Starting out, and my reasons

          So, Facebooks' ever changing format, with out fixing any the bug I always seemed to run into rather anyone else did or not, drove me to seek a new medium in which I may speak to the world and have it speak back to me. That being said, I guess I should say something about myself and what we are likely to read here.

          I will start by stating the obvious to those who already know me, I am a nerd, I play magic the gathering, I own half a dozen video game systems, I use two laptops(mine broke so I am using my grand fathers' since he does not, and the second is my mothers' since she just a better one shortly after) and I own a hand full of desktops and about three monitors for each, needless to say, I like my hardware, and I have wanted to build a robot since I was six, which I did end up doing when I was ten, but I still wish to build a better one.

          I was raised in Joliet all my life, by my grandparents for the most part. My mother worked a lot, my grand mother was(and still is a librarian) and my grand father has been many things over his many years, from welder to designer (tug boats) to safety inspector and many others, he is a student at the moment. I pick up most my traits from them, I am slightly OCD however it is fairly random as to when it will kick in. I love working with my hands and along with wanting to build my own robot, I have since added to the list of things I wish to build: a car, a house, computer(starting just with a black circuit board mind you), and I wish to build these in full before I die. 

          My room is a wealth of information in all forms, I have more books then I know what to do with, DVD's and CD's come out every crack of my room, and even items older then I am, a good 20 pounds (9 kg) of it, and if the information I am looking for is not here, I am well versed in how to use the Internet to find what I am looking for. I will use US standard but I will put metric as well, since I feel I am better with it.

          I am an American, however I use that term loosely, as it is where I was born, I view the world as a single unit, which it is, just many others look at things on a diffrent scale then I do, I try to look at as much as I can at once, big and/or small.

          I am going to school for Orthotics and Prosthetics, and I may later seek out a degree in optogenetics as it pretty well fuses a good share of my favorite things into one field. One item I have just learned about not to long ago that also fits well with my Ideas, hobbies, and such is Grinding(http://grinding.be/). I am also working on my relation with God, so it will be intesting to see how all these things go together

           Now, my post in the future will not be so long winded, so please check back, and I will be playing with settings to save what happens
