Let it never be said that he who puts forth the effort makes no progression.

In a sense, I suppose I look at life in a poetic matter. Every single day that passes is nothing more than an addition of a series of moments to our story, all adding up to equal another page. Day in and day out my story grows bigger. I hope that the last day of my life, I leave a story behind that will keep the memory of me alive, forever.

I have a slight anti-social side to me, depending on my mood. Sure, I can go out and put a smile on my face for the sake having a good time with the people I care about, but I tend not to be very trusting of anyone I don't know. And to top it off, it takes some people years for me to say that I "know" them, so I often find myself stuck in a rather odd boat of not really knowing anyone.

I'm a guitar player, a writer and ultimately a Network Engineer. I knew what I wanted to do since I was a child; I've always been fascinated with computers, and eventually, they became my love, my hobby and my career. I design, implement and maintain large network infrastructures (internetworking and unix platform administration primarily) for a living. It gets the bills paid. I'm also one hell of a guitar player -- Mesa Boogie stack, anyone?

I'm rarely on here, so IMing me is usually the best way to say hello, though that point of contact is also few and far between. I'm always up for conversation, especially if it's debate! To top it all off, I enjoy being judged -- I like to hear what people think about me. If you dislike me, feel free to state it. If you think I'm an asshole, once again, shout it out at the top of your lungs. I'll listen to you and even hear your reasons, but you'll never see any worry or hurt in my eyes.
