I like some new age, some electronica, and some of whatever they're calling alternative/modern rock these days.

Hmm, I haven't done one of these in ages! I love talking about myself:)
1. What does your screenname mean? Why did you pick it?
Basically, I had some friends first call me a Go Go Boy after a night out at a bar where there were some male strippers. I was the gay ambassador to a flock of sorority girls, and they had more fun calling me a go go boy than they did watching the strippers:) With the relaunch and all I've dropped to Boy part and am now just Go Go.

After undergrad, I want to go to law school.

1. What does your screenname mean? Why did you pick it?

2. What X-Books do you read? You are here cause you read them.

It's the title of a song by the ethereal band Mira (see http://www.projekt.com ) which refers, I believe, to the name of a cat. I liked the song and I was looking for a new less-geeky name after having been Hourman originally. I liked the sound of it.

Used to be a lot of them, but there are a lot less these days (especially with reload coming up):

tangentman
05-16-2004, 10:07 PM
1. My screen name refers to a nickname a good friend gave me back in '96. At the time, I was notorious for jumping tracks in conversation. She often called me "tangent boy"--being an avid Legion fan then, I told her "tangent lad" fit me better. When I registered here the first time, I adopted that nick as my member name, eventually upgrading to "tangent man". :)
2. Right now I read EXILES, NEW X-MEN, and picked up UNCANNY X-MEN for the first time in years for Claremont story and Davis art. Who knows after "Reload" finishes?
3. Jeezus, do we have all day? Let's see...among many, LoTR trilogy, KILL BILL I, 28 DAYS LATER, PULP FICTION, DOOM GENERATION, John Waters films, FASTER, PUSSYCAT! KILL, KILL!, X2 (naturally!), PILLOW BOOK, NATURAL BORN KILLERS, SLEEPY HOLLOW and other Burton films.
4. A variety of music...Radiohead, Jeff Buckley, Catherine Wheel, the Cure, Pixies, Linkin Park, Cocteau Twins, Loretta Lynn, many others.
5. I'm 31, lifelong fan of superheroes and other fantastic things, work in a reputable alcohol & drug treatment center, share my home with a cat named Rogue, and am also one of the many queers who seem to find their way to this particular board :cool:
6. So much that I actually give a Triple X ;)
Lee in Limbo
05-16-2004, 10:07 PM
1. What does your screenname mean? Why did you pick it?
My handle was chosen in a fit of desperation when I typed out those famous words 'Help! I'm restarting reading the X-Men after a <insert gawdawful number of years here> absence, and I can't figure out ANY of this stuff!' I chose it for the second generation of this very message board, back around the end of 98. I use it everywhere I go on the internet. And perhaps there really is something to taht bit about the power of a name, because I'm still living in Limbo all these years later. I should really do a rethink, methinks.
2. What X-Books do you read? You are here cause you read them.
At the moment, I'm not reading any. But that's nothing new. I'm broke, and falling quite a ways behind on my collecting. Mind you, I have been weening of X-titles for a while now. I'm a bit of a dinosaur. But I still see stuff worth reading.
3. What is your favorite movie?
Hmmn. These days, I'd say Rear Window. Or maybe The 51st State. But I still love Blade Runner, and my Terry Gilliam films.
4. What music do you listen to?
These days, I've totally retrograded to music by guys from Genesis, mostly. It's weird. But threre really is a lot of the stuff, and it keeps me happy.
5. Tell us about you.
Sometime graphic artist, sometime writer, sometime artist, occasional songwriter, frequent seducer of girls who read comics. I know what I like.
6. Do you give a "X" about us
Of course I do. I just don't get out much. And frankly,if I didn't care, would I be here now? I mean, it's not like I'm reading a lot of comics I have to talk about at the moment.

