I am NOT a bomb!

About Me

Ok, I admit it. I work at Adult Swim. Most of you figured it out anyway. It seemed like a cool secret at one time.I'm probably waaaay past the age of most myspace-ers, but I dig hearing from people and meeting fans. Plus, I've actually caught up with a few old friends on here. So, there it is. If it takes me a while to get back to you, or if my etiquette regarding comments and such is not what it should be, please bear with me.
