The truth is out there--but it ain't pretty!

A wolf

Hi, I'm Wolfman (formerly Zarquon), AKA Mike Pesa. I'm a 22 year old senior at Kent State University, Ohio, USA. I'm scheduled to graduate in August (knock on wood). My interests include activism, independent media, Red Dwarf, history, and playing the harmonica. I finished my UnionSemester labor movement internship in New York City and I'm back in Kent now, but hopefully not for too much longer. I'm too busy to visit h2g2 very often these days, but if you drop me a line I will get back to you eventually--even if it's a year later!

I am a (rather inactive these days) member of Floor 42. Check it out. It's awesome! I have an old website, but I haven't updated it in years. Check out the links page. A "new" website (as I'm updating this in 2004, it's not very new anymore), Wolfman's Den is now online, but for some reason my home space was "moderated" after I put a link to it. Why is beyond me. There is nothing illegal or morally objectionable on it. Hopefully I can work this out with the h2g2 staff and repost the web address soon.

I set up a seperate website to host the lyrics to some of the more recent songs I've written. I am also the webmaster for an activist group at Kent State. The website is www.kentchange.org. Also, check out the magazine I edit, "Threshold". You can email me at mpesa@kent.edu.

Go Goo!

Cheers to the h2g2 web team for finally updating the navigation features on the Classic Goo "skin". I have stubbornly refused to give up my precious blue goo for the souless mainstreamness of alabaster, and consequently have sacraficed convenience in doing certain things like the paranoia meter (Who's Online). Now my h2g2 experience will be even more enjoyable, and I thank those responsible. Classic Goo--it's not just Goo, it's Classic!

I am a member of the
   Classic Goo Fan Club   

Calling All Vegetarians!

The H2G2 Vegetarian Society is a community for vegetarians on h2g2. Find helpful information and discuss vegetarian-realated issues! Join now!

Top Ten List Discontinued

Due to lack of time and talent, the top ten list will be discontinued until further notice. I just don't have time to do it anymore, and lately I've been slipping on quality. The archive will remain available, and I might come up with a new feature that's less time consuming. I apologize to everyone who enjoys reading my lists and I thank you for your attention.

No time
May 28, 2004

It should be painfully apparent by now that I've been making myself rather scarce at h2g2 for quite a while now. My last journal entry was made more than 3 years ago, before h2g2 sold out to--er, I mean was incorporated into the BBC. Anyway, I'm just writing this "entry" to point out the following:

(a.) I Have for some time been and continue to be almost inactive on h2g2

and

(b.) I have not forgotten about h2g2 and its wonderful denizens. I come back to it 2 to 6 times a year to update my details, reply to any messages I get, and look around to see what's changed since the last time I logged in. I plan to continue this rather pathetic routine for at least the next year, and probably for as long as h2g2 exists.

So I just wanted to make the situation completely clear to everyone. I really would like to visit h2g2 more often. Frankly I think it took a turn for the worse after the BBC deal, but it's still a remarkable forum that I truly enjoy being part of. Unfortunately, I doubt I'll ever have enough time to be a regular again.

I joined when I was a bored high school kid with nothing to do but read Douglas Adams and surf the internet. I'm now about to graduate from college (that's "uni" to my British readers) and in the next year I plan to travel to opposite ends of the country, visit another country, be the editor for a magazine, volunteer in the national office of a group I belong to, transition from my current crappy job to a completely new crappy job, apply for grad school (and take the dreaded GRE test) and much, much more. Sadly, h2g2 doesn't fit into my schedule more than 2 to 6 times a year.

Please feel free to email me if you ever want to talk about anything. I have no time for online forums, but I always try to make time for real-life people.

-Mike

A Llong long time ago...
Sep 27, 2000

Ever since I was a kid I always loved Weird Al Yankovic and last night I finally got to see him in concert! I went with 3 of my friends and it was awesome! He sang so many of his classics like Amish Paradise, Fat, Like a Surgeon, etc. as well as the ones from his new album Running with Scissors, and he even did a bunch of little improvs like a song about pizza to the tune of the Titanic theme. He changed his clothes for some of them like a fat suit for Fat and a hospital gown for Like a Surgeon. The best was when me and my friends stood up during Amish Paradise and started doing "the wave" and Weird Al looked right at us and motioned for the audience to start doing it and they did! Oh my God he is so funny. If you've only heard his songs on tape or cd you haven't seen half of what that guy has to offer! Weird Al has inspired me to write parodies of my own over the past few years and next Tuesday I sing them for my biggest crowd ever, probably over a hundred people. He was just like me in high school, the weird kid who wrote goofy songs and look where he landed. I still have my mind set on being a historian but if I every get a lucky break, he is my inspiration. But if I learned anything last night it was that wherever I go with my little comedy bit, I will never NEVER outstage the master! I know I sound like a freak talking about Weird Al Yankovic like he's some kind of god, but that man is genius pure genius, and I will remember that night for a Long long time.
