[QUOTE]Originally posted by CaptainMike: [QB] Hey heres a thread i really meant to answer.. i wrote a long long story in October and hit 'post' only to have the board be offline.. i closed my window and was too tired to rewrite my litany.. i think im ready now.. CaptainMike: Only what everybody in the world knows me as. My freshman year at CCRI i came to school on Hallowe'en dressed as a Starfleet captain. The name sorta stuck, but within the following two weeks i tried alcohol for the first time, and based on my achievements in the field of Captain Morgan Spiced Rum™�� drinking, I became known as Captain to the remainder of my viewing public. Thanks to my behavior at concerts (wearing costumes and bringing toys for everybody to play with) people i dont even know call me 'Captain Mike' .. i dont want to be pompous, so i dont walk around saying 'call me captain', but most everyone calls me that once they know me. This craze peaked when i was a manager of a restaurant and not only was i called captain, but the crew's uniforms all featured between one and three pips so that they could be identified as subordinate to my four-pipped manager shirt... i'm not as crazy as i was back then.. heres a good sample of some of the sadness that happened: [QUOTE] OK, so you get a fifteen cent an hour raise, a new uniform, and the title of Crew Trainer.. all you have to do is tell me there are five lights on the ceiling here. But Mike, there are four lights.. Maybe you.. didnt.. understand.. me.. [/QUOTE] 'Supposed to Have Transwarp Drive' - referring to the commentary on the Excelsior scene from ST:III. This ones kinda deep for me, because i feel there are a lot of expectations for me that im trying to live up to, and people are telling me what im 'supposed to have' I often feel like id be happy failing and just falling in line, just like Excelsior was perfectly fine with regular warp drive. And when i think of how ive tried to make my life good and failed key times in the past two years, i often refer to it as the failure of the 'Great Experiment.' My quotes.. McCoy about getting permits to do illegal things.. again from ST:III.. I've done a lot of illegal things in the past two years (if you graphed illegal activities in my life, it would be 1-2 a year for 20 years, then spike up to 20-50 illegal things a year for 20, 21 & 22. and i dont regret any of it. OK, some of it.. but not a lot. 'continued immaturity'.. if you read my posts or my site, this one doesnt need explanation. 'shatnerologists' i just like this, from the Church of Shatnerology site.. just picture velociraptors in a room full of wiener dogs. they should put that in the next Jurassic Park. I'd pay.. plus i like having a shatnerologist theme.. i realize i am becoming a shatner worshipper.. not in the crazy way like the Church, but listening to The Transformed Man (once a day..every day..) makes me think about a lot of things that i should have realized long ago about life.. and Shatner is quite possibly one of the most charmingly flawed human beings there is.. he has done so much wrong, so much bad, but he still amazes the world every day because he is a force of nature. plus he was Captain Kirk. love is a holographic snowmobile. -- from our password-story challenge. just a powerful statement i have four people to thank for.. ill look up who later.. i made a picture of 'love' [IMG]http://www.conk.com/world/captainmike/love1.jpg[/IMG] [/QB][/QUOTE]
