Mike Forest | Points in Case Columnist

Mike Forest has finally graduated from Michigan State University, where he majored in film studies, although he admits that even he forgot
what that means. In his free time, Mike writes scripts and feeds the homeless. He also likes to watch cartoons and stand-up comedy. Curiously, he once won a bet by downing
three packets of fire sauce at Taco Bell. He was dubbed "The Beech" his freshman year and wishes the nickname had a better backstory.

Extended Bio

So... you actually want to know more about me huh? Well this is a first. Let’s see.



I finally graduated from Michigan State University this spring. I think my degree was in English and something to do with film. Either way, it doesn’t matter because
I now have a restraining order against me that prohibits me from ever setting foot on campus again. I tell you, masturbate publicly at one football game....

I’m a cat person, which, contrary to popular opinion, does not make me a pussy. I love movies, but don’t ask me if I’ve seen ________, because if
it’s even remotely obscure, I probably haven’t. Don’t ask me what my favorite movie is either. I hate that question. It’s like trying to pick the
best sex you’ve ever had. So much of it is good, and you kinda forget the other stuff that wasn’t so good, but it’s better than slavery...almost
always.



As far as music goes, I think I am forever stuck in the late 90's. Give me some old Bush, Pearl Jam, Nirvana or Counting Crows any day. Other bands: Incubus, The Cure,
Dashboard Confessional, Phish, The Doors, The Rolling Stones, Our Lady Peace, etc. Don’t tell anybody, but even though I’m white, I’m from the D, so I
have quite a bit of Eminem. Lately I’ve been grooving to Common and Kanye as well.
