Personal Ramblings

Hello ladys and gentlepeoples. It was once said that every person will have 10 minutes of fame in their lifetime. However, with modern technology, I find it amazing that soon, everyone will have their 10 MB of fame, or a something similar. Basically, here's mine. I will warn you in advance, I do not like unnecessary frills. I follow the KISS principle ( Keep it Simple Stupid). I may experiment but for the most part I will keep it simple. So if you are the kind of person who like waiting 20 minutes for all the flashy lights and animation to load up , you will not find it here( I prefer 30 seconds waiting for something interesting).

Instead I hope this little outpost called a home page will make you think. It might make you think " this guy is a crazed maniac"(you wouldn't be the first), it might make you look at something different. But most of all, I just hope people who actually take the time to read this and not just go to the links, discover that you can have fun no matter what you do,if you look in the right places, and as long as you can make fun of yourself :-)

 Now the formalities, the dreaded " about myself " that people do not read. I am a student at the University of Cincinnati I am majoring in International Affairs, which is pretty much what I have been raised to do. I plan to stay in school as long as possible and avoid reality as long as I can. I wasn't always this lazy, I was an International Baccalaureate student( one point away from a diploma). I would recommend this high school program to those who are willing to put themselves through a total hellish lifestyle of seclusion and solitude while painstakingly studying and typing an endless stream of papers. In all honesty I enjoyed the program, it taught me how to deal with extreme levels of stress and got me almost a year off college, which doesn't mean a thing considering the only thing I know is I'm gonna be Batman when I grow up ( if not I'll settle for President).

As for significant people in my life I have few. If you can't tell from my description above , I'm kind of a loner. That doesn't mean I hide in the mountains and hate all people, reading phiolophy and eating elk. Simply put, I have difficulty meeting people who interest me, and once I find them I keep them near me untill they bore me.

The people who cannot bore me of course is my family. I have a largish family being the oldest of 5 children, and yes we are all from the same parents. Imagine 7 people in one home, two of them under 10 year old, and you understand the chaos that surrounds me.

Someone who also never bores me, and is in fact quite the opposite is my girlfriend Janice. I know people just kind of roll their eyes reading about someone's girlfriend off their web page, but I feel the need to mention her. She's the resaon I've actually been out of the house more recently, and put hope into my life. She has her own web page at http://www.geocities.com/Broadway/Stage/1864/ Normally I'd shy away from posting her website here in fear of the freaks clicking to her website to send her sick email. But I figure why would any sicko be reading MY web page..present company excluded of course.

As for pictures... what I've been known to say in chat and on my webpage might cause people to want to kill me. I figure if I don't have pictures of me on this chances are those people won't recognize me on the street and open fire. However because of a couple sugestions I guess I'll do it. I didn't want a guestbook, people made me get one, I don't want pics of me, people made me put them up. Oh well I should be use to this by now.

Now to my web expirence. I first started using my modem when I was 13, way back in 1992. I began calling around local BBS systems, and in the process met some really interesting( to say the least) people whom I consider good friends. To this day I have several friends I've met there who I talk to on a daily basis. Over the years I developed a nice LARGE selection of quotes and wise says I would use to get my point across. The dozens of people I've used these sayings on, fondly( or atleast I hope fondly ) call these sayings Hickisms. I have put made a collection of favorites available.

For God sake I beg you, look through the website. I've spent alot of time going through the coding and hunting for graphics to create this mess so I want to know it's being looked at. Email me and tell me it sucks for all I care, just be prepared to show me yours so to speak so I know how I SHOULD be doing it. While your at it, sign the stupid guest book and cover it with hateful sayings. I honestly dont' care, I just wanna see if people read this little thing.
