About Me

To start off, I'm a square. I like to think I'm funkier than the average square... but I'm a square none the less. I graduated from The Evergreen State College in Olympia, Washington. My Evergreen years have really caused me to grow up and take responsibility. At least more responsibility than I had prior.
I manage to pay my rent at the begining of each month by working as a radio personality at a small market radio station. Sometimes I have enough money left over after rent to buy a burrito or two! Yes Ladies, I'm Livin' The Large Life!
I love music, namely Old School Hip-Hop, Motown Soul, New Jack Swing, 80's Pop and good ol' Funk. I usually have tunes going wherever I am.
I have a black lab, Newman, who currently lives with my parents. I am quite close with my family. Not in a moochy way, but if I'm offered a home cooked meal, I hop on it.
When with my buds, I enjoy a good par-tay, even though I don't partake in the smoking or drinking. Believe it or not, you can have a good time without the sauce or stink. Dang, I'm coming off pretty preachy in this thing. Other things I dig are Hawaiian shirts, Kangol caps, shorts exposing my hairy legs, Adidas shelltoes, pleated slacks (apparantly I like certain clothes), comics, my beard, lava lamps, high-fives, thumbs-ups...
Am I supposed to write my life story on this thing? I think I'll just leave this at that.

I guess I'm happy with these survey results. Blue Beetle is kinda like Spider Man, and this says I have little in common with that jerk Batman! Just for the books, Batman got Beetle killed.

My Interests

Music, Pajama Jammy Jams, getting my "eat on" with some serious pizza action, destroying* Blake at NBA Live 2004, The Burrito Wagon, dinosaurs, comics, movies and most importantly- hanging out with my buddies.
*sometimes beating him.

I'd like to meet:

Meeting a talking dog would be hilarious! Or extremely scary. Meeting "Macho Man" Randy Savage would also be rad.

Music:

Whodini, Kool Moe Dee, Public Enemy, Cameo, Queen, Big Daddy Kane, Tone-Loc, Kurtis Blow, Billy Ocean, The Surpremes, LOWdown, Living Legends, Field Mob, INXS (the original line-up), Tom Jones, Spinners, Talib Kweli, Four Tops, David Bowie, Prince, Joe Budden, EU, Rick James, Cee-Lo Green, Mac, The Temptations, Meatloaf, Fat Boys, Guru, Run DMC, Pigeon John, Powerline and the lyrical beast Macho Man Randy Savage! Ohhhh Yeahhhh!

Movies:

I dig an assortment of flicks:
Boardheads, Leon The Professional, Platoon, House Party 1-3, School Daze, Who Framed Roger Rabbit, 187, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 1 and 2 (the third one doesn't exist), The Transformers The Movie, Can't Hardly Wait, Jackie Brown, Bill N Ted's Bogus Journey, A Goofy Movie, Sin City, Surviving The Game, Dirty Work, Jurassic Park, The Great Mouse Detective, Freaked, Fakin' Da Funk and Coffy... just to name a few.

Television:

South Park, Scrubs, SNL and The Sheild. That is about it for current shows.
If we are talkin' about shows from any period: Ducktales, TMNT, A Different World, Dinosaucers, Denver The Last Dinosaur, Dinosaurs!, The Fresh Prince Of Bel Air, Hangin' With Mr. Cooper, Fat Albert, Salute Your Shorts, The Transformers, Go-Bots, The Adventures Of Brisco County Jr. and Tales From The Crypt.

Books:

I have read "Jurassic Park" over seven times. Yes, it is that good and I am that cool.
Also, Carl Hiaasen's "Sick Puppy" and "Basket Case" are fine reads. So are Dave Barry's "Big Trouble" and "Risky Business", Eric Garcia's "Annonymous Rex" and "Casual Rex" (dinosaur detectives disguised as humans!), Kool Moe Dee's "There's A God On The Mic", "Raptor Red" by paleontologist John Bakker and the book by Rev Run. When it comes to comics: I read Bone, Y the Last Man, TMNT Adventures and am a fan of DC's work.
Here are some of my favorite DC graphic novels in no particular order.
-Formerly Known As The Justice League
-The OMAC Project
-I Can't Believe It's Not The Justice League!
-Identity Crisis
-52
-Justice League: A New Begining
-Kingdom Come
-Lobo's Greatest Hits
-Villains United
-Showcase Presents: Elongated Man
-JLA Year One
-Death Of Superman
-Watchman
-Trinity
Even that "Countdown To Infinite Crisis" was a good 80 page read, until I finally got to page 80. Freakin' Dan Didio (the head of DC) sure hates Blue Beetle.

Heroes:

The Blue Beetle!

I'm talking about the second Blue Beetle,Ted Kord, the wisecracking version who ran around with Booster Gold. Some say he was a poor man's Batman, but he was so much more. I certainly don't remember Batman having any 'get-rich-quick' schemes that resulted in zany disasters. Beetle was also better than the average superhero because didn't have/need any powers, he relied on his wits and intuition. Beetle had heart... and a gun that shot gusts of air. Sure he also had a weight problem, heart condition, money problems and he kept getting beat up BUT he kept on coming back for more. He had so much determination, not even Doomsday could kill him... Doomsday just put him in a coma.
He created the Justice League's first security system, his genius saved the universe at the end of "The OMAC Project" and he even stopped Lex Luthor (by himself) in "Kingdom Come!"
Blue Beetle was a true hero, even up to the point where he got shot in the face.
R.I.P. Beetle.
