About Me

Thinking about maybe perhaps possibly leaving State College sometime in the near future. Actually, I have to leave soon. Naval Reactors doesn't want to pay me to go to school forever. So, now all I have to do is pass my comprehensive exam and then finish writing my disertation sometime before June or July. It should be about time to move on soon anyway. I have been living in SC for pretty much the last eight years, with a few summers spent other places. Right now i'm just trying to enjoy the time i have left with the friends that are still here while i can. The future is just that, so it will have to wait for me. See you at the Skeller.Ain't nothin' to it but to do it. put your pimp foot forward and let the other one follow

The greatest hits have to include those by john lamarsh, lewis and miller, collier, van carey, and especially todreas and kazimi. currently i'm spending a lot of time nose deep in scorchers by cesare frepoli, jack travis, and dave aumiller. Actually there probably are more entertaining works...but these are what i read the most of these days.
