Two things my grandpa told me before he died, that I haven't told anyone, but want to share.

"There will always be someone who can do it better. But prove me wrong."

And

"There is someone out there who has it worse off than you. Never give up."

Good quotes. I especially like the first one.

Did you have a favorite TV show growing up?Foxbox Saturday morning cartoons really, Medabots, TMNT,Beetleborgs, Power rangers, ect ect

Song? Slim Shady LP, and also Linkin park Hybrid Theory

Best friend?I guess I'd have to say My friend Jose, I knew him since his brother liked to play pokemon, so we played and I came over to his out to play Pokemon stadium, and found out his older brother played too. We had a fight one day and Joey punched me, pretty hard too, so i was pissed and left, not sure how we became friends again but he apologized about it later, Still friends till this day, since Junior High.

Favorite food? I love fruits, Apples, oranges, strawberries, ect ect. Also I love Rotti(chicken, not goat) and Johnny cakes.

Who did you get in your first fight with? It was with a friend and classmate, not sure what happened but he ended up with a busted lip. After that it was a Blantant gay guy who though I wasted his lotion, I really didnt fight back, just too the hits because it really didn't hurt.

Who was your first girlfriend/boyfriend?4th grade, but I dont remember anything but a small peck, First real girlfriend was when I was 18, but it was shit from the get go, ended up only like a month.

Do you have a favorite relative?I love all of my family on my father's side, espically my grandmother, I love her dearly, and heh Right now i'm getting ready to go to her birthday party, She'll be 70 tomorrow.

Do you remember your best birthday party as a kid?I have shit memory, but I'll never forget when I did live in NY when I was younger, My father came dressed up as a clown to my school, never forget it.

Or as a teenager? I've had alot of shitty birthdays

Best present? Getting Metal Gear solid 2 on my birthday(Day after it came out) and also Getting Both Pokemon Red and blue.

First concert? The Fugees, Which is surpising since no huge artist like that ever visits or even has a concert in the USVI, but it was great, I met them after the concert and got their autographs, I remember having asthma at that time and still jumping up ect ect while using my pump every 5 mins

First kiss? First kiss was like when I was like 7, was a truth or dare then, back when i didnt like girls, cooties ect ect. First real kiss was when I was 18 with my first girlfriend.

Do you remember how you reacted when you experienced your first death in the family?My grandmother(motherside) I was pretty sad, Didnt think i would cry so much, and find out I hate her sister so much, which oddly enough looked excastly like her, it was freaky as fuck. At the casket when I first saw her I refused to go and kiss the body, I was one of the last ones, but when I saw her it didnt look like her at all, she was really pale ect. so it made it abit easier.

Where were you born? Charlotte, North Carolina.

Where did you grow up? Charlotte, NC in the Hidden Valley neighborhood. Snow White lane represent lol. Born and raised baby! Posting this because it sets the tone for most of the shit that you will see that I went though in my life...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LCYoPKyhDoU

What are you favorite childhood memories? Oh man I have loads but one of my favorites is when I went to Houston to see my dad one summer, (he lived with us but was away playing USFL football for the Houston Gamblers at the time) but he took me to NASA and to the Johnson space center when I was 10. From that point on I wanted to be an Astronomer or an Astrophysicist, a passion that still burns deep within me to this day if you haven't been able to tell.

I was a really outdoorsy type kid , I would spend 10+ hours outside during the summers catching Turtles, frogs, bats, snakes, toads and any other wildlife I could catch and examining them while taking notes. I also remember a particular time when my brother was stung on his arm by a wasp and I thought he was going to die. Needless to say I got PISSED because these perceived "pests" were fucking with the dominant species of earth and should be taught a lesson, so we decided to literally start a Mankind versus Wasp war to retaliate for the injustice that had been done to my brother. To make a long story short, we dual wielded a super soaker with a can of acrylic spray paint and began kicking the log in which the infidels lived, when all was said and done we both some 30 some odd stings each all over out bodies. Although we never conceded defeat, it's pretty telling who won that day.

