Do you know how many girls are practically in love with you?

No. Do you?

Just don't hurt me!

Why not be one? (an actor)

Other than a few plays when I was mad young (where I only ever played 1 line characters), I never really have had the opportunity to. Would love to some day though if given the shot!

Just don't hurt me!

Why do you tweet your formspring responses?! D:<

You only see the ones that pertain to TR itself, or are funny. WHY? YOU GOT A PROBLEM?

Just don't hurt me!

So who actually IS staff? I only officially see you at cons. None of he original staffers are still in anymore? Or is TR just you mainly?

I'm gonna go in order on this:
Charles who built our website and continues to maintain it
Don who helps run the merch booth
Angel who helps Don
Becky who translates
Kendra who translates
Nancy who has in recent years mainly helped on tour and helped us get Takuya to AUSA with her friend Bri
Virgina who hasn't been able to help out for a while but mainly helps at lives
Of all of the originals, only Maria and Alwin are officially gone because they don't have an interest in J-Rock anymore, but we worked with Alwin and met up with Maria at X Japan, so that was nice.
TR will never be just me. I may do a bulk of the work load, but everything we have and want to accomplish is impossible by me alone.

How did you come up with the name Tainted Reality?

It took me months to come up with that name. What it is, is a phrase that echoes a common theme of my writing; that olf someone's perception of reality being altered. It was meant to allued to the J-rock fanbase, circa 2005 which didn't have a true media outlet for j-rock. We were one of the first to come around, and were FM broadcasted at the time. We were giving them something they thought was never possible, thus, Tainted Reality.

What's a favorite game or toy of yours from childhood?

Well, this is gonna be the corniest thing you ever heard, but I had a stuffed dog named Doggy. I loved him to death, and it showed. I carried him everywhere, used to sniff his ear and suck my thumb, even used him as a pillow at night. Even after I grew out of all of that< i still kept him around and loved him a lot. Then, when I lost my home and my family split up, Doggy just disappeared. Could never figure it out and it kinda haunted me for a while. It always bothered me, even haunted me. Then, a few years later, my mom said that she took him. I was kinda upset and said I wanted him back. That was about a year ago and she still hasn't done that...

Do you think that you'll actually write your bio on here since you seem to be getting a lot of questions?

After I get these MAGFest videos done!

Just don't hurt me!

Is TR a group thing or just you?? I used to see you with the same staffers. Like a team back at other cons and concerts. Now I see you with random merch people at each event o.O.....

That's actually a good question that has been on my mind for a while. Tainted reality has never really had a localized staff. We've always kinda been spread all across the eastern sea board, which has made it difficult to get everyone to events and concerts. Infact, I've never had our entire roster in the same room at the same time! It's just always been hard to get everyone together.

The other problem is, at this point, Tainted Reality has been in operation for over 5 years. People who were with us in the beginning are at a completely different place in their lives now, and don't have too much time to help. TR has always been an organization that was run out of a bedroom, and we have never really had the money to give people a steady wage. At this point in TR's progress, we hire volunteers who can help out and are available given the time off from their day job, their proximity to the event, and what the budget allows. We usually try to invite the people who have been with us for a while first, but if we just can't we hire local friends to help out.

Just don't hurt me!

Are your jobs the reason why you seem more often stressed out than happy? Or is something else going on?

On the reverse side of a previous question, who is the one Jrock band that you would destroy if you had the chance?

Not so much a single band, but more so the idea that commercializing your music by making it more pop or rap friendly is a good idea. Honestly, it works in Japan, so I know why bands do it. But bands doing this has made it VERY difficult for this scene to grow in the US. If this idea had a throat, I would shred it open with my teeth!
