About Me

I play bass in a kick ass band called Blackout Shoppers. I spend my time looking for ways to make Blackout Shoppers America's favorite hardcore punk band while trying not to get arrested for posting flyers.
I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V3.6 !

I'm a big Penn & Teller fan. I agree with many of their ideas:Blackout Shoppers' favorite proprietor: Hafize Sahin

You are Malcolm Reynolds (Captain) Malcolm Reynolds (Captain) 80% Dr. Simon Tam (Ship Medic) 60% Zoe Washburne (Second-in-command) 50% Derrial Book (Shepherd) 50% Jayne Cobb (Mercenary) 45% Alliance 35% River (Stowaway) 25% Wash (Ship Pilot) 20% Kaylee Frye (Ship Mechanic) 10% A Reaver (Cannibal) 10% Inara Serra (Companion) 10% Honest and a defender of the innocent.
You sometimes make mistakes in judgment
but you are generally good and
would protect your crew from harm.
