And on and on. I don't listen to RAP and country music in general but I'm known to like tiny snippets here and there. The family rebel in me detests country music, I guess. I can't relate to modern rap and hip-hop, but if the language is clean I'll listen to it. Vocal music itself is sometimes a limited form of expression because it has to rhyme but modern rap is even more so because it's all about tough guys yakking to a stolen and altered beat. Do I really need to subject myself to more culturally misogynistic or angry themes IMRL? If the music plays on a classic rock station, chances are I love it.

I'm a born again Trek fan (can I coin that phrase?) having only seen Star Trek movies and not their respective shows in my youth. I usually obsess or latch onto things well past their prime fads. This is especially true in regards to music!

You scored as Captain Kirk, You are Captain Kirk. You are driven by your ideals. You have a daring soul with great potential, but you won't get far without good friends to save your ass when you try to face down a horde of space monsters without a plan B. You are a sensualist to the extreme. Watch out for overindulgence if you still want to fit into that nifty captain's uniform.
I'm not blessed with a glorious voice. This means I can't even do decent impressions. I've always known people who could great impressions. Let us not forget the voice I hear is different from the real, nasally one you hear. At best I can say one word, "...Well..." that sounds halfway like Ronald Reagan. The picture above is perhaps the only character I can come close to sounding like and, at some point, I'll upload a silly audio file to prove it. So there he is, above, one of the Monarch's many henchmen from the hit cult-show: The Venture Brothers, Number 24.

"For those who came in late..."
It seems to me Myspace appears to have fallen out of universal favor as the ideal social networking place. Everyone seems to have flown to Facebook these days, which is where I can be found as well. I do try to visit Myspace at least once a day either to check email, important bulletins, or sketch blogs.
At any rate, welcome. I started a personal goal of creating one or more new paintings every week (as of November 19, 2006) which later changed to one or more new paintings every month shortly before the year was up. (I think that change occurred around September 2007, or so.) In 2008, I continued creating more paintings on a whenever-I-have-time basis and that all about ended before 2009 showed up. Here it is 2009 and I haven't had any free time to start a new painting due to home improvement projects and other distractions and obligations.
I'm a native Tucsonan and I have 2 sisters and all the rest of my immediate family resides in Tucson too. I'm happily married (8 years) with my companion of 13 years and we have two daughters.
I've enjoyed "Letter-hacking" my way into various comic books titles since the mid-90's and have had other tidbits of my poetry, writing, and cartooning (mini-comics and high school newspaper editorial, et al.) published since then.
I hold onto dear passion that I may create comic books for a living someday.

At age 18 I legally changed my name. By the way, my birth given name was not the same as what you may have known me from school.
Who I'd like to meet: You'll notice when you click on "View All of Jacob's Friends" that most folks listed there are either a writer, comic book guru, musician, or comedian. See how pathetic I am?
People I'd like to meet? Shiny. Happy. People. Without reserve: friendly, loyal, and trusting pals. Dreamers, writers, and artists of all kinds. Preferably or ideally people of similar hobbies e.g., comic book creators or enthusiasts. Folks that I may someday, hopefully work with. And, please, take note I do not like drama so I try to avoid drama inducing attention whores.
I don't mind "Friends" promoting their wares/efforts/work via a MySpace bulletin board, but pleasedon't spam my inbox. Thanks. I deleted a local comedy club for such egregious abuse when I first started my account.
Thanks For Being A Friend! Have A Great Week!

I think seeing Kid Rock when logging into my space might be better than this chick I keep seeing who lost 30 pounds in 15 days, before and after, stretch marks and all!! ewwww I'll trade ya...
We for sure can go to the hockey games i don't konow if the girls will like it but we can sure try. I think that the girls will have fun at WWE. Love u
Sorry about your luck at the Iron Man screening, but that's a pretty standard practice, all they care about is having a jam-packed preview. The bigger the flick, the more potential there is to get hosed if you don't get there like three hours early. I hope the flick turns out well anyway.
For a minute there, reading your bulletin about being "Phished", I had visions of you being forced to go to some hippie concert to endure 75-minute acoustic guitar solos. *whew*
hehe yea movie was a little off like when peter starts to change and become evil his hair is pushed forward so u know his "evil (bad)peter" and to the side when his good. and an alfred (from batman) like chr helped Harry Osborn find him self. and at the end they build up to a fight which someone dies in just didnt know if i should feel bad for the guy or what lol. afew little parts i liked, but as a whole not so much.
Hey Jacob, thanks for your support in The Line. It is very much appreciated!
As far as issue 3 goes, I am going to start printing the book with Ka-Blam, as I've heard great things. Issues 1 & 2 will remain at Comixpress, but I will be making them available via Ka-Blam as well. The issue has been done for awhile now, the delay has been due mainly to a death in my family a few weeks back. It will be hitting Ka-Blam this week though for sure. I will definitely let you and everyone know when you can get it. Sorry about the delay. And again, thanks for the support! :)
