| Biography and Life goals |
| This is just a short biography. Nothing too in depth or overly intricate. I was born and raised in Ohio. Middletown to be more exact, though if we are going to be technical, I did spend the first years of my life in a city called Trenton. Regardless, most of my years where I actually can remember them, were spent in this small town between Cincinnati and Dayton. Getting an idea where the name probably came from? Rather than breaking down every moment of my life to you, I think I will keep it simple. I was not the happiest of children, but neither was I unhappy. I was picked on a fair bit, but I like to think that I have grown up stronger for it. Boy Scouts helped a great deal and I eventually became an Eagle Scout. High school wrestling did a lot for my self image since during that time I lost a lot of weight, got contacts, was able to become stronger and even gained some level of popularity when I became the captain of the Varsity team for two years. College came and went in something of a blur, but oddly enough, the things I gained the most from in college were not directly linked to college itself. I started playing a form of game called a 'MUSH' actively. Up to that point I had played table top Role Playing Games, but this was a new thing for me and it gave me a real chance to expand my imagination as well as increase my typing speed. I doubt I would ever be much of a typist at all without that. Now I just need to work on my spelling. You never know where life will take you, and though I have graduated college, I am not focusing on the area of work my degree is for. I grow rather tired of being told that I am wasting my degree. I can't seem to make people realize that if you have learned something, it is not a waste. I learned a lot from college, not just from my studies, but from just being there. I have met many good friends and expanded the horizon of my knowledge by leaps and bounds. Where do I go from here? Well, I have a list of goals I fully intend to finish off in life. These have been what has driven me since the beginning and how I am able to keep plugging along despite whatever life throws at me. Things have happened in life and my plans change often, but I am always focused on the goal, not the path, so I rarely get held back for long. I have been lucky enough to fufill several of these goals and fully expect to accomplish a few more in the next year or two. If you want more about me, some of the sections in my writing page will be dedicated to small stories from my life. |
