1) what are your top three favorite artists/bands/musicians, and why?2) what are your top three favorite films, and why? 3) what are your top two favorite tv shows after Dr. Who, and why? 4) what are your top three favorite books, and why? 5) A year or so ago I recall you making posts to the effect that you're currently unemployed and looking for work with a master's degree in business, and using dealing in magic cards as a means of income while you search. If you don't mind my asking, do you think you could share what your situation's like now? Have things changed (for better or worse)? Has your goal changed? __________________ "I never got any respect at all. My family moved a lot when I was a kid, but I always found them." -- Rodney Dangerfield

Started playing right as The Dark came out, you know, the good days of Magic :/ As for artist, I have no idea. I like individual arts compared to one artist.

1)Aim to be Rich, not Wealthy 2) Punting College and not getting an internship ever, costing me now trying to get a real job compared to my consulting/business plan writing deal now 3) Get a career, that easy, once I have that everything else will be easy 4) Aside from those? JCMD can answer that one ....seriously though, I love this site and how it is, yes it needs some background and framework upgrade but the quality of intelligence of the regular posters is awesome. 5) Being efficient maybe? I just seem to find the easiest and quickest way to get work done correctly. Aside from that, I think I am a pretty sick Call of Duty player

Played him after you ran those sealeds on my account.
I have gotten over SCG for the most part. I think some of their aggressive moves aren't the best for the MTG secondary market, but as far as HATE, there are few people or things i do truely hate...like Mushrooms, can't stand them.

1) Stifle 2) Blue 3) Ironically to the answer above, Invasion era Fires. OR just Team America 4) Legacy by far. 5) Find away to get Vintage more mainstream played or supported without overly raising the prices of cards

1) 30 Seconds to Mars, The Killers, Billy Joel. For the first 2 bands I love me some emo-ish rock music. The first CD I ever owned was the Billy Joel best of collection volume 3. Karoke every year at WVU I would "We Didn't Start the Fire" flawlessly, and then immediately black out. 2) This one is hard. Maybe, Big Trouble in Little China, Tron: Legacy, and X-Men First Class? I just like movies in general and picking one is hard. 3) Haha, um, that are on currently? Big Bang Theory and Chuck? As for ones off the air that would be LOST, 24, and Smallville easily 4) A Clockwork Orange, 1984, and Fahrenheit 451. 5) Well, even back then I was consulting part-time but it was only like 15 hours a week but $25/hr. Now after about 2 years of doing this I am starting to see some interest in me. I have also been writing Business Plans on the side for people as well. I even have an interview this week but if this recent downgrade effects my prospects I am flying to DC knocking some sense into the politicians. I am probably moving home with my mom for a month or 2 to pad my bank account with Magic and then in October find a new place because my mom and I can't live together. I got her stubbornness and it is a battle at all points.

On a general NTRP scale, what would you rate yourself? 8. Milk chocolate or dark chocolate? 9. Pie, Cake, brownie, or cookie?

1) I play a ton of Call of Duty. Is sending out resumes count as a hobby? I write business plans for friends. Just normal guy stuff. 2) I read sometimes. Mostly magazines like Entrepreneur and Men's Health 3) I am not smart enough to make those decisions. I just go along with WoTC on it.

1) No clue, it was just something simple. I am 27 btw. 2) Nooooooooo 3) They were incredibly helpful 4) Pancakes and hush puppies 5) I don't think I can make a fair assessment due to when I got it and the economy's situation at that point 6) Off the top of my head, Kibler and Yurchick at least. Probably others, I don't really pay attention to who is a pro or not. 7) At WVU, probably 4.0, now? I am 3.0, maybe 3.5 once I get things going again 8) Neither? 9) Subway Chocolate Chip Cookies

Stu,Realize you may have answered some of these q's already, but humor me a bit! Favorite food? Ten favorite movies? When did you get into Magic cards and who/how did you get involved? Are we (America) going into a depression? Where do you see the future of America's economy and general state heading and what could be done, in your opinion, to better it? And an extra that we'll have to talk about later, what's up w/ the thing you mentioned at the SCG tourney?

Bruce Willis easily. I don't think JCMD would be smart to handle the Glass man character I am at like 10% done with it. Gotta pimp the cube right? I think it got the job done, and wouldn't mind seeing it back Coolest place? Not even sure really...Been kicked out of bars before I guess. quote: Originally posted by Thanos: How much do you love me?
