Overview
Origins
In the search for a decent username, an unknown 17-year old found himself frustrated. One day while looking at various pics of cars from Mercedes-Benz, he immediately fell for one of Benz's convertibles, an SLK 230. From then on, he could not keep his mind off such a car for it was a convertible with a folding hard top (which was uncommon at the time). Suddenly, the boy had ended his search for a decent user name. By simply sticking an 'i' in SLK, adding the chassis code for the Mitsubishi 3000GT, and the word 'the', he created the username, theSLiKZ16A. His accompanying avatar was that of The Big O itself. He went on to his first forum, an arcade forum about a local mall that he went to and started his online life. Soon enough, there came one member who attempted to quote him saying, "someone with 'SLiK' in his name". Realizing the length of his username might become an issue, theSLiKZ16A shortened his name to ' SLiK '.
Time passed, and SLiK soon found himself hanging around in other forums. He came across an Initial D site and used his newly acquired username and joined another online community. There, he used those forums to educate himself on online life. He learned of signature making, bbcode, quoting, flaming, trolling, and the like.
Because it was an Initial D forum, SLiK thought it would be appropriate to use an avatar related to the series. He chose the ridiculously talented Bunta Fujiwara as his avatar. For his signature, he tapped into the power of PhotoShop and created a signature using a Toyota Celica GT-Four.
It would only be a matter of time until 2004 when Shinichiro Watanabe unveiled Samurai Champloo to the world. SLiK was intrigued at the prospect of another anchronistic anime. After watching it, he found Jin to be his favorite character as he easily matched his personality. From then on, Jin became SLiK's standard avatar and created a matching signature to boot. Because SLiK enjoys the cold so much (despite beinge a Pacific Islander) he chose to use an avatar of Jin in winter wear. This has become his forum standard. In the [as] forums, he has chosen a Jin avatar wearing a hat instead for reasons unknown.
Interests
Snowboarding
SLiK likes to snowboard as often as he possibly can during the winter. His place of choice is Mountain Creek, located in Vernon, NJ.
Singing
Back in the day, 2006, SLiK graduated from high school knowing he would probably never sing again. He often remembers his past choir trips to Baltimore, New York, Hershey Park, and Virginia Beach quite well and has stories to boot.
Virginia Beach
During his choir's Virginia Beach trip, SLiK faced all sorts of hell on his several-hour long bus ride to the hotel. He still has shocking memories of that particular ride, including several traffic jams, the bus running off the road as a result of one jam caused by a serious car accident, and a near miss with a sixteen-wheel oil tanker.
After that ordeal, SLiK's choir proceeded to go to the competition stage. He was confident his group would recieve good comments from the judges. As expected, his group did well with all their songs. All they had to do now was wait for the awards ceremony to see the fruit of their labor.
As a part of every good choir trip, now was the time to go the park where all the choirs would spend their day of fun. This park just happened to be Busch Gardens, an appropriate venue for the choirs to have fun and have the awards ceremony. SLiK got together with some of his friends and ran amok in the park, enjoying whatever rides and attractions they came across. On one ride, the aptly named Big Bad Wolf and
During the awards ceremony SLiK's group rejoiced in unheard of glorious revelry when they heard they had placed first in the competition out of 10 other schools in their district. That night as SLiK was about to go take a swim at the hotel's pool, he decided to bring his iPod with him as he did not have a watch. He needed to bring it with him so that at some time he would join his friends and go out and buy some smokes (though he doesn't smoke himself). After jumping in the pool, getting various pics of himself taken, eating copious amounts of pizza, he figured it was time for him to go get the goods. Upon leaving the pool, SLiK noticed something was wrong. Upon further inspection, he found he had been swimming with his iPod the entire time. Fortunately for SLiK, he had the iPod Nano, a flash drive player. It would only take a couple days for his iPod to completely recover. Days later SLiK noticed the battery life had dramatically decreased. He is currently on saving enough money for the 8 GB iPod Nano.
The next day, SLiK and a couple of his friends decided to sneak out of the hotel and set out for the beach. On an impulse, he and his friends ran towards the ocean only to be frozen by the cold waves. It did not matter to them, for it was Virginia Beach, and it might have been the only time to experience such a thing. Afterwards, the friends lay strewn across the sands, soaking up the sun and telling each other various stories.
Choir History
As far as his singing life is concerned, SLiK has had the distinct honor of being part of his Chamber Choir whom he as been eager to participate in. He was also a 2 year veteran of the Morris County Honors Choir, where he had the opportunity to sing songs of a higher level than most high schools. It was when he spent his time in county choir that he met many interesting individuals who shared his interests and, of course, singing.
Sleeping
Like many of the ASMB, SLiK is quite the avid sleeper. It was once said that he slept for 14 hours, translating into 2:00 in the afternoon. He feels greatly dissapointed in himself whenever he remembers that moment, for he felt he had completely and utterly ruined his day.
