1. I got the nickname in high school and have been using it ever since 2. I'm a huge sports fan but not as much as I used to be. All of these strikes and petty squabbling during the recession is absurd. I haven't kept up with hockey since the Red Wings were on a hot streak with The Cup and that one guy gave his baby a bath in it. For baseball it was when the Fab Four were on the braves, and for football it was back when Elway ruled the NFL. 3. In high school I played varsity soccer, baseball, lacrosse, basketball, and soccer. I would have played soccer in college but a soccer injury prevented me from it. 4. Worst = foreign language, Best = psychology/marketing

1. lightning bolt 2. red 3. my old B/G stompy deck back when UZ first came out. 4. limited 5. I'd get rid of the increasing frequency they print new sets (especially core sets) and promotional sets. This pattern will ultimately lead to overproduction and cause similar effects to MM and the sports card industry in the early 90s.

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?

1. Sushi 2. ten? Boondock saints, Boondock Saints All Saints Day, District B13, The Losers, Good Will Hunting, Snatch, The Rock, City of God, Battle Royale, History of the World Part II. 3. I got into magic on the release day of Revised. 4. America has been in a depression for awhile now. Things won't get fixed up top until we hit rock bottom and see complete economic collapse. That's corruption and greed at it's finest. 5. I could do a ton to fix the economy, create jobs, make SS solvent, etc. Been drafting plans for years now and am attempting to get into the political consulting arena. I'm even planning on writing a book about it.

1. Always strive to improve yourself. Take what others say with a grain of salt and continue to improve. You can't change yourself overnight but work at it a little bit each day. 2. The failures themselves are not important. We all make mistakes and nobody is perfect. Analyze your failures, find out what went wrong, and get up and try again. If you still can't succeed, either keep trying or move on. Don't waste your life trying to fix a single failure or shortcoming. 3. Political consulting and public policy. I eventually want to create more efficient systems for the government and its people. 4. There's a lot of things I'd like to see changed. If I can ever actually reach leshrac, I may just be able to do them myself. 5. Logic, reading people, and thinking outside the box. quote:

I never knew either of them. But the beef is in the freezer right now so I can make korean short ribs.

Heh, I remember when you told me you were "thinking" of starting to sell mtg and buy collections back when I was a mod at the wizards forums. Did you ever think you'd cone this far with it?

Do you believe one man can make a difference, or is it the group effort of many?Is the 'Occupy wall street' movement going to have any effect on the political/corporate greed? Is violence sometimes the answer? Should cigarettes be illegal? Marijuana legalized? Alchohol? And finally: Would you rather spend your waking hours working for the betterment of mankind, or spend them with your family?

I'm actually farther than I had expected to be when I started. Given there have been some hiccups, when it comes to expectations I generally always exceed them.

1. One man can make a difference but it takes a group of those with the power to effect that change willing to listen. I know this because I have drawn up plans myself for improvement on a variety of fronts, but people either want free ideas, or aren't willing to listen. 2. OWS is a joke. The concept of protest is great, but unless you can get an organization behind it you just have a bunch of disorganized and varied opinions that make it look like a joke. We need change, but the process they're taking is hilarious. They're causing more jobs to be lost than gained. Also, OWS was actually a canadian idea and many protest organizers are claiming it's an american concept. 3. Violence is only the answer as a last resort. shooting somebody in texas because they're on your lawn should carry the death penalty. 4. no on cigs, yes on bud, no on alcohol on a legal standpoint. On a practical standpoint as they are now I'd say yes to all but with greater regulation. Just because something is illegal, it's a drain on resources to fight a war you're losing. If you can't beat it, tax it. I'm not saying that they can't cause problems or can't be abused. But sometimes you have to make concessions.
