[color=darkgreen][size=1] My name is Mike. I really don't mind if my real name is used online, seeing as how nobody knows my last name anyways. I'm 16 right now, making this my third year on the OBs (on and off). I live in the South Carolina right now, though my location is known to change often. I am an Army brat. Because of this, I've spent a good portion of my life following my father around from place to place. While I am upset that I had to leave so many of my friends and loved ones behind EVERY time we moved, I am glad I had the opportunity to travel so much and see the world. It's because of this that I am who I am today. I'm a good people person and I also have a high respect of anyone of a different culture. My travel's have lead me all over Eastern America, Germany (where I lived for 2 1/2 years), Romania, Greece, France, and a few stops at other European countries. My father has since left the Army for the Army National Guard as a recruiter. We now have a more stable life risk free of moving again for a while. Myself in personality, I am varied person. I have an outlook on life not to take anything too seriously. I just want to enjoy myself and try to keep myself out of stress, though I find myself in it often. I enjoy writing and drawing whenever I'm feeling creative or bored. I'm also an avid gamer, otaku, and comicbook nerd. I have a deep interest in theology, mythology, history, and martial arts. I read and have read quite alot about each of those subjects. Most of this research goes into my writing. To keep myself active and for sheer enjoyment, I practice Tae Kwon Do at a do-chang (studio) down my road. I am currently a 3rd degree red belt. One more degree and I test for black. Tae Kwon Do and the pursuit of martial arts have led me to a better understanding of other people's aggresion, and have given me a great deal of confidence, which I lacked in my younger years. It's pretty fun knowing you can kick a person in the head at any moment. I'm very... strange, people say. I'm always joking around about everything. I never let a person's words personally offend me, so it's pretty hard to kill my buzz. And as 'fun' a person I may sound like, I really hate theme parks. Rollercoasters and other rides that involve me being otherwise 'out of control' of my body tend to scare the hell out of me. I will, however, do just about anything else. I play a number of sports, usually individual ones, just for enjoyment. Basketball, bowling, and paintball are fun. I also like to swim, seeing as how my house has pool. I may be what some people call 'lazy', but that's just because I don't like doing boring work, so I try to weasel my way out of it as much as possible. It might be because of this that I am unemployed right now. However, since my Dad's favorite hobbies are yardwork and building onto our house, he keeps me pretty busy and well paid. And that, my friends, is the Boss.[/color][/size]

[center][B][U]Rad Squad: Agents of Action[/B][/U] [size=1] [color=red](Rated M for Extreme Radness and Action-Packedness.) [/color] In the rad year of 1985, the government agency[B] B.A.D.A.S.S.[/B] came together to form a squad of super bad dudes and dudettes to handle the worlds most dangerous problems. After scanning the globe, [B]B.A.D.A.S.S.[/B] found a squad of different people who truly were at the peak of radness. Each agent holding their own super bad *** skills, they were put into action to take care of the world?s worst threats with maximum kick assness. They were called... [B]Rad Squad[/B]. Headed and founded by [B]Super Secret Agent John Rambo[/B], [B]Rad Squad[/B] eliminated all that was not rad in the eighties with zero tolerance. They were the best of the best... the raddest of the rad. Their first mission took place in the jungles of Panama. Their objective was to explode a drug cartel deep in the jungle. The evil drug dealers had at their side an army of[B] killer zombie jaguars with laser beams in their eyes[/B]. The [B]Rad Squad [/B]got the job done in an hour (smoke break included, cuz those rad dudes totally smoke stogies). In the end, the drug cartel was destroyed, and Rad Squad was congratulated by [B]President Reagan [/B]himself.... and [B]Kiss[/B] was there too. [B]Rad Squad[/B] continued awesome missions such as this as time passed, and the eighties were a totally chill decade due to their efforts. Into the 90's, the world slowly lost it?s need for[B] Rad Squad[/B]. It seemed all that the Squad did it?s job too well, and all that was not rad was now gone all together. A new generation of totally rad ***** were in effect. Teams such as [B]?The Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers?[/B] and [B]?The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles? [/B]forced the [B]Rad Squad[/B] to retire. And so,[B] Rad Squad[/B] disbanded. Each of it?s members went their separate ways, to continue their rad ways of life. And so, they tunneled their way into obscurity and it seemed.... Old School radness was lost forever. And that was definitely not cool. The year is now 2007. The world is nearly devoid of all radness. [B]Rad Squad [/B]is but a thing of the past, out of all government records. But a new threat has hit the world. International terrorist extrodinaire, [B]Osama Bin Laden[/B] has kidnaped the [B]Governator, Arnold Schwarzneggar[/B]. His motivations are unknown, but they are most definitely not rad. Many attempts have been made to rescue the governator from his desert prison, however all have failed. Armed with an army of terrorists and [B]Robot Ninja Grizzly Bears[/B], [B]Bin Laden [/B]refuses all negotiations until his demands are met. Only one team could possibly get the job done. [B]Rad Squad[/B] is once again called to duty, to defend the world against all that is uncool and not rad. [B]Armed with exploding chainsaw launchers, super karate kicks, and unmatched skills in bad assness, Rad Squad is back in action, and radder than ever...[/B] ---------------------------------------------------------- [/center][/size] [color=darkgreen][size=1] *Okay. So, this is obviously a comedy. Have fun. Be rad. Don't be afraid to go over the top and do generally crazy stuff. Your in Rad Squad.

