Mike D

I haven't updated this in forever so I finally will. Well, to tell all yall about me, I am a PhD student at VCU in Richmond. I recently finished my classes, never have to sit through another one, and am working on my dissertation now, so I will be a full fledged Doctor next May (2008). But that is not my life. When I am not busy doing school work, I am conspiring to take over the world.Sometimes my conspiring to take over the world gets me in trouble. I believe in free speech and I use mine all the time to say what I think. It usually gets me in trouble, which is why I am usually laid-back and chill when I am not in the middle of making a point.I like to travel (30 states and counting) and I have seen sporting events in like 27 of those states. I also love baseball, and have been to more then half the major league baseball stadiums, including all 5 in California. My favorite place to travel are Las Vegas, Nevada; Los Angeles, California; San Diego, California; and Minneapolis, Minnesota.I laugh alot and make alot of jokes which I get from being odd. I know of few other people like myself- I can watch South Park or Family Guy and laugh all night then switch the channel and watch CNN discuss some worldwide political debate.My passion in life is fighting for my belief, which I think is the right of everyone to freely express there views in speech. I don't know if it's going to make me rich, but every millionaire I've ever talked to has said find what you are passionate about, become good at it, and he money will come. That's what I'm doing.One last thing about me. I'm very non-conventional and I could never work a "regular" 9-5 type job. I believe the craziest dreams are out there for the taking, you just have to have the belief in yourself to go get them.
