52 Stories: Captain Awesome


Inspired by One Hundred Names by Cecelia Ahern, I've decided to ask people some thought provoking questions about themselves, as I feel that everyone has a story to tell. If you're just joining me on this journey today, please check out the previous posts from this series, as well.

I met this week's storyteller in 1994, back in my Rocky Horror days. He was genuinely nice and would even send me letters at school. He got married to another friend of mine from the theater where we saw RHPS. The wedding was at the same theater, right before the movie....the guys wore dresses and the girls wore tuxes. Definitely a memorable night! After that, I lost touch with both of them, but we reunited a few years ago on Facebook. 


Name you'd like to go by: Captain Awesome (or Bill Napier is fine)
Age (or age range): 39 for a few weeks, but it still counts
Gender: All man!
Location: Illinois

What is an experience that is legendary for you?
Meeting KMFDM backstage. Certain unmentionable girlfriend moments. Meeting DRI. Rocky Horror Experience and getting married there.

What is your guilty pleasure?
Too many to list. Mostly a bunch of ordinary little things that are too ordinary to notice.

What is something you've never done but you would like to do?
Go on a real honeymoon. and travel out of the states but not combined.

If you could give someone one of your favorite things as a gift, what would it be and why?
My collection of personal writings, poetry, and art I guess would be my most invaluable gift (to me anyway)

What is something you did that changed someone's life?
Don't think one would really know that answer would they? Sometimes the littlest things one can do has a huge ripple effect on others. Dunno.

What part of your personality is now extinct?
Sorry if offensive, but loosing my asshole-ish religious persona. I really feel it drove some people away. And it allowed me to become human and lovable. So it attracted others.

What is one thing that you find really funny?
Tom Green, Mr. Bean, etc. that's two-ish things I guess.

Tell me one thing you love about yourself (or a gift you'd like to get yourself, where money is not an issue):
I'm funny. I give my comedy to others to enjoy.

What TV show, book or movie is most like your life?
I have a wide eclectic set of favs.
TV show: The Simpsons
Book (series): If I have to pick one it is the Foundation series.
Movie: Falling Down. It describes me so much and how close I can be to being a criminal for simply being an ordinary man.

What is something that not many people know about you?
*Censored*
