Guest Flyboy Report post Posted July 25, 2002 With all the hype of Damian Gonzalez's birthday steaming up, I had a chance to sit down with the man himself and interview him. Hearts were broken, people were made... all in this interview. Embrace this interview... embrace it. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Adam West: Well, Damian... another year has come and gone. How you feel about that? Damian Gonzalez: Quite frankly, the year that just passed wasn't that great, hopefully the next one is much better. Its not like I'll gain any more privileges now that I'm past the 21 stage. Adam West: I suppose so. You could already drink, have sex with girls legally, smoke, etc. So, what are your plans now? Damian Gonzalez: Well, my life has been pretty stagnant for the past year. I'm trying to save some money so I can pay off a school debt and go back to school. I've been out of work for a few weeks now and I'm going to look for another one soon. Adam West: Well, you're unemployed and trying to pay off college debts... so that begs the college: whom does The Dames live with? Damian Gonzalez: Oohh, you don't hold back any punches... I live with my mom. (Damian gasps.) Adam West: You have stated that the horrific events of 9-11 have left you jobless. What other things have that horrible day done to the fellow Yawker native? Damian Gonzalez: Well, being a fucking eyewitness to the event, I was very moved by what happened. I've done a lot this year that I haven't before, just to try and live my life to the fullest. I try not to take shit for granted anymore Adam West: Very well said. Many people have wondered... well I have… how did a rookie poster on the SmartMarks board suddenly become the Admin of it in such a short span of time? Damian Gonzalez: Well, it’s about time that I set the record straight. I love message boards...there was this place named Wrestlingtalks.com that I used to mod, but it died... well, after a long time of searching for a new place, I found the Smarks board. However, about a week or so within the time I was there, a whole big mess started which ended up in the WDI split.... and then SK decided to drop the site all together. Now, with no one taking care of the forums, and SK himself saying that it could pretty much go to hell.... a few posters decided that they were going to make sure the place didn’t die. In that meeting, we decided to make a new site and restore the board, so TheSmartMarks.com was born. The name, which wasn't the original name for the site (it was supposed to be Vanilla Midgets, but someone had already taken it) was open, and I bought the domain. The board was being hosted on Mike's server, but he was running out of space and would have to drop it...so I bought a server for which I pay monthly. So, one day, mike makes me a Super Mod...WITHOUT TELLING ME. And apparently, it pissed the other mods off, and deservedly so. And the other mods were made Super Mods to counter attack. After about a month of site preparation, the site launched and everything was all good. Then, Mike the admin approached me about the board upgrade and after I looked it over, I thought it was a great idea, so we went with it. However, I told him that I wanted the ability to change things, because frankly, Mike's not on all the time. So, he made me an Admin. That’s pretty much it. As the Admin, I've really tried not to step on anyone's toes. I kept the same mods when I took over, because frankly, they were and still are doing a kick ass job. I just want to make sure things run smoothly...I am not on no power trip Adam West: Wow. Your life story all in one paragraph. (Adam goes gets a tissue) Beautiful, really. Oh... the questions! I'm sure the ladies want to know this. If the Dames is SO sexy... why does he have to masturbate SO much? Damian Gonzalez: Well, I was in a relationship for over 18 months, and it was my first real relationship. Since it ended, I haven't really moved on, and a guy's got needs. (Damian smiles) Adam West: So true. I guess that would make us... 'kitten killers', hm? I know what you mean about the relationship thing. It bites so much. As for your ex, what are you doing in terms of getting her back? Damian Gonzalez: Well, I was trying to get her back, but I've finally gotten it through my thick skull that it most likely wont happen, so right now, I’m concentrating on trying to get over her. Since I don’t really meet too many girls, (no, not because I’m on the net a lot), its not like I’m looking for someone to help me get over her. Adam West: Does Dames love Jesus? Damian Gonzalez: No. I'm as Agnostic as it gets. Not Athiest.... Agnostic. Adam West: Well that was simple. Now, what are you feelings on how people say the SmarkMarks forum is full of bitter fans with nothing better to do than complain? Damian Gonzalez: If you go to ANY "Smart" wrestling site, you'll find people complaining nowadays. I'd like to