[B]Gender:[/B] Super Dude [B]Physical Description:[/B] [URL=http://garfieldridge.typepad.com/photos/uncategorized/chuck_norris.jpg]The Rad Commander![/URL] [URL=http://images.art.com/images/-/Chuck-Norris--C10039396.jpeg]With Hat[/URL] [B]Special Skill:[/B] Captain of the Rad Squad. All around rad dude. [B]Weapon(s):[/B] Martial Arts Master. Super Karate Kicks. Mega Kung Fu Chops. [B]Personality:[/B] A level headed master mind. He can handle any situation thrown at him while shaving. Chuck Sirron is possibly the toughest man you are likely to meet. Eats nails and craps screws, Mr. Sirron doesn't like to dalley around. He's a 'get the job done' kinda guy. A cold stare from him has caused lesser men to break down in tears. He's also quite the lady's man, his chest hair is a potent aphrodisiac as is his silky smooth voice. Mr. Sirron is not a man to ever... ever be taken lightly. [B]Short Bio:[/B] Very little is known about Mr. Sirron, as he never talks about himself. Rumor has it that he once snapped a man's neck for asking him his address. So all there that is left are rumors. It's said that Chuck's parents where both martial arts masters. It is obvious that they passed their teachings onto their son. It is said that on a family camping trip, Chuck's parents where killed by grizzly bears... other rumors say it was ninja's.... other rumors say it was robots. Nobody knows the real story, but never the less, Mr. Sirron has a deep hatred for all three and any combination of them. And so, Mr. Sirron was left an orphan. He learned to survive in the wilderness by himself. After about 3 years of eating raw deer and drinking river water, Chuck was found my a kindly woodsman who raised the boy into his teen years. At the age of 16, Mr. Sirron ran away and joined the army. He served in the Vietnam War for 3 years as a green beret. Here, he earned his reputation as a warrior. It is said that he once led an attack on a viet-cong outpost barehanded and won. Due to this story, he was recruited by the CIA and was made a super secret agent. He spent the years betweem 1975 to 1984 as a spy and assassin. All stories of his exploits from this era are gone, seeing as how all parties involved, he killed. In 1984, Mr. Sirron became the captain of the government outfit, [B]Rad Squad[/B]. After Rad Squad disbanded, Mr. Sirron traveled to Texas, were he became a State Ranger. Going by the Alias, Walker, Mr. Sirron kept the state chill for several years. Then, one day, the Rad Alarm went off... [B]Character Snippit:[/B] Chuck Sirron was sitting in the kitchen of his humble cabin deep in the Texas wilderness. He was enjoying a nice bowl of nails (no milk) when he heard a familiar noise, which startled him: *"It's the Eye of the Tiger! The Thrill of the Fight!"* It was the [B]Rad Alarm![/B] Chuck lept into action and ran to his closet. Opening it up, he saw the red box phone which was the Rad Alarm pulsating a red glow. Picking up the line he spoke... "Chuck Sirron, reporting for duty..." "Mr. Sirron... Your services are needed. Your orders are to re-assemble the [B]Rad Squad[/B] and report to [B]B.A.D.A.S.S.[/B] HQ ASAP!" "Yes sir, Agent Rambo..." "Dismissed, Mr. Sirron." Chuck hung up the Rad Phone, and stepped away from his closet. Cracking his neck, he proceeded to dress himself in his leather jacket. He made his way out of the door, grabbing his trusty cowboy hat. He then hopped in his super-rad pick up truck with monster tires, and closed the door. Starting the massive vehicle with a monsterous roar and he made his way out. It was time to get the old team back together. [B]Rad Squad[/B] was back again. [/color][/size]

