About me

For right now, this is just my first blog post, I will update this however as things happen, and when I do, I will mark it at the end with a date and number.

So, Facebooks' ever changing format, with out fixing any of the bugs 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 blank 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. I am also working on my relation with God, so it will be intesting to see how all these things go together