Ok I had to add this one because it is relevant to me today, I remember the first time I heard aboit Evolution in 5th grade and became intrigued by it. I had this idea from Calvin and Hobbes, I was planning to spend an entire summer in my parents swimming pool in hopes of developing a set of Gills, webbed fingers and toes and hopefully a dorsal fin where my spine used to be before school was supposed to start for the 6th grade lol.

I remember it vividly, I ended up spending 13 hours in the pool the first day rarely stepping foot out, I peed in the pool and everything because I didn't want to interrupt the Darwinian changes my body was undergoing, what ended up killing it was when my parent got home from work I was still in there and wasn't feeling so well, I was trying to teach myself to shut down half of my body to rest while the other half stays alert for predators, much akin to the way Sharks and Dolphins do when they rest.

Anyway, my mom walks to the backyard because my fucking brother narcs on my dream to become a mutant for the beginning of school and she horrified at the sight on me floated naked, snoring in the pool with only my hand tethering me to the side of the pool. So you see, this Darwin thing is no joke at all, I live this shit. My mom told that story to anyone I ever brought over, but if you know me then you totally know how that makes complete sense.

Did you have a favorite TV show growing up? X-Men, Spiderman, Animaniacs, Histeria (I used to love Loud Kiddington and Miss Information) I loved Pinky and the Brain. Tiny Toons, Duck Tales, Chip and Dale's Rescue Rangers, Darkwing Duck, Tale Spin, Go bots, M.A.S.K, Transformers, Voltron, David the Gnome, The Noozles, Lil' bits etc... I could go on and on forever lol.

Song? Hmmm, I used to like Oochie Coochie by MC Brains because dude was pulling some fly honeys back in the day.

Best friend? A guy named Kevin Carter, hes in prison now for murder but he and I met when we were 7 and were BF's until I went off to College at the University of South Carolina. He and I started a Crawfish and Turtle catching club called TCM aka The Creek Motherfuckers when we were younger lol. To join you had to know the the lyrics to the WU Tang song C.R.E.A.M

Oddly enough he and I got busted cooking crack in his mothers kitchen when they got home from church. Goddamn man, me and that dude have been literally shot at, busted with weed and selling coke etc.... Thats my nigga though, its nice when someone has your back through thick and thin. We used to rock the Damage suits, Cross Coulor jumpers with the one strap hanging down, looking boss with our Box haircuts and shit. You can say what you want but he never ever once snitched on me or ratted me out even when I would run and get away, I ran track so I was 100x faster than he was. I miss that dude, its remarkable I turned out the way I did.

Favorite food? I LOVE seafood. I usually eat Fish, crabs, crawfish oysters etc... 3 or 4 times a week. I'm not really a meat person but goddamn I love Seafood and I love some goddamn Asparagus.

Who did you get in your first fight with? First fight? I don't know, I grew up in a baaaaaaaaaaad part of town called Hidden Valley, so fights and beefing with dudes was on the regular. My most memorable was getting into a fight with this guy named Courtney, I remember that one because I actually got detained for that one and he was shot and killed that night in an unrelated incident and I recall being asking by a cracka ass cops "tell the truth, did you have your crew or posse kill this nigger? He was only 15, talk to me boy."

I was like "dammnnnnn, people still use crews and posses?" What? I mean he was a nigga how was I going to get mad over that? Long story shit, no I had nothing to do with it but I chalked it up to Darwinism, that nigga "got it at the light like Cains cousin Harold". I registered and attended USC the following fall, odd huh?

Who was your first girlfriend/boyfriend? Nah, wasn't like that. I wasn't loving them hoes back then. I was trying to hustle and catching Turtles and shit.

Do you have a favorite relative? Yes, one of my uncles on my Dads side. He refused to judge me or throw me under the bus when I was doing dirt. He lives and lived in Alabama but came to my graduation, attended my Track meets, Football games and basketball games when he was in town. The rest of my family was all on my cousin who was the same age as I, they liked him better because he was "clean".

