Crap's Profile

Crap’s profile

The name’s Mike Pride, but don’t call me that. People have come to call me Mikey, Crap, Pride, Mikey buddy, Buddy, and even Suicide and Sex Machine, which I will explain later. I recently graduated from Rutgers University: Cook College with a BS in Animal Science: Pre-veterinary Medicine and will be attending vet school in East Bumblefuck in the Caribbean. Actually, I’ll be at Ross University on the Caribbean island of St. Kitts where I will learn as much as possible for a little over 2 years, then return to the US to complete my schooling with a year of medical rotations at one of the vet schools in the states.

I guess I should probably explain where I came from to make sure this is a completely random profile with no chronological order. I was born in Staten Island, NY, but lived in New Jersey my entire life. I grew up in South River, NJ where everyone knows everybody else in school since the town is only 2.2 miles wide in radius. At the age of 12, I moved to East Brunswick, NJ where I learned that I am a true river rat. It was hard moving to a town where the class size was 640 students where in south river it was 88. But I dealt and was very active in Cross Country (which I made varsity), Spring Track (which I didn’t particularly enjoy) and Ultimate Frisbee (which a group of us who loved cross country but hated track worked and fought hard to coordinate and make successful). Plus there were those random after school activities and such, but they are less exciting and would make this more intolerable to read. So currently I live by the beach now, which is awesome for me because I love the ocean. Not much to say about that since I lived Rutgers during the school year.

Now is where I explain the Suicide and sex machine names, so if you’re still with me, congratulations! You’re much more patient and loving then most of the human race. Two friends of mine started Ultimate Frisbee at East Brunswick high school in my sophomore year. We totally sucked when we started out! I mean, we could be Highland Park’s team, that was it, and they are the worst of the worst, so at least we weren’t them. So we decided to join a summer league and learn how to play the game. Although we didn’t win any games over there, they taught us how to play the game, and even gave us all trophies for being the most dedicated players. After that summer we just got better and better, took on harder teams and joined tournaments and racked up the experience. Once we were seniors we were the best team in the state, #1 in NJ among those schools that participated in competitions. We all had nicknames, which corresponded to different plays. My nickname was Suicide, which I got because I was very good playing a mid on defense. I would go crazy blocking and making interceptions, diving and jumping all over the place. So I was Suicide, which stuck with me at school. The other nickname during high school was sex machine, but that was due less to me and more to the 1967 Mustang I own and drove to school. Random people would know me by that name and car, and the cross country, track, and frisbee people would know me as Suicide. So of course during my graduation, people shouted “Yeah Sex Machine!!” My mom loved that one, hehe,

I’m not going to bother writing likes and dislikes; this is not a dating service, dammit! And besides, who really cares right now, I’m sure you just want me to end this stupid thing already. So that’s it. What comes next in my life nobody knows, but I’m going to make a positive difference to a lot of people and animals in this world, that’s all I know and that’s all that matters!