Like Ruckus (making a noise) and boy/boi put together. I'm a mouthy little gob-sh**e so the name should really reflect that.
2. What X-Books do you read? You are here cause you read them.
I did read GM's New X-men and NYX but since they've either finished or gone AWOL I currently read NO x-books (gasp!). I'll probably be getting the new PAD Madrox series. Looking forward to the Whedon penned "Astonishing..." but I don't think I'll get it monthly.
3. What is your favorite movie?
Sid N Nancy/Lord of the Rings/ The original Star Wars trilogy.
4. What music do you listen to?
All sorts... currently pop/RnB/electro/rock/hiphop etc. Everyone should love the Scissor Sisters, no really!
5. Tell us about you.
I'm a London (UK) based photographer/porn actor who lets his geeky need for comic books get in the way of his normal 9-5 job. I'm opinionated, argumentative and voted the most likely to "disagree with you just for fun". Don't take it personally, I like to be a paradigm for discussion. It's not my fault you all reply with swear words.
6. Do you give a "X" about us
I'm reconsidering my position currently. There are/were some here who I give many an xxx about but I expect some may not bother to return after this horrific forum wide massacre.

1. What does your screenname mean? Why did you pick it?
nooocandy is what I use for everything when online. It's to keep away the men who offer you sweets.
2. What X-Books do you read? You are here cause you read them.
Uncanny, Adjectiveless, Excalibur, Astonishing, Ultimate, Exiles- but I usually just flick thru the issues in shop and buy the trades when available. When I started reading New I found it easier to appreciate stories as a whole and this now applies for all others. Plus its a pain trying to get hold of comics in S. Wales- I've been let down by two internet companies and it's a half hour trip into a busy city to the nearest specialist store. Although I'll be living in said city ( Cardiff ) in a few months but prob still get trades.
3. What is your favorite movie?
The Usual Suspects- fantastic. Also like Empire Strikes Back, X2, Spider-man, Terminator 2, many more.
4. What music do you listen to?
Various stuff- Blink 182, Sum 41, old REM, sixties music, Franz Ferdinand, Keane, Snow Patrol, Pink and lots more.
5. Tell us about you.
I'm 20 at the mo, currently working as a lab tech for the next few months then off to Uni to pursue a career in Media. Was born in Birmingham, England, moved to South Wales about 7 years ago. I like having fun in any way possible. I'm always up for a laugh and friendly and open-minded.

Sheldon
05-17-2004, 05:30 AM
Well Since we lost the old one I figure I should start a new one.
1. What does your screenname mean? Why did you pick it?
Well my old user name Asian Persuasion was from my old ICQ user name that I never use anymore, so I decided to go with my first name Sheldon....I don't really know my my folks chose the name.....apparently it means a gray hill or something.
2. What X-Books do you read? You are here cause you read them.
I currently pick up X-statix. My other X-related reading is done by reading copies one of my "completist" friends gets..
3. What is your favorite movie?
Hard question.....Dr. Strangelove always brings a smile to my face....so does When Harry Met Sally.....the best movie I've seen lately is Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.
4. What music do you listen to?
An odd variety....Beth Orton, Dashboard Confessional, Madonna, Ryan Adams, Depeche Mode, U2, Coldplay...
5. Tell us about you.
I tend to be fairly private but here goes...
I'm 26 and I work doing research at a psychiatric hospital, but this fall will be returning to school to do graduate work.....Hopefully it will be med school, if I don't get in (I should hear back soon) I'm going to do a joint Law/Master of Health Administration degree.
Beyond that I'm preparing for to get married in September..did I mention that before?..I got engaged 2 weeks ago, and we thought about waiting longer, but it seemed right to do it this year.....planning a wedding can be pretty tough though.....wish me luck!
6. Do you give a "X" about us

Vegetarian Goat
05-17-2004, 09:10 AM
1. What does your screenname mean? Why did you pick it?
I did this comic once for my college paper called "Vegetarian Goat & Mr. Can", which had a goat eating grass in a field. Soon enough, a can comes up to the goat and tries to persuade the goat to eat him. The goat declines, saying he's a VEGETARIAN goat... and then there's a truck, and a squish, and things happen... i didn't think it was one of my best... but people seemed to like it. And it's fairly unique to me, so.. there it is.
2. What X-Books do you read? You are here cause you read them.
I read almost every X-Title under the sun. And if i don't get it monthly, I pick it up at cons.
3. What is your favorite movie?
X2, Return to Oz, The Muppet Movie, Blues Brothers, and of course, the first TMNT movie (which i have memorized...)
4. What music do you listen to?
Favorite Bands include: Yes, The Cardigans, The Pixies, Led Zeppelin, Boston, The Beatles, anything that comes on my iPod, really...
5. Tell us about you.
My name is Dan, i live in RI, and i got into comics in 5th grade because of the art, and i've been obsessed ever since. I'm an art student, concentrating in graphic design, and once i have a website worth it's salt, i'll post it up! :D
Oh yeah- i'm also the biggest Dazzler fan on the face of the planet. (I challenge anyone to contest me about it!)
6. Do you give a "X" about us
Of all the other X-related boards on the net.. this is the one for me. It's all you guys. (it's all you..)
1. What does your screenname mean? Why did you pick it?
My initials

