About Me

Well, my name is Princess Consquella Bannana Hammock. Ohhkay fine, you win. That is not really my name. Seriously though, my name is James. I swore to myself I would never get back on here, but here I am. I used to be on here a LONG time ago. It kinda got addicting, but then we lost our internet and that was that. First off I hate talking about myself (in these things). People do have conversations for a reason, right?? But, what the hell...I'll give this a try. I am 25 years old, and just getting back to the states after a tour of three years and some change in Japan. I was in the Navy, and honestly I wish I still was. I wish I still had alot of things, but isn't that the way life goes?? Kinda wish I still had some beer in this bottle. Well, I do enjoy drinking and going out having fun. Usually in dives/hole in the wall type places. Big clubs and everything just don't do it for me. Never understood them. Wait outside. Pay to get in. Then buy drinks, for what you could get a case at the corner store for. Whatever floats your boat, I suppose. I am somewhat outgoing, but usually go with the flow of whatever is going on around me. I hate waiting for things to happen. If you say you are going to do something, DO IT already. I feel like I have a very solid group of life long friends, many of which only see every blue moon, others nightly/weekly. But, the company of friends is always a good thing. I believe I am one of these supposed "care-free" people out there in the world. Never really understood that either...I care about alot of things, places, and yes ofcourse, people. But, the bad things and negativity never seem to surface. Unless I am being tested in something I strongly believe in, which then could go along and also say I have a stubborn-side. But who doesn't, right?? Enough in this part...

My Interests

Let's see things that are interesting to me...Hmm... I love the outdoors, traveling (when I had/have the chance), photography, throwing darts, shooting pool, hanging out/drinking. Love sports. Cubbies and Da Bears. My main love has to be basketball though. For some reason, History and Math interest me. What an odd combination, eh?? I suppose I would be lying if I said tv and all wasn't an interest of mine. Too many things to list here. Main ones I think I got...

I'd like to meet:

Who would I like to meet?? Who thinks up these questions, anyway?? How is this for an answer...NORMAL people. I'm sorry (really I am) to those people out there who would get insulted by that comment, but there are pyscho's everywhere. I can vouch...I know ALOT of them. Besides being normal, maybe someone who knows how to do that trick with their mouth. You know that one where the corners kinda curl up. I think it is called "smile". Laughter and a sense of humor are key ingrediants to most conversations around me. It definately won't work out though, if you have the personality of a rock/wall. Yeah, that's right. I said it. lol Next question, please...

Music:


Movies:

Not really sure about this...I haven't seen a new movie or anything in probably 4-5 years. But, love comedies, yes even the romantic type of ones. Hate horror movies. Well, I suppose that is unjust to say...All the Freddy, Jason, Michael Myers crap...What ever happened to originality?? Mainly I only like movies, if I wouldn't mind watching them again. I don't even think I could begin to say how many times I've seen Mallrats, Clerks, Poolhall Junkies, A Guy Thing, 8 Mile, Pearl Harbor, Stars Wars III, yadda, yadda, yadda...Kenny Chesney - I Go Back
..

Television:

This is kinda easy...I HATE REALITY SHOWS!! THEY SUCK!! What is so real about them?? Who the hell wants to swap spouses?? Who cares what celebrities can dance or ice skate?? Who cares who the last person on the island is going to be. Or even who the next "American Idol" is going to be. B-O-R-I-N-G!! Now that I am done venting...I tend to think I only watch intelligent, mature, educating and grown up shows like: Family Guy, King Of The Hill, Friends, Everybody Loves Raymond, Seinfeld, Frasier, That 70's Show, Jeopardy, Sportcenter, Football, Cub's games, Yes Dear. Notice the overwhelming amount of reality shows I listed there...

Books:

Anything and all written by Jonanthan Kellerman. Great author. Although, Tom Clancy also has alot of great novels. But, they are also all movies. Why accomplish in a week what I can in two and a half hours, right??

Heroes:

Would anyone get offended if I said...Superman?? Seriously though...I don't think I could just put one person's name in this box. Heroes aren't born. That is just stupid!! I believe that the terms "hero" and "role model" should go hand in hand. I don't believe a hero should be a member of your favorite sports team, your favorite actor/actress, or even your favorite musician. A hero is someone you have known your whole life who has molded you into the person you are today. Teachers, parents, friends, police officers, fireman/firewoman, members of the military. Just basically...someone who has given you everything you are, and has asked for nothing in return. To me, those are my heroes. I ask you...Who is your hero??

How about this for a subject...??

So, against my alter ego’s pressure, I have decided to not post my yearly White Sox humiliations this year.  I think I’ll just leave that to The Heckler.  Great stuff, you should...