think that it’s because the product hasn't been good lately and all we want is some quality. However, I'll be honest, sometimes I think they can be a little too negative. Adam West: With the HHHating and such? Damian Gonzalez: Yeah, that’s a prime example. I'm not a HHHater, but at the same time, I can understand the negativity. But when HHHating it’ses up in EVERY DAMN THREAD... including the PORNO folder of all places, it’s a little too much. Adam West: A proud HHHater myself, I too think that is too much. Porn? That's a place to get your jollies and discuss the goodness of pornography. What does the Dames see for the future for the SmartMarks forums? Any changes or anything of that sort? Damian Gonzalez: Well, the site has been growing at a fast rate, as well as the board, so we should be seeing more of an influx of new posters. In terms of the board itself, the upgrade is great and doesn't need much changing. I honestly believe that our board could eventually become as big as IGN's. Adam West: I've noticed the growth of the board... it's looking quite yummy. Why hasn't Dames given me Dawn Marie's screen name, damnit?! Damian Gonzalez: because the person who gave it to me asked me to keep it in confidence. (Damian smiles a bit) I doubt I’ll ever use it anyway, I’ve never seen her on. Adam West: Hmph! Anyhow... what does Dames think of New York? Damian Gonzalez: The state or the city? Adam West: The state in general. Damian Gonzalez: Well, the state is okay.... I’ve been to a few smaller cities and a few hick towns and its just odd, because I'm so used to being in the city. Hell, I went to college upstate for 2 and half years. The city however, is the Capital of the World to me and I doubt I'll ever leave. And I LOVE THE BRONX dammit! Adam West: No Texas women for you, then. If Dames had a million dollars...? Damian Gonzalez: Dames would probably get a ton of DVD's, a ford mustang, buy a house for myself, for my mom and chill with the rest. Oh, and a PHAT wardrobe, cousin. Adam West: So, it WOULD be enough because you wouldn't be robbing armored trucks, eh? Interesting. I've noticed Dames has a knack for rapping... what will he do with that talent? Damian Gonzalez: HA! I've done maybe 4 or 5 rap songs.... and they aren't that great. I’m a better singer in my opinion, but I’m not gifted musically. I am not going anywhere. Adam West: No, DamesTV to replace MTV?! FUCK!! Why doesn't Dames have a popular name like... Adam West? Damian Gonzalez: Because this has been my nickname for about 6 years now and I’m known for it. No need to change it. Adam West: Yo, Dames… can I get a 'Hell Yeah'? Damian Gonzalez: Hell yeah! ‘Lets get down to business...I don’t got no time to play around...what is this...’ Adam West: That warms my heart. When did you realize that you loved wrestling? Damian Gonzalez: At the ripe old age of 4. Adam West: If you could change ANYTHING in the world at the *present* time... what would it be? Damian Gonzalez: Seriously.... the whole beef in the Middle East. That WHOLE thing just makes me feel uncomfortable. It reminds me of two little kids fighting over a toy. The toy being the holy land. But there's no parents to just separate them, bitchslap them both and say "none of you will have it, so there”. Instead, innocent people have to die. Adam West: Well, Dames... as the 20th question approaches us, I must say this has been quite an experience. What would DamiAn like to leave with the readers on his birthday? Damian Gonzalez: I don’t know... all I'd like to say is that I'd like to think I'm a reasonable, approachable guy, so feel free to talk to me. Adam West: Thank you for your time, Dames. Damian Gonzalez: No problem. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (Actually, we were just messing around on AIM, and we decided to post it in the NHB for giggles.. so there ya go.)

Guest swan Report post Posted July 25, 2002 For some reason I don’t think you are getting the props you were hoping for. Witty yes, but I think you should have done some creative editing before posting. Here is part of an interview that was conducted with The Dames when he was drunk so he won’t remember: Me: Well, well. Another year down, what is your super secret birthday wish that nobody in the world knows about? Dames: Well I would love to lick Rosie O’Donnell’s ass clean. Baby got back. I’d love to do this on a trampoline while midgets dressed up as Mexican wrestlers jumped around me. You won’t tell anyone will you? Me: Course not. You are stuck at home, no money no job. What have you been doing for cash on the side till things pick up? Dames: I go on down to Times Square dressed as Gold Dust and give lap dances for $10 for all the freaky horn dogs down there. May not be the best gig, but it pays for my internet connection. Me: Wow, too much information for me. Dames: Yeah I’m freaky like that. Can I get a Whoot, Whoot?!?! Me: Ah sure, Whoot, whoot.
