Hops a.k.a. "The Gooch" - ProfilesArchive

About Me

Hello to you all. My name is Daniel Hopkins, but I'm mostly known by either one of my nicknames. My friends where I live call me "Hops", and all my buddies on Newgrounds know me as "Gooch". Either way, it's all cool with me. I'm just a laid back guy that doesn't really get pissed off about a whole lot of things. I've been really into sports my entire life, not to mention music. I think 311 is probably one of the best bands I've ever heard, and definitely the best live.So yeah. That's about the extent of me. Just lounging around, enjoying life.

Heroes:

I've got a lot of heroes from a lot of different things. I guess I look up to my parents the most, since they were the ones that raised me. I also think that anyone who keeps me being the crazy dude I am, especially the comedians I watch on Comedy Central. I always like to "borrow" their material and say it off to people at school the next few days until I run the damn jokes into the ground.
