About Me

I am in the military (career USAF), and I think that being in it is as close to being a superhero as I can get. My little sister once called me a part time superhero, because of the occasional times that I have to go places and do things, and I've adopted that attitude somewhat. The Air Force is good to me, but it's only one part of my life.I also am a part time freelance artist, and have drawn a few commissions for some members in the City of Heroes forums. I still do commissions for them and am available for whatever anyone wishes me to draw. If you wish to hire me, send a message to me and I will be glad to correspond with you with samples of my work on the matter!

Now you may say, "But Jim, what's bad rap?"... believe me, you know when you hear it.I love to read, write, draw, paint, and eventually become a freelance artist someday. Drawing and painting works of art are my passions, next to being with someone special!

The worst career options for your are conventional careers, like bank teller or secretary. What's Your Ideal Career?

I'd like to meet:

A woman who takes pride in herself, mentally, spiritually, and physically. A woman who can keep my attention past the physical for more than five minutes. I've often confirmed that once you pass the first five minutes of conversations wanting more and more, then you're on your way to a friendship and possibly much more, but if you are only thinking, "Well, she's hot and I'd like to **** around with her, but she's not that deep"... then it's time to move on. I believe in relationships and I want to have one... a lasting one.
Your Personality Is
Idealist (NF)

You are a passionate, caring, and unique person.
You are good at expressing yourself and sharing your ideals.

You are the most compassionate of all types and connect with others easily.
Your heart tends to rule you. You can't make decisions without considering feelings.

You seek out other empathetic people to befriend.
Truth and authenticity matters in your friendships.

In love, you give everything you have to relationships. You fall in love easily.

At work, you crave personal expression and meaning in your career.

With others, you communicate well. You can spend all night talking with someone.

As far as your looks go, you've likely taken the time to develop your own personal style.

On weekends, you like to be with others. Charity work is also a favorite pastime of yours. The Three Question Personality Test

Music:

I like a lot of different types of music, since I'm an artist. I prefer jazz with the energy to create melodies and imagery on the fly. I also get different vibes with a variety of musics, such as heavy metal, rock n roll, etc.My longstanding favorite band has to be the Dave Matthews Band. It's a eclectic sort of music and I really get the energy to draw really good stuff from it.

Movies:

I am a big fan of Sci-Fi, although I pick and choose what I see very carefully. I do see "chick flicks" for the actors, and I enjoy really good stories. If the story doesn't hold onto a person for more than five minutes, then why watch, dont you think? Action is fun to watch, and I do occasionally watch a drama movie. Different flavors according to time.But my favorite movie is Superman: The Movie! Hey, I'm a goofy kid like that...
A god among gods, you keep your power in check. You
are Superman, and thus, the world's biggest
boyscout. Compelled to serve truth and
justice, you try and protect all of existence
with no thought to yourself. If you only were
a bit more pro-active, rather than reactive,
with your great power you could do great
things.

Which DC Super Hero Are You?

Television:

I don't watch a whole bunch of Television, although I do stay informed with the news channels. I do watch Smallville, and I check out CSI, Law & Order: Special Victims Unit. Drama is what I watch on TV, and I get a kick out of trying to figure out the mysteries too. :) I do enjoy watching cartoons, although I'm a Warner Bros. fan at heart. On Saturdays, I try to relive the kid in me and watch at least a couple of cartoons.

Books:

I read science fiction (Star Wars mainly), mysteries, John Grisham books, Anne Rice's "The Vampire Chronicles" series fascinates me, and all sorts of different genres. I have read quite a few of the "Left Behind" series of books, and may return to finishing the series, but other than that... I'll read anything.

Heroes:

My first heroes have to be my parents. Plain and simple. Dad was a hard working man and I admired him for being him. Too many people in life nowadays see sports figures as heroes. That's fine and dandy, but my parents were my heroes. My mother raised me alone after my father's death when I was 11 and she is a strong woman inside. I admire her spirit and her gentleness.Your results:
You are Superman Superman 85% Robin 75% Green Lantern 75% Spider-Man 70% The Flash 70% Supergirl 60% Iron Man 60% Hulk 55% Catwoman 55% Batman 50% Wonder Woman 45% You are mild-mannered, good,
strong and you love to help others.
