I wake up every day for what? I wake up every day and go to work. It seems that once you get a job, all you are is a job. Just another person stuck in the system, as you start to notice your freedom drifting away; realizing you are growing up into the "real world," watching your dreams fade further and further away. I wake up other days to go to class so I can wake up in the future to a better job which may make some dreams and goals into a closer reach.

I wake up every day and eat so I can stay alive to wake up another day. I wake up to have fun, to hang out with friends, to learn something new, to make me a better person than the other guy, so I can have something to be proud of myself about. If you see yourself just as another ordinary person, then what is the importance of having you around? Ok, so maybe not. I am serious most of the time; wanting to talk about anything constructive. Most of my friends just joke around, and I like to joke around too, but where is the seriousness? Almost everyone I know, with the exception of maybe 5 people, are not serious at all. They will actually change the subject or make a polite joke in order to escape the conversation. I guess a bit of reality can be scary sometimes, or maybe it is just unfun to think about. I mean, I don't like to see the big picture of things. Ask yourself where is your life going and see what kinda mood that puts yourself in.

How about respect? I want respect. I just want as much respect as I give another person. The thing that bothers me the most, is you can be with a friend, and everything will be cool. But as soon as a third person comes into the picture, joking around starts, but it always turns into making fun of one another. And some forms of this is ok, but not pointing out things that probably would make a lil school girl cry home. Why must people attack personal attributes for a quick laugh? All you are doing is hurting that persons self estem, and probably making them not want to hang out with you.

Goals

I have a few goals which I would like to see met. One of the main goals that governs the way I run my llife is that I would like a wife someday. So I am always looking to date someone so I can see if they are marrage material. This causes me to be extreme on girls that I am interested in. If I don't like something I will break off the relationship, this is cause the whole purpose of dating is to marry that person, and if I know I couldn't live with her, then I am going to just be friends, or at least try to :P

Another goal in my life is to have a secure job, and a nice house. I think the only way to fully enjoy my llife, I am going to have to start my own buisness somewhere, and then after it becomes self sufficient, I will just let someone else manage it. That way, I will always be getting money in even if i choose to do nothing for the rest of my life. But I plan on having a real job too. But I just don't know what I want to do yet, which I guess is pretty normal.

And there you go, that is how I run my life. By those two goals. Now, I do have a bunch of hobbies that take up my time, so don't think I live a boring life. I seem to keep myself always entertained by doing something. I also try to live simply; if some complications occur, I will quickly figure out a solution for those problems and then continue onward. I am also very independent. I will always want or have my own tools in which to live or do a certain task. If I can't do something, I will try to learn the skill so I can do it myself.

My Past

Well, I was born and raised in Metairie, LA (and for those who don't know where that is, it is right outside of New Orleans). I started my life on November 21, 1980; son to John and Lynn. I am a brother to an older sister, Jill. She is 4 years older than me, woo hoo. Before I knew what was going on, my dad's parents bothed died, which left me to my mom's parents. They were really cool people. I used to spend an entire summer at their place in Houma, LA.

I was always pretty much a nerd/dork since I was little. I just knew what kind of people I liked to hang out with, and the others I wouldn't talk to. So, from like kindagarden to 4th grade, I just hung around with this guy Chris. He was pretty much my only friend outside the local neighborhood boys. Sometime around the 4th grade we got in a fight because he was talking shit about my dad, and I droped a pen down his shirt which later exploded like a hand grenade. His mom and my mom got into fights, a long story short, we weren't friends anymore.

Around that time, I started to hang out with Mike Sowell. He just lived a few blocks down from me, so we were together a lot. Soon enough we became best friends. When his cousin stayed the summers, it became a trio. Can't you tell I was the popular kid in school? Heh. In seventh grade my dad died of a heart attack, I was 12. It was a very strange time for me. I started to read books on supernatural events and stuff like astral projection. I also started writing a lot of poetry. I never cried though, which desturbed some people, exspecially my direct family. Sometimes I would fake cry so it would make me fit in.

After my dad died, it drew one part of my family closer together and I started to spend a lot of time with my cousin Nathan. I would go to his house almost every weekend, or he would come to mine. But like all things, that came to an end. We just stoped hanging out together.

Then I went to high school. I left in the eigth grade because I started hating the people at my current school, which was St. Christopher. Now I was attending Jesuit High.

When I was young, I assume it was arround the second grade, I started taking piano lessons. So when I started up at Jesuit, I joined all the bands they had. I was in concert, ROTC, jazz, and marching band playing anything in the pitt or that resembles a piano. After my eigth grade year I quit everything but concert and marching band, which I later quit when I was a Junior. In eigth grade I also found a guitar in my closet that used to be my dad's, and so I started to learn how to play by ear. When I was a freshman I bought a bass guitar, and started to learn how to play. I was in two bands playing bass, and then I bought an electric guitar and was in one band playing guitar.

So yeah, I was in high school with still just Mike as my friend. After fumbling around for three years I finally found good friends. There was Mike, Mike, Mikey, Dave, David, Pierre, Al, Peter, Celeste, and Christina. If I am leaving someone out, I appologize. I am still friends with these people today; however, most of them have changed a lot. Everyone one of my friends was pretty much like a best friend. While in high school, Mike and I would rollerblade and everyone would come over to watch. We had a ramp, and some rails to grind. It happened every friday night, everyone would go to Mike's while we skate. Then we started to skateboard because blading was just too easy. The next big thing we started to learn was breakdancing, and then flatland biking.

Another big thing of high school was making movies. Peter and I would get together and shoot lil stupid movies. Eventually I got a descent computer that could edit film, and I started calling myself Pod People Productions. Peter would come up with an idea, and then we would go tape it. I would also do things for people's school projects. The only films I still have on tape is mainly from school projects.

Once I got that new computer, people started coming to my house instead of Mike's, and we would connect two computers together and play games like starcraft, duke nukem, postal, and grand theft auto. That is when I started liking computer games.

Then I went to college. Once in college I started playing on my computer a whole lot more because there was nothing else to do in Ruston, LA. More and more I became a bigger computer nerd :P The way I met most of my friends I have now is from throwing LAN Parties at my apartment. We called it SG Underground. People from class would come and play computer games at my house, and whoever the regulars were became my friends. I think the LAN Parties also helped me get a job at a computer store. Well, SGU went down since I moved, and I made Zero Defect. But we don't have LANs much anymore, maybe once a quater. I started trying to teach myself Japanease, hackysack, trampoline tricks, and some other stuff I can't think of right now. And that is pretty much where I am in life.
