Yep, that's me up there.
Well, for starters, I am 33 years old. Sounds a bit young to some, a bit old to others, but I have lived a life time in those 33 years. No complaints though. All things in life have a purpose, and mine has brought me here.
I live in Minnesota now, but I have lived pretty much all over, from the Midwest to the Eastcoast. I currently work for
Mayo Medical Center as an Associate Programmer.
A few of my hobbies/interests include: The Internet (Can you say.....JUNKIE!), Computers (Obviously! It kind of goes with above.), Writing, Music, Movies, and Role Playing.
My interest in computers is a long standing one. It seems to that I've had a computer around me for as long as I can remember. Well, maybe not as long as I can remember, but close enough. Over the years I have been involved in local BBSes, On-line Services, and the Internet for years. I've beta-tested software, Co-Sysoped on BBSes, help run areas of Role Playing and Poetry on Prodigy. I have also helped design websites and now I own a web hosting company (Shameless plug:
All You Need Hosting).
I've been writing for as long as I can remember as well. I use to write songs for a local band, when I was a kid. They eventually broke up, but I continued to write. My graduating year of High School, I had a lot of my Poetry published in various Anthologies. I also write short stories, novels, etc... Someday, I might follow the dream, and see if I can get published again. Check out the Writer's Block. I plan on putting some of my poetry and other writings there, as well as those things sent to me for others to see.
Role Playing. I started Role Playing around the age of 11 or so. For someone who liked to write, this was a perfect outlet for some of my overly active imagination. I started out with the old boxed version of basic Dungeons & Dragons. If you're a Role Player, you remember it well. The old red box and the cheap dice that came with a crayon to color in the numbers. I stayed up all night reading those books. Role Playing has a special spot in my heart for me. You see, it was more than a game. My grandmother, the only real family I've ever had, bought that boxed set for me. She was a very special lady. I cherished each and every gift she ever got me. This particular gift has lasted a lifetime. She never attempted to criticize anything I ever did. She never tried to take away my dreams. In fact, she attempted to help them grow. She always believed in me. Anyway, I feel that every time I Role Play, I'm using the gift given to me by a very special person in my life. Enough on that. ;-} I Role Play AD&D and many other types of Role Playing games. I have a mini-library of Role Playing Games.
Well, that's a little bit about me. Nothing overly flashy. Nothing overly dramatic. Well, maybe that Role Playing bit was a little, but I tried to stop myself (heh heh). Feel free to continue to look around and enjoy yourself.
Oh, wondering where the picture of me on the piano is? It's still around.
