| Well, this page is to give a little bit more information about myself to anyone who cares to read it. I am not sure what exactly to put so I shall start with the ever popular "fun facts" Cheesey.. yes, but also revealing . Now in color ! ! ! (I know you're in awe, but nothing is too good for my surfers.) |

| Next... My infamous time-line section. This section delved into my inner psyche and will give you a lot of information, most likely, more that you care to know. Consider yourself warned. The timeline will just be general, but eventually you will be able to click on the event to get the story. The timeline is divided into four sections: Foundation, Challanges, Despair, and Redemption. This will be a "No holds bared" look into my life when I am finished. Kind of scary laying myself out like this, but what the hell... It will include just about every event that shaped who I am-that I can think of. I am not sure if I have all the dates right, but they're close. I appologise that this is not the most coherent piece of work, but maybe someday, when I write my autobiography, I will be able to craft it into a smooth narative. (Either that or my friend Dianne offered to write my biography, so it might just be her problem.) If your reading this to try to figure me out... good luck. I've known myself for over 30 years and I am just starting to understand me. |
