Origin of the Name
I'm KomodoVistas. I was just trying to think of something creative. My pet iguana name is Komodo. Vistas was kinda random... I think I was doing some Spanish homework that night.

Interests
1. I'm trying out cartooning. I wanted to be a cartoonist for awhile, just never took it serious until now. Balto was a huge inspiration for me. I came across BS and thought, "I can pursue cartooning seriously now that I have a group!". Cartooning is hard but I have a little artistic talent to help me out and I doodle, experiment, and practice.

2. Football and lacrosse. Oh daddy do I love head butting people in the chest. Gives me a fuzzy feeling inside.

3. I'm open to most music, but I'm mostly a rock guy. Classic rock is very nice.

How I heard about Balto
Funny thing is, I came across the movie when researching Jack London, "The Call of the Wild" and the whole sled dog genre. I loved the movie because I really attached to the character Balto, he reminds me of me in so many ways. For example, he's kind of an outcast, and I'm kind of an outcast. He wants to help people in any way and I want to help people in any way (that's why I'm planning on the USAF Pararescue).

What scares me
1. Furries: I'm just a guy who likes to draw dogs and wolves. Because of that, I have to encounter furries. They frighten me and give me nightmares. I'm not joking. I dreamed I was in the woods and a pack of guys in fur suits started to chase me.

2. Dobson Flies: Good lord those things are hideous!

3. Pointed Objects: When somebody approaches me with a sharp object, I become very unstable.

4. Land Before Time Sequels: I find it disturbing how many sequels there are.

Current Status
I'm in Maryland, as a photographer for the football team. I hardly ever saw the field anyway, so I quit playing and started to film and snap photos for the team.
Looking at colleges. I have Ohio State, Wright State, U. of Delaware, and U. of Washington on the watch list.

Check it. My DA account. I'm mostly a photographer really.
