@dm3q4 - thanks... I did one in Season Three... And hopefully again next season (4)... hopefully the show wants me back, or enough people WRITE IN and tell them they want to see me back on the show.

@TomKiesche that's great, i was wondering what happened with clovis after that episodes. i thought you would be like a partner of jesse and walt in "the bussiness" for a while.

well, hope to see you in the third season then! im already watching it, it's a great tv show, and im sure a lot of people want to see more of you on it, your character have potential to be on more episodes or atleast the directors can kill you in a very cool way LOL!.

@Perroquet51 - doesn't sound funny at all... Man do I have stories about what I wanted to be when I was a kid. Man, do I. Love your story.

My dream was to be a champion archer. Sounds funny but I was a brilliant archer at a very young age. Although my parents would have been fine with any decision I made, I got totally shot down in college where, at the time, archery was reserved for women only. The discouragement that I faced there, was humiliating and I simply gave it up, altogether. Nowadays, of course, they couldn't get away with it. Thank goodness for that.
