: About Me

Hi! My name is Derrick. I love to write, particularly poetry, as well as teaching people new things that they, perhaps, would not have known otherwise. I guess I fit in here just right! I love to garden and I have immense gardening knowledge and troubleshooting expertise. I am a homeopathic gardener, and for those who don't know, that is herbal gardening for the private use of making medicines and medical type applications using plant parts. I also love playing video games so I have a good bit of knowledge on that as well as computer technologies. I am a computer repair specialist by title. I can troubleshoot almost anything when it comes to computers. I do not know how to program though I do have a slight knowledge of some of the basics. I love music and I know alot about the history of music especially in the field of Rock and Metal. Umm...but to most, I am just an ordinary person...young in age and at heart. I am only 21 years old but yet I know so much that I apply it to sites such as this to share with others what I have learned in life so far.

Most would think, wow, a tornado, that must be the worst, but it is not. Tornadoes only share a small fraction of weather related deaths each year.