He's a crackhead now. They have been trying to contact me for the past 8 years, to no avail. I am extremely private unless you are someone I consider a friend, and once burned you're done. This train stops for no one. Hadn't called, stopped by or anything in 8 years, they got all shady and talking shit after my parents died. Fuck them, niggas always come around when its convenient. Funny how that works when I finally get money huh?

Do you remember your best birthday party as a kid? Or as a teenager? Yes, I got a 55 gallon tank for my 3 Alligator snapping turtles named Astor, NASA and Warsaw pact. I told you, I was a fucking nerd. This is when I was only 10.

Best present? I got a sweet ass Mongoose bike. Then a nigga I went to school with named Joey Nesmith stole it that next weekend. I mean that nigga was at my fucking party casing my shit. He's dead too now so I guess Darwinism is once again applicable.

First concert? Summer Jam, I went to see Domino (Sang Sweet Potato pie), Onyx, Boss, Leaders of the new school and the GREATEST GROUP EVER... A tribe called quest. OH MY GOD DUDE, AMAZING.

Do you remember how you reacted when you experienced your first death in the family? Sadly yes, my best friend in middle school was named Shavis, he was killed walking home one day after we left school by friends of that Courtney guy I mentioned earlier. All because he took up for a mutual friend of ours that was getting punked at school. They tried to steal his Starter coat and his Charles Barkley's. I was fucking devastating, I mean I was 12 and finally got the feelings of what its like to be here one min and gone the next.

But the one that still haunts me to this day is the death of my parents. I mean, sitting inside Bank of America stadium watching the Panthers play the Redskins and then having my brother call me on the phone to tell me my mom and dad were dead in teh middle of the 2nd quarter is gut wrenching, there literally are no words to describe the feeling of seeing your mom 2 hours earlier, seeing her smile and telling you she loves you as you walk away then getting that call that they were victims of a home invasion/murder.

The kicker is when she told me she loved me I kept walking and yet she kept smiling and simply nodded as I was being super macho, because her and I were at odds at the time over my then 22 year old brother still living at home mooching and how she was tough on me as the oldest. I figured "HA! Ill show this bitch, I just wont ever speak to her again" The joke ended up on me. That is my one regret in my life, that I was not man enough to push some petty shit like that to the side and hug her one last time, kiss here one last time, smell her one last time, eat her cooking one last time...

Fuck it, what can you do? I kick myself every single day of my life for that shit. I am the poster child for that, fuck whatever little drama you have going on dude, call your parents and tell them what they mean to you. As you see when MJ, you never know. This could literally be their last day on earth.

Yeah, I'm still haunted by that but I'm slightly better now, it'll be 5 years on August 2nd. The day after my daughters birthday...aint that great! Bit lemme tell you, they were religious as hell and I shadow boxed with "god" furiously for many weeks after that shit. But anyway, Moots set the Debbie Downer tone so I figured I'd follow suit and give you nerds something to think about.

It's funny seeing how the perceived scourge of BG (i.e. spam) show its human side for once. See, now I cant see Moots as a furfag anymore to be honest lol. Sorry to hear all that Moots.

[Mizango]

Holy shit thats alot..... Perhaps I should have just said "lol"?

[Chicomagiko]

Goddamn, I'm supposed to be the Happy Grillmaster today and yet I'm in tears... damn it all.

[gamez]

I was going to make a thread about posting your most embarassing shit/annoying personal habits but I decided against it, somebody else can do that one I don't want to be a thread-starter yet.

[Mizango]

S'all good dawg.

Woozie is my therapist, his life is just as messed up and parallels mine alot. All bullshit aside, it good to have someone understands 100%. You'd wonder how he and I ended up the way we did lol, we still cant figure it out. We're on some separated at birth type shit.

For that, I could never quit Wooz.

No homo.

[gamez]

I don't know about you, but I'm a paradox of my environment too, or perhaps not because I just acted in negative to everything around me because I saw all the bad shit that came with that sort of life style, and took every minimal action of potential consequence as a sign out.

e.g. I was raised around a fuck ton of grow ops, drugs, dealers of much worse, my friends were already pushing shit around in elementary school, but I moved away before that came back to myself, allowance paid through high-end prostitution(the kind of call girl who ends up at charity/conventions as a fake date, amidst a lot of shittier and lower clients).

