Hello there, my adoring fans! I'm just figuring out how to use Misplaced Pages's user system, so it's normal if things look out of place or unorderly. But for now, we should be fine. :) Even before I became a 'member', I have been fixing up pages all the time. Like the List of best selling video games, was all me. I'll get to updating my page later on. I am a proud member of Generation Y and I am an avid Mac user. Apple pwns Microsoft! My main talent/instinct is making people laugh. Not to brag, but I can make an A joke out of almost any situation. I'm Seinfeld at age 13! Green Day and Led Zeppelin are my favorite bands, and anyone who doesn't like them probably has had a syringe full of drugs injected in their brain. :)

Mama always said life is like a box of chocolates; you never know what're gonna get. No, just kidding. Who would tell someone there life's story over Misplaced Pages? But now that I have created this section, I better fill it with something good. Well, my top 10 favorite websites are as follows:

Urban Legends Reference Pages
How's that for a space killer? Well, as you can tell, I am very into humor (you can tell, right?). My favorite shows are The Simpsons, VH1's I Love the 80s (and 90s), Malcolm in the Middle, The Office (US TV series), and National Geographic's Is It Real? series. I am very interested in the paranormal, and a really cool web-based seires for that is JKCinema's Urban Legends. They investigate stuff like ghosts, aliens, subliminal messaging, and El Chupacabra. Hmm... OH, yeah! I almost forgot! I am a prominent artist, and as sson as I figure out how to use my scanner, I'll show you my original sketches. But for now, enjoy my Photoshop picture. I just figured out how Photoshop works, so you might see a lot more photoshop-based images around here. Like I said before, I'm am MacAddict. Are you reading this from a Windows machine? If so, you might as well close your browser window or click thee back button. This website File:Mirrorimage.jpgMy Photoshop masterpiece. Click it for the full effects. I told you I was good.should pretty much sum up why I prefer Apple's innovative products instead of some raccoon carcus Microsoft found in the dumpster and called it an operating system. As you will read below (or in my userboxes) I also prefer Nintendo over Microsoft (again) and Sony. If I was straned on a desert island, I would take along The Da Vinci Code (my favorite book), King Kong (2005), my beloved iPod mini, and a cellphone to call for help in case any of that stuff got boring. Am I sounding really random? That would be normal for me. If you actually took the liberty of going to Playbomb, you'd see what I mean. Also, Pokemon is the greatest game of all time. I say this and I'm 13 whos played the game for 8 years. It was ym first videogame, and as far as I'm concerned, the best. Got a problem with that?
Seems like an unsignifigant date? Yeah, to you. Well, on September 2nd, 2006. will be a defining day in my life. Why? If you said Bar Mitzvah, you are absolutely correct! Luckily, we picked the right date, because my Haftarah just happpens to be the shortest in the mighty Torah. My Haftarah is called Ki Thezte, and after I'm happy with my userpage, I'll create and article on it. You can find my Torah portion on this website. What a Torah portion (or Parsha) is, is the story that connects with the Haftarah story that I'll recite in Hebrew. I'm going to do a little googling, and see if I can find an image that shows you my portion. If not, I'll just take a snapshot of it, so my non-Jewish friends can see what I'll be doing in the temple.
My Playbomb Experience
Okay, if you go to , you will find a website that has not been updated since February 12th, 2006. As sad as that seems, the Administrator (Google Thought Epiphany or Kenton Baliey) left the website to start a Nintendo Wii game (Google Sunder: Land of Divide). Since he has departed Playbomb (he was an active forum member), the forums have been loaded with spam it's not funny. And at 1,351 posts (the highest in Playbomb history), I left the website that once carried extreme potential to be one of the most popular websites ever. If anyone is actualy reading this, please register for Playbomb to stop the spam. The site boasted "Win the next Nintendo!" in a contest. All you had to do was post 25 posts with no filler or spam. And you'd win the Nintendo Wii. Please, go there to resurect Playbomb to its former glory! (my username is Also Scrumshus on Playbomb)
<UPDATE:> Glory, glory halleghluyah (or however you spell that)! The site is fixed! Maybe I should do this Misplaced Pages thing more often...
