I have dreamed of being a surgeon--that is, one who operates on computers (or repairman). Since I was about twelve, I started learning simplistic programming languages and then delved into such things as web page design, word processors, spreadsheets, and databases. These are my objects of interest. I also worked on making countless “dummy” documents so that I learn how it works in the real world.

I have been home schooled all my life. My best, though most difficult, subject in school has been math. I learned facts in high school that even my parents either never learned, or had forgotten over the years. By then, I was practically on my own, though my parents were there to help any way they could. It was very struggling and arduous trying to understand such knowledge without anyone else to ask, but I survived and continued by nonstop work. When I got to my senior year, I took on Physics to learn as much as I could about the "science that explains all sciences".

I hope to enjoy my career in the technological field; I continue to learn so I may apply it someday soon--that is my most important wish. As the world advances with new equipment and procedures, we must continue to keep up. As Shakespeare once stated: "On this…sea we are now afloat, and we must take the tide as it serves, else, lose our venture."

Of course my life is not made of just chips, bytes, and textbooks; reading classic/mystery novels is one of my relaxations though I have other hobbies too. In sports, I have always liked playing tennis and bowling. In music...well, I play the acoustic guitar, harmonica and some piano, and have been known to sing a bit too. Classical music is my forte, and I burn, on occasion, outdated LP records into CD’s on the computer, as well as (tried to) compose virtual MIDI music. Lastly, I love reciting poetry, it gives me and others entertainment when there's nothing else to do (my Grandfather is an excellent speaker and has passed a little small bit of his tips on).

As can already be seen in all of my favorite hobbies, I range far and wide from old to new, serious to fun. Call me what you will: you can only try to describe who I am.

I must confess, I do not have a professional skill as a photographer, although I try. However, I do know about aperture and time values, which is some of the rudimentary knowledge of SLR cameras. (See my fast growing group "Pickture Perfect")

Classical music, marches, or some folk music is my line up. Some think me to be a little strange because of it, but I don't mind. I am very patriotic, so naturally, I love singing about the USA. (See my group: "American Patriotics")
