As you see, I embrace my nicknames - they are all earned. I've been in the hobby a long while, been around the block many times, been to 8 conventions - seen a lot, collected a lot and spent a lot. While my collection isn't as nice as others, it is better than most.

I don't care what people say or think about me. As the saying goes, I am not nearly as dumb as I look nor nearly as smart as I think I am - but being in the hobby on the comic and toy sides for as long as I have, I know what is going on. It is a shame I kill all those brain cells every year at the convention. I am either a loyal friend or worst enemy. In other words, I give you no shades of gray. I enjoy contributing and giving back to the community as often as I can, but that is about as far as my ambassadorship carries me these days. You can find me occasionally contributing on many Joe sites and helping out buddies behind the scenes. I am getting old and jaded - acting and feeling like Nomad more and more every day. I don't pick and choose on what I buy. I get one of everything regardless if you think it sucks or not. I don't participate in the RAH v Modern Era debates or give a rats ass about who is more hot - Baroness or Scarlett. I'm here for camaraderie, friendships and good times. It is a pleasure to even be remotely involved in the Declassified site and project. I hope you find it informative and enriches your hobby in the manner it is supposed to.
