Chicago's very own

It's a beautiful world we live in, for those lucky few

About Me

Born and raised in Chicago. When Im not working or at school I can usually be found out and about in LP. I've also been getting back into writing more and more, hence the site. It's a very organic process, developing the site that is. I'm rather picky about layouts, so expect to see a change here and there from time to time.

My Interests

Well, to go into generics... Film, Reading, History, Philosophy, Heavy Metal, anything having to do with Chicago or technology in general. Being a programmer does technically kinda make me a nerd.
Anywho, what I do like most is just hanging out with my friends and just bs-ing about just about everything with them. That is probably what is best in life for me.

I'd like to meet:

I've met quite a few famous people as it is, but I would really like to meet the lead singer of Nevermore, Warrel Danes. I think the man is brilliant, and I'd like to know more about the man behind the lyrics.I'd also like to meet Jason Mewes and Kevin Smith, for I just absolutely LOVE the Jersey Trilogy...even though it encompasses more than 3 movies.OH!H.P. Lovecraft. Definately. To me, he's one of the greatest authors to have ever lived.
