Interview Marcus "The Ranter" Vol. 1

"When you mess with Good Burger, YOU, go in the grinder!!"

That quote has nothing to do with this interview, but, here we go!  

This first interview was conducted by my good friend

Andrea Crawford.

Q: Where does your love of Technology come from?
A: Well it all started as a young infant in my mothers tummy, I over heard the doctor say "he may not make it", so you know what I did?! I FOUGHT MY WAY UP OUT THAT MOFO, lol, no seriously, my mother said birthing me was painless, which means I'm special [blushing].  Anyway.  My love for Technology, Gadgets, and Electronics and all that stuff, started when I was young, I always wanted to know how things work, the cause of the effect, naturally, Science was my favorite subject, but I hated math (they go hand in hand).  So from time to time I would take things apart, and put them back together, fix little things around the house, but when my mom bought my first computer, thats when it really kicked off.  True story, I was on my computer, and it was going slow, so, knowing me I'm like "Light bulb!!", I unhook all the wires, and opened the computer up, I then remembered why it was going so slow, my friend who sold it to me took a stick of RAM out of it, for some odd reason, I took the other stick out just to examine it....but I put it back in backwards, lol, I closed it up, hooked everything back up to it, turned it on, and heard nothing but crackling, I hurried up and turned it off, unhooked everything, and saw smoke coming out the back vent...I thought it was gonna blow up so I didn't touch it for a while.  When I finally decided to open it up, I saw the stick of RAM was fried!... hasn't happened to me since...learn by experience


Q: Have you played on every gaming platform ever made? Which one is your favorite and why?
A: There are a LOT of gaming platforms that have been released over the years, someone without knowledge of the number and only know of the popular ones will say they have played them all.  So the answer is, no, I haven't played them all, but I have played a lot of them.  My favorite console, to this day, would have to beeeeee....SNES aka Super Nintendo.  My love for this console is hard to explain, I still have plans of re-buying it, just to have, but I do have a SNES Emulator (basically a computer program that allows you to play all the old school/new school consoles and games) and I'm always firing it up, my favorite game for the SNES would have to be Zelda: A Link to the Past, my brother and I spent soooooo much time trying to beat this game, I don't think we ever beat it, when I got the SNES Emulator, I dedicated myself to it, and finally beat it, and this was like 2-3 years ago lol.


Q: Have you met a famous person? If so, how did you meet them?
A: Ummm, I met Reggie Miller, Cheryl Miller, and their family once.  My father took me, my brother, and our babysitter to Sizzler (we goin siiiiizzzler, we goin siiiiiizzler), our table was sort of toward the back (it was packed that night) by the window.  So there we are, eating our food, my brother looks over, then looks back at me and says "Marcus, dont that dude look like Reggie Miller?", I looked, I say "Yeah older brother....he does look like Reggie Miller" (OK, you got me, I didn't say it like that), then I said "Ask daddy", my brother says "Hey, Father, the one who giveth me life, doesn't that guy look like Reggie Miller?" my father then says "Yeah.....hold on...that IS Reggie Miller man!" lol.  Nice people, he introduced us to the family, my father, being the talkative mofo that he is, made chatter with them until we finished eating, we shook their hands on our way out.


Q: As a Piston Fan, do you think Kuester should be replaced? Who do you think should take his spot?
A: Coach Q isn't really a bad coach, I try to give him credit and look at some of the positive things, but, yes, absolutely, he should be replaced.  There are several coaches out there, a lot of them not willing to come to Michigan though, we could've had Avery Johnson before the Nets picked him up, but they wanted to sign him to like, a 3 year contract, Avery knew it would take longer to get the team together, so he wanted something more like 6 years, and a little more control than what they were giving him, I think he deserved it, Pistons organization thought otherwise.  The first place I'd look is Rick Adleman (Rockets ex-coach), see where he's at and see what his plans are, though the Rockets have missed the playoffs the last 2 years, they also don't have ANY stars, but they were also way over .500, and only missed the playoffs by a couple of games, with a team full of role players.


Q: Your favorite sequel movie, what is it!!!! Tell me now!
A: lol, I have no idea man.  There are a lot of sequel movies I love!  Harold and Kumar 2, Rocky IV, X-Men 2, Spiderman 2, The Punisher 2, Lord of the Rings: Two Towers, Scary Movie 2...I could go on all day, but, if I haaaaad to pick a favorite to watch out of all of those, if there were on TV all at the same time.....I would...not pick a favorite and just watch Tom n' Jerry.

This is the end of the first interview!! 

a success indeed.  

More to come later 

Peace and mo Old Navy Fleece.
