Obviously as my username states, I live in the Tampa Bay area. My name is Mark, I am 23 years old, and you couldn't get me away from watching sports if you had Hayden Panettiere waiting at my door. (okay, maybe that would work...)

A lot of people have said I bear a striking resemblence to McLovin, so I've kinda gone along with it by using the name as my own by being a member of the Cowbell Posse, led by my good friend the Cowbell Kid as we and the rest of the posse attempt to defend the Trop against a bunch of assholes and a bunch of douchebags. If I'm a bandwagon fan, then you're a dumb bitch. If you like the teams that I hate, it's probably not a good idea to strike up a conversation with me.

[edit] Subpages

/Sandbox

Usually I will use my sandbox when I'm making a lengthy edit and I'm afraid I'll accidentally save the page before I'm finished. So if I were to make that mistake there and save by mistake, it's no harm no foul, but most of the time that doesn't happen, so I won't normally save things there except when think I really have to, so most of the time it's probably blank.
