New MySpace & Blogging: This is my first Captain JC blog since moving to the new MySpace. I started blogging on entertainment related topics in the original MySpace as far back as 2007. Unfortunately, the new version does not include blogging so I will now voice such thoughts in this new location.

Looking back now, I think about what characteristics earns this spy the title of hero. I realize that my key lesson learned is his ability to remain the epitome of cool under pressure. When faced with a high stress situation, I channel James Bond and remember that losing my cool will only make the situation worse. Being a shy guy in my youth, one way to overcome my shyness was to channel Bond and do what Bond would do. This approach worked for me on several occasions.