[color=darkgreen][size=1] The weirdest manga I've ever read is also one of my favorite mangas, [B][color=darkred]Hellsing[/B][/color]. It seems the actual story is in the passenger seat as the whole thing is driven by graphic violence and seeing "what bad-a** stuff is Alucard going to do next". I really enjoy the series, and the actual story is really good, but I noticed that nearly half of volume 5 is taken up by a scene were Alucard [spoiler]dispatches a single person in a slow, torturous manner[/spoiler]. Another strange series is [B][color=black]Samurai Champloo[/B][/color]... I don't know. It's great and all, but it's just weird sometimes. Alot of inside jokes and what not. Alot of modern day humor placed in Edo-Era Japan.[/color][/size]

[color=darkgreen][size=1] I know I've read an Ayn Rand novella. I can't remember the name, though (I read it over a year ago), however the story is fresh in mind. About a worker in a utopian society without individuality. In fact, people were not allowed to refer to themselves as "I", "Me", or anything else. The main character refers to himself as 'We' and 'Us'. Every person in the society believes themselves to all be part of a hive mind with no thought unshared. Every person was assigned a job, and went by names such as "Unity-90012" or "Faction-12330" and what not. The whole book is told through first person, and follows the protagonist's discovery of individuality and the world outside of his untopia. It's kind of like a shorter, more intellectual "The Giver". There are a few things that must be known about Ayn Rand to understand her works. She was an athiest, she was born in the Soviet Union, and she was married to an American (living in New York City I believe). Alot of her works are based around an anti-communist message. She believed deeply in individuality and promoted the arts in all forms. So, most of her work is about a message that people should be allowed to pursue their own ambitions in life, regardless of the skills they possess or what job they may be good at. So, basically, her message was that of anti-communism/totalitarianism/fascism. My views are basically the same as hers, I guess. No body should be forced into any line of work, regardless of how good it may be for the society as a whole. If it means the lost of individuality, then I'm against. P.S.- Yeah. I read the[B] "Anthem"[/B]. That's it.[/color][/size]

[color=darkgreen][size=1] Martial Arts tends to supply you with many painful experiences. Alot of sparring accidents. Alot of connecting shins at high speeds. Alot of kicks to the loins. Generally, my shins are now deadened nerve-wise, because I don't use guards. Alot of large lumps, to say the least. Failed board breaks tend to suck pretty hard aswell. Other than that, I've had a couple other painful experiences. Waking up in the middle of my tonsel removal wasn't fun, but I was still pretty out of it. Stepping on an upright nail as a child, bare foot. Cutting my thumb with a saw (left a scar). Burning my hand on the oven. Falling onto my arm, breaking the forearm, while skating. Basketballs to the face while going for the rebound. Tae Kwon Do master's example... no further explanation is needed. Blood blister on the man parts... don't want to remember. My father's famous bear hug... I thought I was going to black out. Oh, and braces sucked. I was alergic to the dime they were made out of ironically, so I had to spend three years of my life with reoccuring ulcers in my mouth, one which grew to the size of the tip of my pinky finger. I could stick my tongue in the crap. Eating was a terrible experience. That's over now, thank god.[/color][/size]

[color=darkgreen][size=1] I'm glad to hear that, actually. It's good that we continue on with our lives. Nobody can really ever know for sure if there is a God or not. It's just something we all have to find within ourselves, I believe. And when bad things happen, you just gotta look forward to a brighter tomorrow. I guess thats why I believe, because I just want to believe it won't all end in death, and all my experiences in life would have been for nothing. I just want the journey to continue. But yeah, I believe we both have a better understanding of one another, now. Good talking.[/color][/size]

