A Brief Third Person Biography
A self-described "geek, born and raised", of Scotch/Irish descent. His long-standing ambition has been to start a small games and collectibles store. Since this didn't pan out (no business sense), he's instead intending to begin studies for a BA double majoring in English and Philosophy next year, at Cape Breton University in Sydney, Nova Scotia. Following that, he intends to take his Bachelor of Education, and likely continue with night classes while teaching. He'd someday like to be an English professor, but isn't really sure he can manage it.
His interests include video games, numerous internet phenomena (especially and including the tendency of liberating so many from the shackles of courtesy and common sense). One of his claims to fame is the posession of every video game system released since the NES, and a large complement of games. Yes, even a Virtual Boy, though he still has posession of his retinas too. The walls of his room are almost utterly covered in books, and his laptop's harddrive is packed with more. This gives him the distinct and possibly misguided impression that he may be able to passionately and accurately comment on matters of literature, at least within his own meandering and eccentric pattern of reading.
Current Projects
These are simply musings, and will be acted upon in a fairly regular fashion and as it strikes my fancy. I despise creating stubs (not others doing it, just when I do it), and so will endeavor to create pieces which, while possibly not utterly complete, are comprehensive enough to qualify as encyclopedic pieces.
- Add article on Discordianism
- Add article on Absurdism
- Add article on Global Warming
- Add article on Norah Jones
- Add article on Vincent van Gogh
- *(Potentially with specific branch to a whole article on Starry Night, or at least a subsection? Maybe not maintainable, but Starry Night has been subject of so many pop culture references these days, and is one of the most recognizeable prints in the world. Thoughts from anyone? Don't hesitate to comment on my discussion page.)
- Add article on Scientology
- Add article on Nintendo Entertainment System (Link upward to MOS)
