B9 is the model number of the robot in "lost in space".
when i was very small, i idolized the robot.
also, B9 is phonetically equal to "benign" and that is what my thoughts always are.

Protest the Hero are my favorite Canadian metal band. I kind of chose the name off the top of my head. I like their name, too.

I love rock music, and I play drums. I thought plain old "RockDrummer" sounded boring, so I added a number. 616 in Marvel Comics is the denomination for the main continuity created by Stan Lee. No one really knows why, but one rumor is that it was created in June 1961, or 61/6.

xalepax, now as far as my nickname goes? well it's the character featured not only in the X-Men comic books but, the films as well however though, I'm nowhere near to the character as such, for I'm not that bright in certain areas,No! I mean not stupid-- just, have some trouble understanding things from time to time yet, like the character though I always try to find ways to resolve matters of conflict without going to violence first..2nd, I'm close to being bald.. :oops: :oops: :oops: Well, that does it for me now..

Glider is the nickname the high school baseball team called me when I was their batboy when I was very young (probably preschool age to early elementary school age). My father was the high school baseball coach at that time.

"Kenjuudo" literally means "the way of the pistol" in japanese and is the appropriate name of the pistol shooting sport in Japan when combined with the philosophy of Zen and it is written like this:

I chose the name because it sounded cool at the time, but that was before I had ever tried shooting with a pistol which, by the way, scares the living s*** out of me. It's TOO easy to just flip the gun around toward my own face for my own liking. I really like the japanese culture and language though, and am an avid fan of anything japanese. Especially blooming cherry trees as there is probably nothing that displays the beauty of mother nature quite like this:

Do you like the film director Akira Kurasawa? We have a DVD of a film called "Dreams", which is a collection of his own dreams set in film. It's really amazing, and if you like all things Japanese, you'd probably enjoy this a lot. Traditional Japanese culture features prominently.

I like the colour blue. When I was young I wanted everything to be blue. Hence I would say...

When I was signing up for my account, I looked out of the window and I saw a woodpecker eating some food. As it is a nice looking animal I choose that as my name.

My nickname is HappyFox because I have a hat that is called Happy Fox.

Which you can see here

Also it has became my nickname because I sometimes will refer to myself as Happy Fox. For example, saying, "Happy Fox (insert emotion here)."
