his house from one corner of his enclosure and his rock from the other side and then use them to stair-step t...
