Well if you really want to know...

Well, if you’re reading this, I’ll assume you actually want to know about me and start with the basics. I’m twenty years old, I’m about 5’11” and wear my hair long, and I’ve lived in California my whole life.

I’d have to say I’m definitely a Californian, and not just because I happen to live here. I tan when I’m in the sun long enough (not that I’ve actually been outside in daylight recently) and I fear tornadoes and hurricanes over earthquakes.

I actually find it rather amusing when I visit other parts of the country and hear things like “Oh my gosh, you live in California; aren’t you afraid of earthquakes?” the answer is no, I’m not. There have been two in my lifetime that were big enough to cause serious damage anywhere near me, otherwise the windows rattle every one or two years.

Enough about earthquakes, back to talking about me (that’s why you’re here isn’t it?). I was born on December 17th, 1984, at Tarzan Regional Medical Center, in (you guessed it) Tarzan California. I don’t actually live in Tarzan anymore, and currently reside in a sleepy little town called Camarillo. I do a lot of things; I’m a writer, gamer, computer nerd, graphic design student, teacher, anime Otaku, closet treckie, artist, and generally a nice guy.

I’ve been working for two years now as a computer technician at a private school. It’s a fairly simple job, most of what I do is basic trouble shooting and maintenance. I spend a lot of time installing software, changing ink cartridges, cleaning up spy ware, things like that. Things that would not be cost effective to employ a highly skilled IT Technician for (Read: I work cheap). It’s not a job that just anyone can do, it does take a wide knowledge of computers and desktop systems, as well as good trouble shooting skills. It’s really not that I’m ‘smarter than everyone else’, I just know how systems should operate, how to tell when they aren’t operating properly, and what steps to take to restore proper operations.

I have taught a class now two years in a row as part as part of Creative Arts Workshop. It’s a local thing I’ve been a part of every year since I can remember. The class was nothing fancy, mostly a play games and have fun while learning a little about computers class, this year I have bigger plans (Read: Flash Mob).

If your still reading this I guess you want to know more about me than I thought, so . feel free to use the simple navigation buttons to your left to read about more specific aspects of me.