[color=darkgreen][size=1] Super Rad Boss Force!!! HAH! Congratulations! You can now play DDR for six hours straight! Your lighting quick feet now explode upon the DDR board as you keep stepping for a blistering 6 hours. However, you move so quickly that you enevatably set your own feet on fire. The fire spreads and you are set ablaze. Congrats! You just burned to death. [B]I wish I could go back in time and stop Kennedy's assassination.[/B][/color][/size]

[color=darkgreen][size=1] I can very much so sympathise with you, [B]KatanaViolet[/B]. Believe me, I've lost alot of people that were close to me. Most recently was my Grandmother, basically my third parent. She supported everything I did and watned to do with my life. She never did anything but show me love. 2 years ago, she had contracted lung-cancer, and she came and lived with me and my family for the remainder of her life. For a full year, I had to watch my grandmother, a person I loved very dearly, slowly decay in front of me. She lost alot of weight, she lost all of her hair due to the chemo-therapy, and she became generally weak. At one point in time, while my parents were gone, I came into the kitchen to find her on the ground. She had collapsed and I had to help her back to the coach. That was the scariest thing I've ever experienced in my life. As time went on, she couldn't do anything by herself. She eventually had to be taken care of by a hospis (SP?) nurse while living with us. When the time came, she went slowly. I was at her bed side, and my house was filled up with my family. I held her hand as she passed away, balling. That was the most I ever cried in my life. And believe me, I'm not a crier. When it was all said, done, and she was legally dead, she had left me her most prized possession. Her Bible. A book she had read everyday of her life, no matter what. She had kept the book since she was very young. It was many years old. See, the only thing she ever asked me to do, is believe in God, be a good person in life, and be willing to stand up for myself and my beliefs when the time came. So, she left me this Bible, filled with notes, highlights, and such. It is now my most prized possession. See, I'm not even a very [B]'relegious[/B]' person in the traditional sense. I don't attend church, and I had never really picked up a Bible in my life. But I cannot bring myself to believe that their is no God in this world. I just simply can't. One may say, "Well, if God were so great, then why didn't he cure the cancer?". Well, my grandmother was a very relegious woman. Her husband had left her early in life, and she spent most of her lifetime taking care of her children and grandchildren. The only thing I think she ever really wanted was to be at one with God. And her wish has been granted in my eyes. Yes, I am very sad that she won't be there with me as I get married, or graduate high school, or any of that. I'm sad she's not going to be here to be with my brothers as they grow up. But I know she is watching, or atleast, I feel that that she is. And I can make peace knowing that in my heart, she is with God, and she is happier than she ever could be. I have other relatives who have passed aswell. My second aunt, who treated me like her own child died early in life, leaving behind her daughter, Raven and husband. There are others, but I'll spare you. I understand what you may be going through. I understand that you could be angry with God. I was for sometime myself, but I've made peace with him. I don't blindly follow God. I've done a lot of soul searching to make me believe in God. It's not just something that I just knew would have to be. I thought about it deeply, and I still do. My current beliefs are the product of that deep meditation of mind. I misunderstood what you were trying to convey, I'll admit, but I'm just saying that you could have worded some things better. Also, I can't stand those uber-christians who hate all other relegions too. I'm not trying to argue with you about anything. I'm not trying to push any of my thoughts onto your mind. I'm just defending my beliefs and letting you know that if you did believe in God, it is okay to be angry with him. But forgiveness is a good quality to have.[/color][/size]

[color=darkgreen][size=1] Elfen Lied and Hanibashi, this thread is for [adult swim]'s comedy line up, not anime. That's what the Anime Lounge is for. Shows such as InuYasha and Evangelion are anime. This thread is for shows such as Family Guy and what not. American mostly. By the way. Are their any [B]Minoriteam[/B] fans in the house? This is a pretty good show they got going now.

[color=darkgreen][size=1] If you read my earlier posts, then you'll see your basically spot on with what I believe. I just have a more open mind to the fact that their is, or atleast may be, a God. But yes, your around the same area as me, Shinji.[/color][/size]
