"Fo' easy access, baby."
I'm taking a page out of Bastage's introduction and registering at Ellis Island. I'm a legal immigrant now baby!
How did you find CUF?
I had some vague knowledge of CUF for maybe a year now. I started on CB in late 2001, and noticed that especially in the last two years that my favorite posters were less prolific over there. And surprise, surprise: they're all here. So basically I just follow the crowd.
Message boards are a funny thing. My wife doesn't understand it, but I almost feel like I know many of you, as I read and admired your work for years. I really enjoyed CB, still do actually, but I feel like the tenor of that board has changed over time (more on that later). I also posted a few times on CougarGuard, but was shocked after a several month hiatus to return and find it a ghost town. Only people left were Mike Waters and Archaea playing banjos.
What do you like about CUF?
I like the board format, much easier on the eyes. I like the seperated forums. I like the familiar faces. I like that the discourse between Utes and Cougars is a little wittier and more substantial.
I like that it's not TBS, which I despise and yet still pay for.
What don't you like about CUF?
No rules so far as I've seen. I've been condirioned for a long time, I jonesing for some internet message board rules. This freedom scares me.
How did you choose your moniker?
I was a junior college transfer to BYU from San Juan College in New Mexico. When I was a kid, the Suns were the mascot, despite a lack of any sports teams. So I'm just trying to keep it real.
The funny thing is, lots of people assume I'm Hispanic (not that there's anything wrong with that). I'm just not.
What do you do (other than read CUF)?
Husband of one, father of three. I'm a general surgery resident, just over halfway finished with my training.
As I type this, I just got out of the OR with a trauma, a guy got shot up pretty bad (11 holes), and I can't sleep.
I enjoy spending time with my family. Awesome wife (I married multiple notches above myself). I have a six year old boy who worships the ground I walk on, loves sports, is a great kid. A 4 year old daughter who likes to draw. An 18 month old boy, who main goal in life is to jump off high objects. Lots of good times at my house.
I enjoy playing basketball. I assistant coach my kid's baseball/football/basketball teams. I enjoy smoking fools on Modern Warfare 2 (shout out to my PS3 peeps). I read anything historical, I love driving long distances, talk radio, and DirecTV. I also enjoy quoting obscure Easy E lyrics and attributing them to myself.
I'm trying to enjoy running (my wife is a sickeningly dedicated runner) and eating right, but I'm not near being there yet.
What are your sports loyalties?
BYU - As a 6 year old in Vernal, Utah, the 1984 Nat'l Title set me on the path to Cougar fandom. As a 12 year old, the Miami game sealed the deal. I've been hopelessly hooked ever since.
Jazz - Had a Ute loving uncle who hooked me on the Jazz while I lived with him for a year. Like I said, I'm basically a follower.
Braves - my first 4 baseball teams as a kid were all the Braves, and the major league team was always on TBS in the 80s. Too bad they sucked at the time. But the 90s were nice.
What's your standing in the church?
Active, in our branch presidency. I firmly believe in orthodoxy, but also in free thought and agency.
I grew up with an inactive mom and a nonmember dad. I got involved in the Church through camping with Young Mens, and somehow ended up on a mission (I was a pre-raising-the-bar missionary). Got married in the temple, and been rolling along since.
Do you pee in the sink?
Yes, but I only do it after I've lathered up some suds, because if you pee before the soap smell gets in the air I'd get busted.
When your kids get older, will you do drugs with them in order to teach them a responsible approach to drugs?
No, I won't do drugs with my kids. But I'll sell them to yours.
Are you looking forward to Wuap's welcome question and what do you think it will be?
Yeah, I'm curious. I don't know what it will be, but I'm guessing it has something to do with hand signals and whatever that Idaho senator was doing in the airport bathroom stall.
Why are you so creepy? How long have you been lurking?
Lurking maybe two months. Creepy because that's how I roll, I guess.
