Updates: My diet has been going well, alcohol only with friends; soda only when I enter caffeine withdraw at home. The sad thing is that I have been putting on weight despite eating less as well.
There is no such thing as coincidence, just the illusion of coincidence itself.

I just happen to be one of the rarest things you can find, a third generation Floridian... not only that but I can not tan so I can reflect the moonlight. Despite being raised in the literal center of the state and middle of nowhere, I do not have a southern accent (although the redneck nature is still a big part of me). I still call the woods home, even though people have started moving out toward where I live (danged urban sprawl), and I am quite glad the State made the area between my neighborhood and the River a Wildlife preserve. Being raised in the woods has left me to be a bit of a purist and I try to keep things as simple as possible (as you can currently witness by looking at my page, I don't really feel the need to "pimp" it).
I can not stand being bored, leaves me with too much to do and not enough time or money to do anything truly fun.
I had Cancer starting way back in 1994, and it predominated my life, to the fact that I have a unique perspective on life; this philosophy extends into every aspect of my life and frequently alienates everyone from me (either that or my aura of Nerd). Apparently some people tend to get a bad read off of me and think I am the standard immature 20 something male, but as those who know me are aware that is far from the case.
I currently work touching the minds of today's slightly more educated, sometimes it does not seem that way. Teaching at a college and working towards an NSF Grant to make the school a premier institution occupies much of my time these days, but it is air conditioned work that doesn't require me to sit on a phone or computer all day (I just choose to spend much of the time in front of the computer).