I loved Morrison's stint on the book. I'm currently enjoying X-statix.

The most ambitious I've watched (and the most well-handled in recent memory) would be Troy. Other favorites include LOTR, Kill Bill, latter Star Wars installments, The Godfather, and Big Fish.

The Dosadi Experiment
05-17-2004, 10:51 AM
1. What does your screenname mean? Why did you pick it?
My previous screen name was Miles Teg, but I got bored with that name, so now it's "The Dosadi Experiment". Where Miles Teg was a character from Dune series, written by Frank Herbert, The Dosadi Experiment is the actual title of one of Frank Herbert's books, it's a pretty snappy book, and Frank Herbert has a nice little scene in it where he makes fun of his masterpiece Dune.
2. What X-Books do you read? You are here cause you read them.
I'm here because all the cool kids hang out here, and you serve excellent coffee... of course I'm here because I read X-books. Not nearly enough, since my list has been cut to less than a handful. Uncanny X-men and Excalibur are currently on my reading list, together with Astonishing X-men.
3. What is your favorite movie?
It changes every now and again, I can't really say that I have a favorite.
4. What music do you listen to?
Industrial, and I prefer the stuff that comes from Germany, but still sung in Englisch. Like Funker Vogt and Kein Mitleid Fur Die Mehrheid. But I also like J-pop, it makes me all giddy and happy on the inside. And then I've always had a fondness of soundtracks, the real soundtracks that is, not those sappy song-infested soundtracks, no, I really like the music from a movie, the stuff they play in the background to create a mood.
5. Tell us about you.
I'm Dutch, I used to have a promising career as a male model, but lightning struck, together with apathy and puberty and then I just saw it all go to hell, but hey, I'm not bitter or anything, I was the purdiest 8-year-old you've ever seen damnit. I wish I would be able to say that I chilled with all the other celebrity kids, that I was living a life of drugs and sex, but hey, it was more of a hobby than a job, most of the pictures I'm found on were taken for free.
So a long story short, I never was a real model, just had an aunt with good connections and a job in the dazzling world of photography.
But I sound so much more interesting when I claim to have been a model. Which isn't a lie.... just stretching reality like a rubber band...

1) My screenname was my callsign in the Air Force, those who have been around the board for a while (and I'm talking years) will probably remember me.
2)Anything with Deadpool in it, Weapon X, eXiles, looking forward to Astonishing, will give everything else at least 3 or 4 issues to try it
3)The Godfather or Die Hard
4) Anything except twangy country. Right now I'm on a big "surf-pop" kick: Jack Johnson, Ben Harper, Toots & The Maytals... I'll take any suggestions to stuff I "should" be listening to as well.
5) It's more fun to let you guess

Mr. Jip is an obscure Doctor Strange villain who suckered the Outbacck X-Men once into doing his bidding. He's kooky & my initials are J and P.
2. What X-Books do you read? You are here cause you read them.
i started with the issue where Storm became leader of the X-Men by Kicking Scott's scrawny BEHIND. Quit during the whorrific 90s, got into it again, on & off. LOVED New X-Men. LOATHE Austen's Uncanny & early issues of X-Treme but i grew to enjoy the series immensely after the Schism arc. Getting Uncanny now that Claremont & Davis are on it.
i also read X-Statix, Mystique... & will probably give Whedon's ASTONISHING a try.
3. What is your favorite movie?
Too many to list. Almodovar's move me.
4. What music do you listen to?
Where do i start? Mostly nu-jazz & chill-out lounge & downtempo stuff. Soul, dub, funk, triphop, 60s, 70s, classic jazz, broken beats, drum n bass. Really into Brazilian right now, from your classic bossa nova & traditional sambas to tropicalia, afoxé, choro, etc.
i like my occasional guilty J-pop pleasure as well.
5. Tell us about you.
Grad school student dropout (comparative phonology) turned singer/songwriter/socialite. Between studio recordings & photo shoots, by day i teach languages (private tutoring) & by night i am a luminary in Hong Kong. Pour me the Moet.
i like to party, cook, dine, scribble, write, read, meditate, chant, sing, dance, club, sleep, (lucid) dream, philosophize, analyze, socialize, fantasize, learn new languages & cultures & expand my boundaries.
i'm restarting yoga & swimming this week coz i've just been way too decadent for the past year,
& i like pretty things.

