About Me

If you have ever seen a person spinning so fast they were a blur as they shot past you... it was probably me. A lot of people have seen me dancing like some wild banshee on amphetamines. But that was just me, being wild in my own way. My wife says the way I dance is both intriguing and scary...which is entirely my intent. My friends call me "Crazy Jim" and that's how most people know me. Most people who see me out have not been formally introduced since I am usually spinning too fast to approach (no... seriously) so people invent nicknames for me since they do not know my real name. The nicknames I have heard are Crazy Jim, Twister, Sling Shot, Jungle Jim, Spineless Jim (for the way I dance, like having a Rubber Soul), Goofball & S_x Machine. It's no coincidence that all these names involve motion. One time, a person approached me when I was sitting down at a table and asked if I was the guy who was always dancing at Dead Set. I replied "Yes, I'm that guy!" to which he responded "I almost didn't recognize you! I've never seen you sitting down!!!" The other thing that I do is I tend to vanish if you look away.
