To hell with it. After all these years, I'm making a User Page.

If you wanna know a few things about me:

• I'm a Long Island transplant to Brooklyn.
• My username is an homage to Metallica (my real first name is Alan).
• Wikipedia is my online respite from the world.
• I’m a stickler about templates.
• I'm a skilled writer and photographer (still need to find the courage to get a photo or two on here).
• I try to avoid controversy and work behind the scenes, here, but bureaucracy knows no boundaries (I dread bureaucracy).
• If there's a gray area on a major policy, I might just seek to resolve it.
• This is so hilariously bad, you have to watch it
• I was the manager of a small Wikia/Fandom project.
