Since it's a slow day in the world of MMA, I thought it would be cool to talk about Tapology and ourselves.. anything at all regarding the same.  I'll get a brief start going..

I live in PA, am 30 and have been a fan of MMA since I was a teenager.  Work for the railroad and rarely ever miss an event regardless of promotion/stature.  I like Tapology b/c of the environment it fosters.  I wish we could edit/delete our posts... maybe have categories of threads for the forums, but all in all, I appreciate the type of place this is thus far.

Holy ****. They're making a Clerks III. Kevin Smith is writing the script now and a few days ago he said he had about 25 pages left and he's 'in love with it' so far.. So excited.

@Mike Cool, I actually liked Clerks 2 better than the 1st. Definitely looking forward to a new one...

I maybe super late to this since this is my 300th post... But here's a quick rundown of who I am:

I live in South PR (born and raised in Boston, MA though), am 27 (I look 19 for whatever reason), graduated with a Cum Laude GPA from a bachelors in Computer Science, but I'm an unemployed IT guy struggling to get a job and it's a little frustrating getting to job interviews and being turned down because I'm over qualified... smh.

Considering I have so much free time on my hands, I like to help a lot at the local church I attend, I watch a ton of MMA, sitcoms, football and NBA which are things that help me keep my mind distracted.

MMA-wise I'd say I've been watching for a good 9 or 10 years. I did watch the first couple of UFC as they were on PPV as a kid in Boston, but never found interest in the sport, I was a huge pro-wrestling fan back then.

When I got older and came across the Internet in like 1998-2000 I began getting into Japanese pro-wrestling and slowly stumbled across Japanese pro-wrestlers who competed in PRIDE like Kazuyuki Fujita, Yoshihiro Takayama and Katsuyori Shibata and I began gaining interest in MMA and then pro-wrestling began to suck a ton and I lost interest and stopped watching and began watching MMA only.

@grizzley.. I have the same problem.  I'm 32 (33 in july) and still look 18..lol.  I've learned to embrace it though!  Oh, and the job market's loss is Tapology's gain!

being 22 and asked if you're 18 isn't terrible. Try being over 30! It's okay though... I bet the day they stop carding me I'll get insulted and feel like they think I look old!

@kalibo i seriously can't imagine how that's possible, but i'd say if you're over 30 and you look 18 then that's just good genetics! lol

Wow @Kalibo! You do look young but whoever is asking if your 18 is a terrible judge of age. I would've guessed low-mid 20s.

I agree with @danno, i'd say you look younger, but i don't know about that young.

That's my favorite pic of all time.  Idk.. I'm more of a private person when it comes to the net... that and I don't want to make Sonnen feel bad for claiming the sexiest Tapologist award from him.. lol.

Oh.. and due to my darker skin.. I fear JM may stalk me.  I know.. I know.. she's semi-banned, but I'm still scared.