I however, am reflectively a lazy gamer whom exhibits all the worst qualities of the pot-head nephew's dad who spent most his time with me, without the trouble or assholeness.

[Sera]

Where were you born?
Tampa Bay, Florida

Where did you grow up?
Richmond, Virginia (southside wut)

What are you favorite childhood memories?
I've repressed most of them. Occasionally I remember this or that.

Did you have a favorite TV show growing up?
Hmm... When I was a very little kid I watched a lot of Sesame Street, Captain Kangaroo and Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood. As I got older the only show I can say I really got excited for was Star Trek TNG. I'm sure I watched more TV than that, I just don't remember.

Song?
I'm pretty sound sensitive so my favorites change frequently. One that always remains a favorite? American Pie by Don McLean. Really it's the part at the end of the song where he talks about how the trinity got on a train for the coast that gets me.

Best friend?
My oldest one is John, we've been friends since 1st grade. He moved away to a different school district after 1st grade and I never thought I'd see him again. When I moved a year later, I ran into him at my new school. He used to slip me cheese crackers through the fence between our after school groups because mine always made "Bugs on a Log" and the three foods I hate the most are celery, raisins and peanut butter. His got cheese crackers, so he shared his snack with me.

Second best friend is Heather, you've seen a picture of her on here in the thread where Zalius talks about glasses. When I got divorced she was the only thing that held me together. She's loud, crude, and bossy -- but she is honest about who she is, and she'd kill anyone who messed with me. She's also the one who hates my ex-husband more than I do.

My third best friend is this douchebag guy who is losing his funny, but I love him anyway. His name's Paul. His mom makes fucking delicious food. He can make me laugh faster than anyone else on the planet, and I know I can say anything to him. Out of the three, I'm closest to him.

Favorite food?
I kind of go through phases. Last year, it was sushi. This year it is not. I always love cuban food. Actually, let's go with a cuban sandwich. More specifically, my tia makes a fucking delicious one, but I have to go to Tampa to get it.

Who did you get in your first fight with?
My mom. That's right. And she got what she fucking deserved. I was 14. She started it, like she did every day of my life. For once, I finished it.

Do you have a favorite relative?
My grandparents. Granny and Granddaddy are probably the awesomest people ever.

Do you remember your best birthday party as a kid? Or as a teenager?
I don't remember the party, but I remember the best present: my gran had wrapped a BIG box. I was disappointed because the thing I had asked her for wouldn't come in a box. I ripped the box open, and it was filled with newspapers. My gran bought me a daily subscription to the newspaper for a year. It was exactly what I asked for. I liked reading the paper. It wasn't the best present, but it was memorable because of the way she presented the gift.

Best present?
my NES. My gran and I played the games together, til she bought her own.

First concert?
Sorry to be a downer, but I can only remember the last one. No Doubt @ Virginia Beach. I'm going to see Aerosmith there on the 5th.

Do you remember how you reacted when you experienced your first death in the family?
No. But the first death I can still remember was my uncle. He was the baby of the family, a life riddled with drug problems and other bullshit, you know... but he was my friend, he was a guy I could go to and just say whatever was on my mind, and he didn't judge me for it, and usually had some deep shit to say about it to get me thinking. He died of a stroke at age 36. I was awakened by my cousin screaming into the phone "DAD ISN'T BREATHING, HE WON'T WAKE UP!" We raced across town to get there, and what I saw next was the the saddest thing I have ever seen in my life. My gran is pretty hard, she doesn't cry, she doesn't freak out, solid as a rock. I still well up thinking about how she sank to her knees when she walked through the door and saw his body lying on the floor of their living room where he'd died. She just draped herself over his body and screamed, and it was one of those screams that was all pain -- and just laid there over his body, sobbing. Even the paramedics cried.