JIP, as in gyp ( JIP being the phonetically written version according to my memory ).
It's used informally in Britain as in to cause pain or discomfort and also as to take the mick out of someone or cause someone aggrovation
e.g. ( a made up example, don't look thru any comics for this ).
Magneto: You are a pathetic weakling, a poor excuse of a mutant and you are poorly endowed in the trouser department.
Capt Britain: Stop giving me gyp and let's fight.

Cyclops
05-17-2004, 02:47 PM
1. What does your screenname mean? Why did you pick it?
Junior year of college I lived on a floor that had an unusually high percentage of comic book geeks. One of the things that we did early on was pair everyone on the floor (personality-wise) with their analogue in the X-universe. Since I was a little older and tend to have a big-brother streak, I was said to fill the Cyclops role. It made me think that Scott probably is the comic book character that I'm most like, and I wanted a cool code name when I registered so....
2. What X-Books do you read? You are here cause you read them.
I read comics almost exclusively in TPB now. I really liked Morrison on New X-Men, and I also read the two Marvel Masterworks series. I'm greatly anticipating both Whedon and Singer on their respective books too.
3. What is your favorite movie?
Superman: The Movie. Quintessential.
4. What music do you listen to?
All kinds. Playing right now is Jamie Cullum's "twentysomething," some interesting jazz arrangements from the young British artist. Very fun and highly recommended.
5. Tell us about you.
I'm a 26 year-old medical school drop-out who left to pursue study in the creative fields instead. I was an art minor in college, and right now I'm taking illustration and drafting classes to assemble a portfolio for graduate work...architecture, hopefully.

For the Good of X
05-17-2004, 03:15 PM
1. What does your screenname mean? Why did you pick it?
My screenname, chosen specifically when I joined CBR in November of 03, represents my attitude toward the X-books. I just want them to be good, readable, intelligent and fun for everyone who enjoys reading them. I make no secret that I'm 30 and read comics. I try to be an embassador for them.
2. What X-Books do you read? You are here cause you read them.
Anything by Claremont or Morrison. I loved New X-Men and enjoyed Claremont/Davis' first issue of Uncanny. I've also enjoyed X-Statix and will buy the PAD Madrox series. New X-Men Mutant Academy looks promising as well.
3. What are your favorite movies?
The Breakfast Club. Billy Elliot. Truth or Dare. Out of Sight. All About My Mother. Clueless. Purple Rain. The Terminator.
4. What music do you listen to?
Madonna, Bjork, Prince, U2, jazz, big band, Ella Fitzgerald, Louis Armstrong, Duke Ellington, Diana Krall, funk, some hip hop like Outkast and Jay-Z, lots of other stuff. No country or hardcore metal or rap.
5. Tell us about you.
Hmm...maybe later.

