MAD MAN MIKE'S
recently chosen for an award for best web design...How in the world did you land on this page, anyways? Maybe you were seaching for fun things to do with jello, maybe you were trying to find info on how to clone yourself or your farm animals, or maybe you just KNOW WHERE TO GO TO SEE A KICK-ASS WEB SITE! (The language used here is suitable for most family members, but not all). I started creating this random web site in the winter of '97, and every now and again I have been updating and adding to the pages here.... right now my site isn't too bad (so I'm told), but it can't compete with some of those wild and crazy psycho web pages out there that take control of your brain when you visit. I'll be improving stuff as I get the free time to do so. Sit back, relax awhile, and enjoy your stay! Please do not steal the towels and washcloths you were issued in your bathroom, because you will be billed later. Also, feel free to visit anytime, because this web page is:
Right now I am taking a break from my life in the USA, so I came over here to Brisbane, Australia for two semesters. I'll be here at the University of Queensland until December of 1998. If you are interested in reading a frequently updated online journal of my trip, please click HERE. Be warned- I have a tendency to ramble on and on about stuff!
Reading is great fun, and if you don't like to read you should scroll on down a little more and check out something else. But if you do like books, check out my page of really cool books!! I read whenever I get the chance, and there are all kinds of great books out there that I bet you haven't read.. My bookstore contains some of my faves, plus a lot of selections chosen by some incredibly cool people I know... plus, you can BUY books right here! Just click on the word "Books" above and you will be whisked away to Mad Man Mike's Bookstore! (recently updated!)

Also, while you are at my web site, check out some cool new pictures I have online of the band TONIC, including one of me and the band! Oh yeah! Click the little "Lemon Parade" CD cover.

Curious as to who I am? I know that you must be, unless of course you already know me (lucky you!). Lemme introduce myself- my name is Mike Corbin and I am usually a student at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. I am a Psychology and Biology major, and I am finishing semester right now
Speaking of the phrase "SHOW ME THE MONEY" from the excellent movie Jerry Maguire, believe it or not I actually had the opportunity to chat with the writer/director/producer of the movie, Cameron Crowe. The answer he gave me to one of the questions I asked was PUBLISHED in the March 14, 1997 issue of Entertainment Weekly in Cybertalk under the Multimedia section- I'm REALLY excited about this!! It's so cool! I guess my questions must have been pretty important, huh? To see what I asked (and how he responded) click below
Random Poem Time!!!
Surfing the web is great most of the time, but what makes it really cool is when you actually learn something new or come across something incredibly cool. Well, now is your chance- READ THIS POEM! It is "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock" by T. S. Eliot, and it is amazing. I first read it about 8 years ago, and I remember liking it a lot, especially some of the questions it raises. Now, many years later, its meaning is totally different to me- the multiple allusions to Shakespeare, Dante, and the Bible make a lot more sense now than they did to my 12 year old mind, and the use of vivid imagery and metaphor is even more astounding. Read it once and you'll think it's good; twice and you'll think it's great; and after that you better hold onto your head and keep it from exploding! Don't ever say that Mad Man Mike didn't try to increase your literary knowledge! (Special thanks to Steve for bringing this back to my attention.)
You are wacko number Ok, Ok, so that counter isn't very accurate... here is the real counter in case you are curious as to how many people have been here! Hee hee... if you didn't like the other counter you have no sense of humor!!
to visit Mad Man Mike's World of... uhm, totally random (but cool) stuff, since its creation on February 22, 1997. Unlike some people, I don't give out awards to every 100th, millionth, or billionth person to visit my site, but I love all of my visitors from the bottom of my spleen. Best wishes in your on-line adventures.

Here we are almost at the bottom of my somewhat cool page. Did you actually think I would let you go this far without seeing my OLD mascot, VIPER DUDE? Haha. I appologize for making you waste any of your precious time if you didn't enjoy the site, but chances are if you are at this web page right now you have nothing better to do! Check back in a little while (like, maybe 25 years!!) and I'll have something cool to look at. Email me if you want- Especially if you liked something here. I promise to read every word you write and maybe I'll respond, too!
