I believe myself to be an average American male. I live with my two roommates in an apartment in western Allentown, PA, where we've resided the last three years.
Born in the summer of 1979, I can honestly say that I've seen and done more in my lifetime than most people my age, and some who are older as well. I'm an Ex-US Navy Photographer and was attached to the USS Kitty Hawk CV 63 during my enlistment. Due to this, I have seen many countries around the pacific rim, including Japan, Hong Kong, Singapore, Thailand, and Australia. I also participated in both Operation Enduring Freedom (Afghanistan Part 1) and Operation Iraq Freedom (Iraq Part 2.)
Currently, I am back in college earning a degree in Computer Graphics and Animation. As an extracurricular activity, I also DJ for the college FM radio station, 90.3 WXLV on Thursday afternoons usually between 1 and 3 pm. The website to listen to that station is www.wxvlvradio.com if you should feel so inclined to tune in.
I enjoy reading, writing, acting, sketching, painting, Photography, watching movies, playing video games, and karaoke. When I write I try to add an element of humor to my work, so that my reader will be both informed and entertained.
Frankly I like to think that the average American is smart enough to know when I'm being sarcastic and that they know how to tell the difference between fact and opinion. Thus, humor is a comfortable medium for me and hopefully you'll find my articles enjoyable and informative. Just for the record, however, I don't promise you anything, and if you find an article by me that is neither funny or informative, I still don't owe you anything. I'm an amateur. I just do this for fun.

Imagine for a moment, that you cannot die. You can age, become sick, even suffer horrendous dismemberment, but no matter what, you cannot die. Now imagine that this happens across the face of the entire globe. In all nations, each and every many woman and child suddenly cannot die. This is the plot of Torchwood: Miracle Day coming July 8th on the Starz cable network. Why should you care? For those readers...
