This month Ye Old Ink Blot is shining the spotlight on Disposable Hero. This member is a 17 year old all man from the lovely potato state of Idaho who has a "wonderful" girlfriend. His username comes from "An old Metallica song and my own personal feelings". He first arrived onto the land of 4th Kingdom back in August of 2004, August 9th, to be exact. His very first post looked like this:
He's come along way since then with a total of 649 posts todate (as of 8/20/05).
Disposable Hero's first impressions of this site was that "it seemed like a very friendly place, very nice people". Did his impressions change? According to him, "As I got to know alot of the people, I saw kinda of a riff between them, sort of good side and dark side. I had friends on both, and when they would fight, I'd have to shut up and try not to take sides." Mr. Hero has been sorta scarce lately and when asked if this rift had anything to do with his being away, he steadfastly indicated it had not.
When asked about his buddies, Disposable Hero reminisced, "Back when I first got on, OrgazmoV2 was a good friend. He always talked about bringing back his glory and stuff and how I'd get a seat of power, it was actually pretty cool. And later, when the poets were having their problems, like between free verse poets and rhyming poets, me and a fellow rhymer often talked about how stuck up the others were, and how our poems rocked, he was none other than the old school flamer, Koresh."
Since he's been away, he's been doing a little boxing here and there but mainly been very busy playing with his band Walking Past Death.
Some of the music from his band can be heard on his myspace account @ www.myspace.com/walkingpastdeath.
Disposable Hero has visited Florida but says it's "way too humid, I'm use to freezing Idaho." When asked about fears, he indicated, "I fear things that I can't control, things that I can't do anything about." Sounds pretty reasonable, right?
Finally, Disposable Hero's hopes and dreams include the simple things in life... "I hope to marry my baby girl, get rich with my band, and live happily ever after." He's placed a lot of emphasis in his band....he's been working very hard in it and it has been progressing very well according to him.
As for his stats on the Kingdom, half his time has been spent on Poetry, Debates, and Meeting place boards. But you can find a good portion of posts on Flame, Help & Support, Rants, Meet & Greet, Health & Fitness as well as the Music boards. Here's a complete listing of where his posts are at:
And here is some feedback from members of the community on Mr. Disposable Hero:
"I believe Disposable Hero to be very creative and I respect him in the little time that I have seen him on 4th Kingdom. He seems very original in my eyes and his music is very interesting." ~ Random
"Though I don't know him so well as others. I think Disposable Hero is a pretty cool guy, and a decent musician too." ~ Temujin
"I think he's a fun loving guy who's a bit rough around the edges but all in all he's got good intentions. He's driven and knows what he wants so he's definately a motivated individual. Also he's an honorable guy who's willing to fight for what's right. He doesn't take any bull from anyone and even though he comes off as a hard-ass most of the time, he's really soft and caring underneath that tough exterior." ~ Koresh
Let's all honor Disposable Hero as this month's Member Spotlight!!
