I'm 22. I live in Galway, Ireland. I'm doing nothing with myself right now except wasting time on Usenet, and studying C++. I have to learn that language before I go to college in September, 'cause it's tricky, and I'd prefer to know it before I end up in college and it turns out to be something that I fail. I can't afford to fail again. That's right, 'again'. I already made a balls of it the first time. I don't want to repeat myself.

Why did I make a balls out of it in the first place? Ask me, or some of the people in alt.underground. They may tell you. I'm not going to write that here, 'cause I don't know whom you are, and it may be detrimental to me if you find out.

I don't have any pictures to offer, other than what you see there, 'cause I don't have a scanner or a digital camera. Come to think of it, I don't have any camera. I barely have a computer. It's a cheap Pentium Pro with 128MB and a 1.5 Gig storage capacity, with a 850MB slave. I have a nice 17-inch monitor though, but I have dinky graphics card, so I can't even use that properly. I'm going to get a new PC as soon as I can, but until then, I'll have to pretend it's still 1996, and 200MHz is something to be proud of.

What I do have to offer, however, is images. If you click the link next to my head, you'll come upon a page with thumbnails of images that I've created with the help of a couple of programs. I am by no means an artist, but the pics don't suck either, and it won't kill you to download them, so go on and click the link. Take a look!

I'm a big fan of Stephen King. I've read most of his works, except for Misery, The Dark Half, and Dolores Claiborne. I started Dolores Claiborne, but I didn't like it. I don't know why, but I just couldn't get into it. As for the other two, I'm just guilty of judging a book by its cover. Some day I'll read them... If you have any interest in Stephen King, see my ABSK page.

I just finished Of Mice and Men, by John Steinbeck. What a book! He has a way of writing about people who have nothing, and exploiting their dreams so that you can only appreciate the life you have now. Before Mice and Men, I read The Grapes of Wrath, and it's by far, one of the most soul wrenching novels I've ever read. What happened to Tom, Noah, Mr. Wilson, and that worm, Connie?

Well, I guess this is enough to Post. I know it isn't much, but I'm just trying to get something quick together. It seems like everyone has a web page these days, and I didn't want to be left out! ;-)
