Heroes
The person who invented Mexican food, ninjas, Pabst drinkers anywhere, sandwhich lovers everywhere, and pretty much anyone involving themselves in "risky business".
About me: Born in the seventies, only to serve as inspiration to a band, Tressa is responsible for the development of Velcro, the ice cream sandwich, human life, and cholesterol free deep frying oil. She operates the world’s only known school for badasses. To date, Chuck Norris, Mr. T, and the Jet Li are the only graduates. She base jumps off of kitchen counters and prepares delicious sandwiches at high altitudes. Tressa knows the last number of the mathematical equation pi, when the world will end, and which religion got it right but has opted not to share the information for fear of creating mass chaos that only she would be able to rectify. Tressa ended Communism in one weekend after drinking every Soviet head of state under the table prior to reciting a monologue from each Shakespearean play ever written… including the seven that only she, William, and Sir Francis Bacon know of. In her spare time, she has been seen pole-vaulting over large bodies of water and volunteering as a sign language interpreter for the blind. Professional sports teams root for Tressa. She doesn’t require sleep but when she does take naps, she subconsciously develops business plans and more effective ways to eliminate poverty. Tressamessaphobia is the fear of being in the presence of something greater than before conceived – Tressa is the only being on this earth that is not a Tressamessaphobic. In order to even the stakes, Tressa hunts with fishing line and fishes with a compound bow in which capacity she has hooked a Kodiak Bear in Alaska and killed a shark with an arrow. She knows you are reading this right now.

Just sayin'...
Who I'd like to meet: 1. People who do not use the words: "look-it",
"supposubly", "anyways", "anyhoo" or "anyhoozle", and "irregardless" since they are, in fact, NOT words at all. I am not a snob, but please, I DO NOT care what you drive, where you live, what list you're on and how many chicks would DIE to chill with you and your crew. Douchey lines will only be met with a thorough heckling. Try me.
2. I don't know anyone named "Charity". That might be nice.
3. Kevin Garnett, Dwayne Wade, Steve Nash, Bruce Bowen, Allen Iverson, Kenyon Martin, Chris Duhon, Ben Wallace, Rasheed Wallace, Shawn Marion, Dirk, and Amare Stoudemire. Maybe Tim Duncan...just to tell him what a crybaby he is.
4. The kid who runs this page:

4. Last but certainly not least, Bob "Jesus Christ" Stoops.