Cactusakic
05-17-2004, 04:23 PM
1: What Does Your Screen Name Mean? Why Did You Pick It?
It's a cross between Cactus and Sakic. Cactus is my nickname because I look (so I'm told) and act like Cactus Jack aka Mick Foley/Mankind/Dude Love from WWE/ECW etc. Sakic is from Joe Sakic of the Colorado Avalanche who I have supported for as long as I care to remember.
2: What X-Books Do You Read? You Are Here Cause You Read Them.
I stopped reading comics sometime around the mid 90's. I have only got back into them (with a vengance, my current monthly standing order is over 40 titles) in the last year or so and I have been intentionally avoiding the x-books as I am a bit of a completist and if I buy one, I'll have to buy them all. I was buying Weapon X, Wolverine, Ultimate X-Men and NYX, but as none of these are core x-titles I thought I was doing o.k. But then along comes the Reload and makes it too damn tempting and too damn easy to get back into all things X. So I now read the above plus X-Men, New X-Men, Uncanny X-Men, Excalibur, District X and Astonishing X-Men. I'm standing firm on not buying Mystique though, lol.
3: What Is Your Favorite Movie?
Godfather Part II. Closely followed by Godfather Part I, Goodfellas, Blade Runner and Chinatown.
4: What Music Do You Listen To?
Pretty much anything and everything, but some of my favorites are:
The Doors, New Order, Joy Division, The Who, Nirvana, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, Bruce Springsteen, The Pixies, Ash, Prodigy, Evanescence, The White Stripes, The Clash, Green Day, The Happy Mondays, 2 Many DJ's, Chemical Brothers, Aerosmith, Guns N Roses, The Streets.
5: Tell Us About You.
I'm 23 and I think my life peaked around 5 years ago, but I carry on in the hopes of being proved wrong. I work outdoors which is great at this time of year, but it blows in the winter. My main interests are Film, Comics, Porn and Pro Wrestling in that order. My girlfriend understands and accepts the first three. The highlight of my year for the past 5 or 6 years running has been attending the Glastonbury and Reading music festivals here in the U.K during the summers. Over the last few years I have seen some of the greatest bands on the planet and this year is setting up to be one of the best yet. Fingers crossed.
6: Do You Give An "X" About Us?

Hmmm, Well Krock is my station but I'm open to pop, house, techno, and some r&b/hip hop/rap. I use the term some very loosely since it is rare and thats why I grouped those categories all together.

That is Rockin' Matt. Very cool new feature. Thanks for doing that.

1. What does your screenname mean? Why did you pick it?
"Bakla" means "Faggot" in the Philippines, where I'm from. It's a name that was a hated taunt I had to endure when I was younger. I decided to repurpose it, own it and make it a positive thing. Which it's become, actually.
2. What X-Books do you read? You are here cause you read them.
I enjoyed Morrison's New a lot, and I follow Claremont no matter what - I may not like what he does sometimes and I'll be vocal about it, but I'm a fan. I read Uncanny for 17 years before he left, and after that long, it's a comfort thing to hear that 'voice' and read those characters' exploits. And it's hard to give up.
3. What is your favorite movie?
The only movie I've seen more than X-men was Firestarter. I think I wanted to be a pyrokinetic little girl with a telepathic David Keith as my...er,...daddy. That, and when you recall her final triumphant razing of the institute that tried to control her, it was a very righteous moment in the vein of vintage Storm...!
4. What music do you listen to?
Mostly House, a lot of Downtempo/Lounge, some pop, but ecelectic: the Hotel Costes series, Scissor Sisters, Annie Lennox, Jamiroquai, vintage Swing Out Sister, Strawberry Switchblade & Blowmonkeys, Bebel Gilberto, Royksopp, Prefab Sprout...lots.
5. Tell us about you.