My Muisc Interests
Led Zeppelin Four Symbols, tied with Warning: as my favorite album.
Well, as can see from my list (below), I mainly listen to Alternative rock. Grunge, Hard Rock, and Punk rock pretty much summarizes my entire iPod library. My favorite album is currently at a tie. As of whenever you are reading this, Warning: by Green Day and Four Symbols by Led Zeppelin are in the lead. Both are perfect albums. My favorite song is at a four-way tie (it's hard for me to make these kinds of decisions). The sonds are Jackass by Green Day, Them Bones by Alice in Chains, When the Levee Breaks by Led Zeppelin and Rearviewmirror by Pearl Jam. If anyone disagrees with my music choices, I'm gonna set up a little poll-type thing in my talk page.
If there are 3 music genres that I can't stand, it would have to be Rap/Hip Hop, 80s synthesizer pop and dance pop, and boy/girl band muisc. If you can even those genres "music". I would include R&B, but I have one R&B song that I relly like (Drift Away by Dobie Gray). Also, I can't stand to hear the Doors music. Those stupid keyboards and "psychedelic" synths hurt my ears! Not figuratively, but I can go deaf for a couple minutes if I listen to too musc Doors. And if muisc physicall yhamrs someone, that shouldn't be muisc that anyone listens to.
Okay, I'm not the proffesional psychological know-it-all, but I've devised myself a theory of the current videogame industry that could possibly predict the outcome of the Xbox 360, Nintendo Wii, and PS3. (I have posted my article on Playbomb.) It goes like this: The videogame industry got its start with the Atari 2600 in 1977. By 1980, the Intellivision challenged the 2600's muscular monopoly of the industry. It's claim to fame? Better graphics and more powerful processing. But who was the clear winner? The less-powerful Atari. But by then, the Video game crash of 1983 was upon the industry. When it was resurected in 1985 by the NES, it had basically one competitior that arrived in 1989. The Sega Genesis. This machine produced far more impressive 16-bit graphics than the NES, and even went as to challenge the Super NES. It's claim to fame: It does what Ninendon't. But, the NES sold 60 million units, next to the Genesis' 34 million. It also failed to its late competitor, the Super NES, which sold 45 million despite being released 2 years later in 1991. Come 1995, Sony released their Playstation. It didn't have any competition until 1996 (Sega released the Saturn in 1994, but didn't have mush steam when Nintendo released its 64-bit N64, which, for a change, was more powerful that Nintendo's 32-bit challenger. Although it did have the groundbreaking Super Mario 64 and The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, the N64 couldn't match the sales of it's less powerful enemy, and Nintendo 'lost' the war for once. In 2001, File:Photo53.jpgOne of my Photobooth materpiecesNintendo and Microsoft released thier consoles, GameCube, and Xbox. Compared to Sony's Playstation 2 released in 2000, the GameCube and Xbox's graphics were vastly superior to its already 1-year old hardware. But these consoles had a hard time gaining steam. Xbox did have its Halo, and Nintendo had a gem called Super Smash Bros. Melee, but they coulnd't get the 3rd-Party support Sony was enjoying. At the end of their run, the GameCube sold about 21 million units worldwide, with the Xbox at 24 million and Sony at a powerful 100 million. But things will take a change with the next generation. Sony's PS3 will be a blown-out superconsole shelling out power, while the Xbox 360 produces eye candy and gets an early release date. During this power-war, Nintendo will release the Wii, which will not focus on power but innovative gameplay and AAA games that are 'fun', and are not about looks. Based on my theory, the Wii will fly past its competitors in terms of units sold. Also, according to some polls conducted in Japan, about 90% dissaprove of Sony's high price points of $500 and $600. And Microsoft isn't looking to hot either. They said by June '06, they'd have sold 6 million units. I write this in July, and the curent figure is 3.2 million units according to Misplaced Pages. Also, big-name game producers like Hideo Kojima and video game-veteran Nolan Bushnell are embracing the Wii's new and innovative controls. Is Nintendo on a roll? Well, if the current sucess of the DS in American and Japan is any indicator, than yes, they are.
