The Man Behind the Madness...

So - You want to know more about me huh? Oh well - prepare to be bore to tears! Lets see - I have spent most of my life working on writing. Even now most of my time is spent working on various projects - writing - typing - editing. So much to do - so little time.

Within the pages of this site are thirty of my web books. some of these are here because they deal with copyrighted material - ie they are fanfiction - or are based on works that are copyrighted - ie the vampire: the masquerade stories or the Magic: the gathering stories.

But - like all things - the purpose of the site changed as I met people online. So - you have questions - let us see if we can answer some of them...

Who I am is strongly defined by who I am around. I always had issues with identity for some reason. I was always a bit of an outsider you see. I was raised on a military base - but my family wasn't military - so I was sort of an outsider. Friends - most of them moved - as thier families got posted.

As my schooling progressed - I ended up going to a city that I call the asshole of the universe - people from that area will know what I mean when i talk about that place - if not - ask. Anyway - the people from the base didn't get along with this city of inbred welfare assholes - so now we were two for two!

I then escaped that area - as there was no hope or illusion of hope for me there. there was no work. So then our hero - that being me traveled away from that cursed land of darkness and shadows and went to the land of opportunity - TORONTO!

Now - do understand one thing - I do hate where I was from - on so many levels. But - I still visit from time to time. Why? One reason and one reason only - family. My mom and dad still live there. They are the only reason I go that way - only reason.

What are some of my interests? Well - I like to read a lot. I also like to write - well like is not the right word - it is more like a compulsion or obsession. Writing was my drug for dealing with a world that confused me.

I like to play games - things like - Vampire: the Masquerade - a role playing game, Chess - a way of thinking, and various quest/fantasy based computer games - a coping device for dealing with stress.

I also like numerous manga - Japanese animation comics. I also have a bit of an anime collection library on VHS and DVD. I sometimes see them as more real that the real world.

I also have an interest in mineratures. I like to paint and make scenes with them. That is what drew me to Warhammer. It is a game - and another of my little addictions

What else? One - I do not like horses - I only got on one once - and that was more than enough. I also am a bit of a goth. I say a bit - because I am not quite as goth as I would like to be. But I am working on it.

I have an afinity for organizing things and sorting. I'm also a bit of a neat nut. But hey - it is not an obsession with me at least not yet.

I like to hang out with friends - go clubbing - you know do stuff? I have to keep in control during the week - I have to be collected restrained and politel. On the weekends - hey - that is me time! That is when I unwind and get to indulge. That is when I get to have fun and live a little.

Education wise I graduated high school with honors. It was a catholic high school. I was into religion a bit until I happened there. there they got a little too preachy. They attacked my music and on some levels me. But I survived them and moved on.

Then from there I went to North Bay and studied Law and Security Administration. If I had taken the first semister more seriously - I would have graduated with honors. Life is learning.

I furthered my education via ICS. there through them I studied Journalism/ Short Story Writing.

After that I ventured to Toronto where I studied Book and Magazine Publishing and Copy Editing. It cost me a lot of money via student loans - a debt that I am still working on paying off, But that is the way of things
