Editing The Sandman

[[Image:Sandman xanga.jpg|frame|The Sandman]]
Hello all.  My name is The Sandman (real name Diego; last name withheld), born April 29, 1990.  I am a forum goer at the 9th circle of Hell that I like to call Azure Chaotic.  I've actually been mistaken for many races (such a limiting word..) from Middle Eastern to Chinese, but I'm actually of Mexican descent.  

For those of you who don't know, I'm currently sixteen years old and go to "that nerd school," as my little cousin calls CAMS.  I'll be the first to say that I have the best friends at CAMS, and I'd like to take this space to thank them all for being such great friends back and putting up with me and my ramblings and personality.  So, thanks guys.  

== About My Name ==

The Sandman is the protagonist of Neil Gaiman's graphic novel series written for DC-Vertigo.  I enjoyed this series so much, I adopted the name for use online.  Plus, I do like the sound of it.

== Likes and Dislikes ==

Likes
* anime and manga (Naruto, Bleach, Black Cat, One Piece, FMA, Samurai Champloo)

* my favorites are: Super Smash Brothers Melee, Soul Calibur series, EVE Online, Resident Evil 4, Beyond Good & Evil, Final Fantasy, looking at the Tales series, Kingdom Hearts, and Devil May Cry.
* the many works of Bruce Timm; look him up, you might like the Batman/Superman/JLU stuff he did
* various comics (I'm more a DC than Marvel person, but both are great)
* all genres of music except country, mainstream rap, mainstream R&B, and the Fall Out Boy genre, whatever that is
* computer type things in general; i'm learning so much.

I have way, way too many favorites to list here, so here are just five:
* Nightwish and other symphonic metal bands
* Avenged Sevenfold
* BT
* Shiki
* Kajiura Yuki

== Personality ==
Not much to say here.  In looking at my self, I'd say that I'm smart, less talkative than some of my friends, with some degree of patience, and something of a sense of humor.  Ask my friends if you want a much better opinion.

== In Closing... ==
On a random note, I am a "follower" of the Wise, Old Shitashi, and a disciple of Vendo (praise be to His name).  I also study Japanese in my spare time, and I can speak some Spanish.  Oh, I have one original quote from the many that my friends and I use:

"The Xbox is, was, and may always be remembered as a Halo TV-adapter."

We'll see if I can update this more, so until then, The Sandman (that's me) bids you sweet dreams.
