The Jester's Realm

Hello and welcome to the Jester's Realm!

My real name is Josh, although I am known on the net commonly as Siward or Jester. Siward because of my love for the character in Shakespheare's "MacBeth." Jester due to my view of life as a joke, silliness, and to my appearance, as it is sometimes resemblant of that of a fool.

This is The Jester!

I love poetry! Some of my favorite poets include: Shakespeare, Poe, Keats, Tennyson, Wordsworth, Coleridge, Blake, Shelley (mr. & mrs.), and Byron. *If you know of a book of one of these poets' complete works, other than Shakespheare and Poe, let me know!*

I am a college student. I am studying mechanical and aerospace engineering. Presently I am attending Potomac State College of WVU, but I will be transfering to West Virginia University after this semester. PSC is a great college with a laid back personality. The instructors are wonderful! They go out of their way to help you with any problem you may encounter. They also care for your well-being both physically and academically. It is a friendly little college, but it is not for me. I need my friends who go to WVU and I need to get away from home. (it's that whole independant teenager/young adult thing)

I am rather firm in my beliefs and religious practices. I am Roman Catholic by practice, but I am Christian by faith. I love Jesus dearly and wish that I were more devoted. Although I do not live my life for him, for he lived his life for me! I live my life to seek and accept him, my Lord, Jesus Christ! (I don't mean to impose my beliefs, just state them)
