Welcome to my world.
I'm SomeGuy, 29 years old, residing in Vancouver, BC, Canada. I've studied English Literature, Chinese Martial Arts, and am currently pursuing careers in writing - possibly even in the anime industry itself.
And I work for this site.
And you should be watching Beck: Mongolian Chop Squad.
Or watching Ranma 1/2.
Or learning about the Shinsengumi.
Or planning to visit Vancouver, The Best Place On Earth (actual marketing motto).
Here at the "Smallville" page, I have my personal blog where I'll post about anything and everything. If ya need me or otherwise need to know anything from/about me, here's where I'll be.
If you're really looking for my more professional, site-type stuff, you wanna head over my "Metropolis" world.

The moon is a dick and is hiding. So much for once in a lifetime opportunities . . .
In other news, the last of the mail went out yesterday. I imagine it'll be late. Such is how we roll.
I've got a sandwich on the grill, so I'll be quick. The X-Men arcade game came out on PSN and we've been playing it.
My buddy's son has also gotten in on it (legit, he picked up the controller, turned it on . . . and spent the next while punching the air on the spot).
Buddy has photographic proof too:
So yeah. Matthew's growing up geeky. And we're fine with that.
EDIT: Editing for posterity: it's about 6:25am right now and there's a fire alarm going on in the neighbourhood. I also heard sirens. What the hell, Marpole?
Continental United States, females, is now covered though I fear I rushed through the customs sheet too much and may complicate things slightly.
All that's left now is continental United States, males, aaaand . . . domestic!
Haha . . . and THEN I can hurry up and finish shopping for all my actual LOCAL people!
Oh Christmas . . .
Europe and Australia are accounted for. Now I gotta get off my ass and package up all the continental mail . . . things are seeming less and less likely to arrive on time now.
D'oh.
Also, for posterity, the Terri-Tab is paid in full. Said Terri is quite pleased now.
Also, Indi's preggers. Ain't that wild?
Beyond how insanely cute that movie was and how much I enjoyed it, there was one other thing about it that the Kiddo and I found hilarious . . .
Examples of actions seen in "Tangled":
- Climbing tall towers.
- Escorting individuals whilst remaining inconspicuous.
- Running along rooftops.
- Leaping, swinging, climbing, and platforming in general.
- Riding horses atop castle walls.
- Walking about during public festivals with post-dawn lights.
- Evading guards armed with crossbows.
- Battling multiple guards at once, fighting them one by one with counterattacks.
- Escaping guards with help from burly mercenary types.
- Walking about equipped with side swords or longswords.
- Stabbings from behind whilst unseen.
- Tearing down "Wanted" posters.
Evidently, this movie may as well have been the kid-friendly version of ASSASSIN'S CREED!
Except for this one point when they were running away from massive calamity and he leaped forward and landed into a shoulder-roll before continuing to run. That part was Uncharted. The rest was definitely Assassin's Creed, however.