1. What does your screenname mean? Why did you pick it?
Fairly obvious in my case, I love me them 80's Transformers. I posted as Soundwave on the old thread for about 100 posts before the whipe. So yeah, I'm a rookie.
2. What X-Books do you read? You are here cause you read them.
Ultimate is pretty much it for now, though I'll give Amazing a try. I dropped New after Morrison left. I still like the characters if not the current status.
3. What is your favorite movie?
Uh, how bout Braveheart?
4. What music do you listen to?
Beatles, Sinatra, Springsteen and newer stuff. Don't look at me like that, I'm 26!
5. Tell us about you.
Um, did I mention I'm 26? I work at Best Buy fixing computers but am going to take my LSats soon so I can truly be the next Lionel Hutz!
6. Do you give a "X" about us
Not yet, but give me time ;)
So start answering again.
Kirayoshi
05-18-2004, 11:10 PM
1. What does your screenname mean? Why did you pick it?
Kirayoshi is a subtle Star Trek: Deep Space Nine reference. Yoshi is the son of Miles and Keiko O'Brien, but due to injuries Keiko sustained in a shuttlecraft accident when she was pregnant, Kira Nerys ended up becoming a surrogate mother for the unborn Yoshi. In her honor, Miles and Keiko chose to change the child's name to Kirayoshi.
2. What X-Books do you read? You are here cause you read them.
I started with the Claremont/Paul Smith period. I'm looking forward to Claremont/Davis, and Whedon's run on Astondishing. And praying fervently that Chuck Austin will never get his grimy mitts on Kitty Pryde.
3. What is your favorite movie?
Of all time? It's a Wonderful Life. Recently, the Lord of the Rings movies.
4. What music do you listen to?
Evanescence, Dave Matthews, REM, B52s, Talking Heads, Nickleback, Ramones, Brian Setzer Orchestra, The Chieftains, Civilized Animal(a Spokane-based ska/hiphop/raggae combo) and the soundtrack to 'O Brother Where Art Thou'
5. Tell us about you.
I'm an old-school comics fan and a voracious reader. I'm finally getting around to reading Michael Chabon's "The Amazing Adventures of Kavilier and Clay" and enjoying it immensely. I also enjoy biking.
And I've written quite a bit of Buffy the Vampire Slayer fanfiction. Favorite pairing, Buffy/Willow(Hey, she's done far worse!).
6. Do you give a "X" about us
Aw, what the 'X'!

1. What does your screenname mean? Why did you pick it?
I wanted something that tried to sound impressive but was obviously ridiculous, with a hint of my French-Canadian origins. The alliteration was also reminiscent of old Marvel comics names, like Doctor Doom or Black Bolt.
2. What X-Books do you read? You are here cause you read them.
I'm actually here because of the posters! I dropped all the X-titles back around uncanny X-Men #300. I did come back for the trades of the Morrison run (great, great stuff, apart maybe from the uninspired Planet X) and I probably will not be interested in the Return of the Spandex storyline. That was good in the 70s and 80s, but personally I've had my fill. And Logan looks ridiculous in his canary-yellow costume.
3. What is your favorite movie?
Currently it's Asterix et Obelix: mission Cleopatre, a hilarious adaptation of the famous French comic. But I usually have a new favorite movie every few months.
4. What music do you listen to?
I like a lot of things... Opera, baroque, classical, rock, movie soundtracks...
Anything but what makes it to commercial radio top-50.
5. Tell us about you.
Father of two, happily married for close to 20 years, professor of biology, amateur cartoonist (http://www.biolinks.com/humor) , amateur writer, I practice karate and ride a bike to work (when my arm isn't in a cast as it is right now). I've accumulated way too many comics in the past 30 years, and most of them not very good at that.
6. Do you give a "X" about us

Though I might not talk much on these boards, and it took my 3 years to get my former 120 posts, I certainly do. It's the reason I stick around. Everyone here, though I've disagreed with some, is a good person and certainly willing to help.

1. What does your screenname mean? Why did you pick it?
I got this name from one of my teachers. He was giving me this long talk about how I got all this talent and whatever and said that my "devil may care attitude" was pissing him off. I like the "devil may care" part. It sounds cool.
2. What X-Books do you read? You are here cause you read them.
I buy the New Mutants series that just became Academy X. I buy Wolverine if that counts. I'm gonna buy Astonishing. I read everything else but that doesn't mean I buy em. Mostly thanks to my non support of chuck Austen.
3. What is your favorite movie? Good Will Hunting
4. What music do you listen to? My favorite band right now is HIM. I listen to them all the time. there isn't a song they've made that I don't like. Other than that I enjoy some oldschool Jazz. Alien Ant Farm is another good one band.
5. Tell us about you.
I'm an aspiring actor/writer. I'd love to write comic books, but don't know if I really have the drive. I think I could make some kickass stories. If I could write any current characters they'd be Daredevil, Wolverine, or Spider-Man. I also have my own original character that I'm tweaking. You know, I wouldn't mind writing the Hulk. That'd be fun.
6. Do you give a "X" about us
Dunno, haven't been here long enough to formulate an opinion.

Well, sure... but have you ever had a professor flip you off in class, right in front of the other students? That's the true test, young one. And a proud day for both you and your family. Trust me.

