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.

Fist bump me, Great One, for I have playoffed. It's been twelve days since my last shave...
Okay, I think I have it figured out. I need to wear a green shirt on game days so we have a better chance of winning. Games 3 and 4, I wore a blue shirt and we got spanked. Last game I had a blue shirt under my work shirt (which is currently green) and we squeaked another 1-0 to bring the series to 3-2. So it's gotta be the green shirt.
Also, yesterday morning I parted my hair on the left instead of the usual right. I'll do that on Monday as well - couldn't hurt.
Seriously, 'Nucks, I would be super appreciative if you could finish this series in Boston on Monday. I have that day off and would love to have a party downtown with 80,000 other people all happy about the same thing. If you force it to game seven, I don't get off work until after the second period. I would much rather not have to do that, if that's at all possible.
Anyway, 14 years ago Vancouver got into a position like this and failed (fucking Rangers . . .). Let's give 'er another go . . .
Seriously Vancouver. You need to stop breaking our souls with these long, scoreless games and then only finally scoring the one and only goal in the LAST MINUTE of play. Seriously.
Whatevs. We were downtown when it happened. Downtown was crazy. Hilarity ensued.
One down, three to go . . . also, I hear New York and the rest of the Eastern Conference is cheering for Vancouver. I have no problem with that.
The Canucks have FINALLY won the playoff series against the Blackhawks. It only took overtime in game 7 after going into game 4 with a three win lead.
Idiots. See, this is why it's so hard to be a Canucks fan. When they're good, they're great . . . then they let you down hard like an anvil suspended by a lead balloon caught in the planet Jupiter's gravity.
So seriously. About goddamn time, Vancouver.
So I shall celebrate with a giant 1 liter can of Asahi that I bought in Seattle.
Seriously, Uwajimaya is the greatest store ever.
Anyway, I'll start writing up those con reports maybe tonight.
We go into the third period 3-0 against Slovakia. So far so good. About ten minutes in the Slovaks nail a goal. Dang. Alright, fair enough. . .
. . . a few minutes later, they score again. Alright, this is getting a little scary here . . . . .
. . . the final 2 minutes of regulation, the Slovaks have turned Roberto Luongo's net into a shooting gallery. Scariest damn 2 minutes of the whole night.
So Canada still won, and we shall have our rematch against the US on Sunday. This is good. But that said . . .
WHAT THE FUCK, CANADA?! STOP DOING THAT!!!!
In Other News:
Congratulations, Mimmi! Your girls have taken home the gold in Curling, leaving Canada with the silver.
The Swedes played a crazy close game against Canada (who choked when it was down to the line). I spent the last hour at work in kind of a funk after that as Curling is one of those games where a single stone's throw can make or break a game. In Canada's case tonight, it broke. Dang.
But we still have the men's. So Sweden, you may have this one. Our girls'll getcha back in 2014.
GG.
Over At Short Track:
Two golds in Short Track for the 500m and for the 5,000 relay! Holy crap, we might only be in third for overall medals right now this year, but we're actually first for gold medals right now!
I kinda believe that this has never happened before. This is kinda nifty. Even if we don't finish with the most golds in the end, gotta say, this has been a good year for the red and white in the great white north. Even if Vancouver barely counts.
Back To Business:
Schultzie, buddy, I'll be online on Sunday. I suppose I could go downtown be there for the shitstorm and all. But I've a better idea. Let's make a chatroom that night so we can all watch together? I'll set it up first if no one else does.
See you on Sunday, Amercs'. We's got some unfinished business, methinks.
