"I think there're pieces of me you've never seen..."
- Tori Amos, "Tear In Your Hand"
Since at one point I claimed on the main page that I would put some info
about myself on here, I suppose now is as good a time as any. If you don't
really care about me or my life, feel free to press the back button on your
browser. You have been warned.
A Brief History
I was born. Then again, isn't everyone? Yeah, yeah, yeah.. test-tube babies
and all. But you know what I mean. But, I was born. In a blizzard. See
the picture to the right. So, for the first few weeks I was alive, it
snowed. This was in the God-forsaken northern wasteland known as DeKalb,
Illinois. Not much happened there.
Then, I moved to Kentucky, the Bluegrass State (see the picture to the left).
We have horses, and basketball. That's right, basketball. The only thing
that makes this (also) God-forsaken state bearable. I grew up the in
rinky-dink town of Versailles (also known as Lexington, Jr.). Then I
graduated from that evil, mind-limiting place known as high school and
moved on to expand my mind and contract my bank account at that wonderful
institution known as college.

-- Chef
Yes, college. That nostalgic place where sex is easier to find than beer,
skipping class is a planned activity, and a list of local dealers is
handed out at orientation. Well, not really, but wouldn't it be nice? So
anyway, I'm going to college at the University of Kentucky where I'm
majoring in masochism with a minor in sadism. (For those of you not in the
loop, that's a double major in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science
and a minor in math.) I should graduate eventually. I think.
So, as it stands, I take classes, and go to work. That's about it.
Hobbies and Other Interests
You're probably wondering what I like to do in my spare time. Obviously I
must have some if I bothered to waste your time (and mine) putting this page
up. Well, you're WRONG! I have no free time. Ever. But, if I
did, this is stuff that I'd do:
- Bridge
Card game of kings. There's even a column in the paper about it. How
cool is that?
- Ultimate Frisbee
To hell with 'soccer'. I don't care if Jesus, Mary, and Joseph are out
back kicking around. Give me a frisbee and an open field any day.
- Frisbee Golf
The more civilized version of the old Scottish classic. This game also
doesn't require a $300 set of golf clubs.
- Tori Amos
Yes, I know. Not gramatically correct. But the meaning comes across
just fine for me, and since this is my web page, you can just deal. To be
honest, I'm quite infatuated with the lovely and talented Tori. She's
absolutely beautiful and plays one hell of a piano. Unlike everyone else
(and their dog!) who likes Tori, I'm NOT making a website about
her, dedicated to her, containing poems to her, pictures of her, or
stories involving her. Let's once again go over the word redundancy
again and again.
- Sleep
Sadly, in this day and age, the amount of I get sleep has become less
and less important to everyone else. So, I do it when I can.
