I guess if I had to wear a costume I would go as a fat Darth Vader.

2) Fall is fast approaching, what do you like best about the season?
The weather. It's not too hot and it's not too cold yet. It's just, cool. :cool:

3) What's your dream job and what are you doing to make it a reality?
I would like to work in radio or a recording studio. I haven't really done anything to try to make it a reality yet.

4) If you had to pick a movie that summed up you and your life experiences, what would it?
It's not a movie but, Freaks & Geeks. I have a few things in common with both of the Weir siblings.

1) What character would you most likely dress up as if you attended a sci-fi/comic convention in costume?

I'd have to dress up as Henchman 21 because its probably the only thing I could pull off.

2) Fall is fast approaching, what do you like best about the season?

I like the musty smell of the leaves after a storm.

3) What's your dream job and what are you doing to make it a reality?

I'd really like to make movies, but failing that I would really like to build/fix computers. I'm working with a couple of friends so we can write a script and shoot it with my camera. In the next year or so I'd like to get my MCSA certification.

4) If you had to pick a movie that summed up you and your life experiences, what would it?

A movie that sums up my life experiences. . .tough to say. I don't really know of a movie that can sum up the dysfunction that is my life.

5) How far is too far?

Invading my personal space in a way that is not enjoyable.

The cold! Yes, I'm strange like that.

3) What's your dream job and what are you doing to make it a reality?

I always wanted to draw for 2000ad. I use to send off samples of my work. Got a script back once but royally screwed it up. That was maybe 3 years back. I need/want to sit back down and create some pages to send off. I enjoy their feedback.

4) If you had to pick a movie that summed up you and your life experiences, what would it?

Good question! Hmm, Alien 3 - it's not bad, but nothing spectacular either - my life so far.

5) How far is too far?

Just beyond the lake where the sewage works are. That's where Pennywise lives.

Moonknight; always dug his costume. Barring that, Adam West's Batman.

3) What's your dream job and what are you doing to make it a reality?
Lottery winner. Not doing much to achieve that; I barely buy tickets. Barring that, I want Andy Warhol's old job of being a complete loon who's crap people bought like it was gold. I'm doing nothing towards that goal either for fear it will come true.

1) What character would you most likely dress up as if you attended a sci-fi/comic convention in costume?

I've been thinking about this for awhile. Definitely someone from The Venture Brothers. I'm too tall to be 21. Too fat to be 24. Not muscular enough to be Brock. I'd probably go as King Gorilla.

2) Fall is fast approaching, what do you like best about the season?

Not a damn thing. But as it gets colder there are less people handing around outside. Which I like.

3) What's your dream job and what are you doing to make it a reality?

Security guard. Nothing. I should get a gun.

4) If you had to pick a movie that summed up you and your life experiences, what would it be?

I don't think people are ready for that movie.

Too far would be if you died.

Because bold is too loud, I'm going to break the trend and use italics.

1) What character would you most likely dress up as if you attended a sci-fi/comic convention in costume?
The Monarch, hands down. I got the ridiculously long body and evil grin for it. Plus I wouldn't have to get rid of too much of my beard.

2) Fall is fast approaching, what do you like best about the season?
Football season. I used to be a more casual fan of ol' pigskin, then my uncle decides to buy NFL Season Pass. Now I watch every other game.

3) What's your dream job and what are you doing to make it a reality?
Used to be to work in film, which I do now and still enjoy immensely. Writing for a comedy series is the other dream job, but I haven't written anything in a year.

4) If you had to pick a movie that summed up you and your life experiences, what would it be?
American Psycho... although that has mostly to do with the bank I use.

1) What character would you most likely dress up as if you attended a sci-fi/comic convention in costume?
I'm not really into that.

2) Fall is fast approaching, what do you like best about the season?
Football, wearing light jackets and sweaters. Keeping warm in the colder times.;)

3) What's your dream job and what are you doing to make it a reality?
Most of my life I had always wanted to be a professional artist. That changed over the years and I got lazy. I realized that making a living off drawing is difficult unless you put your all into it which I wasn't doing. Then for a long period of time I had no clue as to what I wanted to do. After doing a bunch of research for something that pays well, I have a few ideas which appeal to me. One is a physical therapist. The other is Engineering which is a hell of a lot more difficult but if I can do it, I know I will earn a good living. I have researched a few good schools in New York for each of those professions and I am going to take courses and go for both and see what happens. In the meantime I am going to get a few licenses and go for a sweet job that will keep me going in the meantime while taking night courses. I was never money driven like other people but at the same time I realize how damn important it is now a days so I'm just going to man up and give it all a shot. As for the art, a friend mentioned that our school does live drawing every Wednesday so I am going to go with her and brush up on my skills. I find it very motivating to have friends who are into drawing. I will keep that as a hobby and if I can make a few extra bucks in the process, why not?

4) If you had to pick a movie that summed up you and your life experiences, what would it be?
Nothing nails it. There are at least half a dozen which I could name.

5) How far is too far?
There is nowhere on this planet that is too far.

If I was to dress up I'd go as the Joker. I am trying to see if I can get some good stuff together so I can do it for Halloween.

I forgot to say one of the most important things that I'm doing to achieve my dream job is that I've cut out all the bullshit. I've stopped smoking bud completely, I drink Rarely, stopped watching t.v. all together pretty much, and I'll watch movies only in a while.. So I minimized on all the distractions and I have no excuses.

Have you stopped pooping? I find it quite distracting.