[tyven]

miz im not reading your post, i dont need to see how a young black kid from a neighborhood named after some salad dressing beat the odds and became a network admin. fake ass nigga

[Antithesis]

Grew up: Miami, Florida (Westchester to be more exact.)

Did you have a favorite TV show growing up? Sailor Moon, Tenchi muyo, The Real Adventures of Jonny Quest, SWAT Kats, many more. If I had to pick one, probably Yu Yu Hakusho.

Song? "Puzzle" by Round Table feat. Nino

Best friend? Friends have been something I have had few and far between. Because I was pretty much at the bottom of the school hierarchy in every tier of school. Even the people on the bottom of the ladder were pretty much assholes. To be honest, from school, I have never had any good friends. Once I graduated, everyone I knew from school vanished. Only the friends I have made from my best friend do I consider good friends. I've only really had one best friend in my life, friend name Bobby (family friend) who I have known since before I was fucking born.

Favorite food? Palomilla Steak with white rice and french fries.

Who did you get in your first fight with? Never been in a fisticuffs fight so far. Rather not get on anyone's bad side and no one has pissed me off enough to go that far.

Who was your first girlfriend/boyfriend? As far as I am concerned, I still have no had one. But, I did have a "sort of" girlfriend in Middle school for three years. More or less just a front.

Do you have a favorite relative? My cousin use to be my favorite relative until he used my moms credit to buy a jet ski and made plot with his friends to steal it and get insurance money causing a whole shit ton of problems. I don't talk to him anymore.

Do you remember your best birthday party as a kid? All of my birthday parties were pretty cool so I defiantly don't have a favorite.

Or as a teenager? I'm not big on celebrating birthdays as a teen. A small get together with friends is more preferable.

Best present? Playstation 1 with a copy of Ape Escape for Christmas.

First concert? My first ever concert was a year ago. I went with my Best friend Bobby to an Opeth concert (even though I don't really like death / progressive metal that much.) Once Opeth came out, a mosh pit started in the center and I started freaking the fuck out at the amount of people in the pit. All in all, it was a fun experience.

First kiss? Once again, as far as I am concerned, I have not had one truly in my mind since everyone I have pretty much liked in my life who I have asked to go out with has rejected me. Now for a first kiss that didn't mean anything? With my girlfriend in Middle school.

Do you remember how you reacted when you experienced your first death in the family? When I hear someone has died, I usually just rub it off. It doesn't hit me instantly like everyone else. Progressively, I just notice it and then start feeling the effects. When my grandmother died, I didn't get sad at first, but I cried like a bitch at her funeral once it hit me she was dead as a doorknob.

Mootsfox story really makes me feel like a sack of crap. Really sad.

[Falisa]

When I hear someone has died, I usually just rub it off.

Thats pretty sick anti

[Tomiko]

Holy shit thats alot..... Perhaps I should have just said "lol"?

Who was your first girlfriend/boyfriend? Nah, wasn't like that. I wasn't loving them hoes back then. I was trying to hustle and catching Turtles and shit.

You always know how to make me laugh.

Song? Honestly, can't remember.

Best friend? Well, the guy I considered to be my best friend was a guy I knew named Robert Escamilla, met him in elementary school and chilled w/ him all through high school but after about half-way through senior year, we just stopped keeping up with each other, not sure what happened to be quite honest.

Favorite food? I like to say Pizza, but I don't even know for sure that it's true... I'm not too picky.

Do you have a favorite relative? Fuck yeah I do, my sister... we fought a lot as kids. We never got along unless we were making something or building computers together (as kids we didn't have enough money to get everything on our own but we were able to convince our parents to finance the shit if we worked on them together). She's actually the one who ordered my PSP for me tbh, I just paid her and she did everything, CFW, etc... not that I couldn't have, but she wanted to do it for me. She's just like that.

Do you remember your best birthday party as a kid? Or as a teenager? I've never liked parties, I always asked that no one throw me one.

Best present? My 32x, it's a long standing thing between my sister and I, we're silly. I gave it to her for her b-day knowing she didn't have a Genesis to play it with and on my b-day she gave it back. We've been regifting that to each other for years (along with real presents)