05-23-2004, 10:31 AM
1. What does your screenname mean? Why did you pick it?
Okay, Gonzo is a nickname my cousin gave me because I was a weirdo-I was kinda goofy, like the muppet (and no I don't have a huge hooked nose). The goose part comes from two places-1. one of the meanings of my first name is "baby goose", and 2. ya know when you laugh soooo hard you don't make a sound? Well, when that happens I try to take in air and I make a sort of...honking sound I guess, so my Mom always said I sound like a goose. Okay, that was probably waaay too much info. :o
2. What X-Books do you read? You are here cause you read them.
X-Men, Uncanny X-Men, Exiles, Excalibur, New X-Men, the upcoming Astonishing X-Men, District X Emma Frost, and occasionally Cable/Deadpool, Wolverine, and other X titles.
3. What is your favorite movie?
My favorite movie of all time is "It's A Wonderful Life", but I also love Spider-Man, LOTR, Mission Impossible, Jerry Mcguire, and a whole bunch of others too numerous to list-I video tape EVERYTHING I watch as far as movies or wrestling goes and some season finales (not to mention the whole season of the past two American Idols).
4. What music do you listen to?
I'm pretty eclectic. I don't care for country, but someon like Leann Rimes I can listen to, and I HATE heavy metal, which I just classify as noise. I mainly listen to R&B and Contemporary Christian.
5. Tell us about you.
I'm 27, in Ky, have lived here since I was 5. I've been reading comics consistentlly since I was 13, though I didn't by any for five years, between ages 19 and 23 for a lot of reasons I won't go into. I don't have much time for anything else. I love singing, writing and drawing in that order. As for what I do, I work in a Business Office, but I want to write-just have to find the time for it. I'm on the search for something I can do from home that won't require a huge investment or more school (I have a BA in Bus. Admin., an, minor Comp. Sci. Assoc. in Computer Science, and an Assoc. in Bus. Mgmt.) so I'll have more time to pursue my dreams and spend w/ mi familia, but haven't had much luck yet. Feel free to pm or e-mail me if you know something.
6. Do you give a "X" about us
If I didn't I wouldn't even be here. I post on CBR because it's the best place to find like-minded people with big dreams and aspirations. I'm not surrounded by the most creative or adventurous people in my life. So in short, I love you guys and gals.

2) Ummm, I read what Claremont writes and X-Statix. I'm looking forward to reading District X. I'm going to try Astonishing but I've been wildly uninterested in what I've seen so far.
3) Good lord. Like I could choose.
4) Right now I'm alternating between the broadway cast album of ragtime and joan jett's greatest hits.
5) I have a weblog. Go read that. It'll tell ya enough.

Well Since we lost the old one I figure I should start a new one.
That's why they pay you the big bills, Q.
1. What does your screenname mean? Why did you pick it?
You all may have known me as The Minuteman Refugee. I am now Tre Styles. It means what it says in my tag. I've got many styles, although tre stands for the Third. Which I am. (I'm the third Sam in my family line)I changed my screename as a result of this metamorph that CBR went through. I was Minuteman for yearssssss.....change is good. Yes? Edit: I just realized that Tre Styles was the name of Cuba Gooding's character in Boyz in The Hood...which is cool with me too.
2. What X-Books do you read? You are here cause you read them.
I try to read all of them. There are a lot now. Although Austen makes me cringe. I enjoy mostly all X-Books. I've slowed up on Exiles, X-Statix,and X-Men though..
3. What is your favorite movie?
It changes periodically...but The Last Samurai was awesome.
4. What music do you listen to?
I listen mostly to contemporary Gospel, some R&B, and Hip-Hop too.
5. Tell us about you.
Well, I'm 29 as I type this. Born in March, and raised in Maryland. I still live there. I've been married to a wonderful woman for four years going strong.I just had a son in April of 2004. I teach at inner-city elementary school. I am an easy going kind of guy.. I love to draw and hope to get a scanner soon. There are some online comic things I like to do.(Oh, and post my stuff in "Draw Me an X".... ;) ) Of course, I love comic books, or I wouldn't be here. I also have a deep spiritual side to me. I'm a lover, not a fighter.
