I am a high school student. I spend a lot of time to myself. I enjoy playing video games, watching movies, and talking to people. That's why I'm here. By the way, I am not really Greek. It is kind of a historical joke.

I was born in Augusta, Georgia, on October 22, 1991 (Anno Domini?). I lived in North Augusta, South Carolina for a month. Then I moved to Sacramento, California. I lived there until I was three, moved back to North Augusta, moved to Henderson, North Carolina in August of 1997, and then elsewhere, a month later. I have lived here ever since then.

Well, my life has never been perfect. The last four years of my life were spent in near social exile. I had few friends and most people hated me. I have never had girlfriend, flirted with a girl, nor did I even permit myself to having a "crush", because, in the end, I knew that I would only know the life of a pained heart. I never really had anyone to turn to, except for God. Fortunately, rather than becoming the angry kid that people always bother, I became of mild-mannered and socially neutral person. This has never got me anymore friends, but I have less enemies. However, my actions have not inhibited the making of friends for me. Since I never really fought hate with hate, most who hated me are just apathetic toward me and could not care less about me. If you do come to know, I would like to think that you would see me as a friend, because I have no reason to dislike you unless you act truly awful to me. I mean, I'm a pretty tolerant person. Even if you choose to prefer others over me, I'll be okay with it, because I'm used to it. I will not hold a grudge, nor pester you with questions asking why. If there's something about me that you cannot appreciate, then I will be sure not to be a bother to you, assuming that you will treat me the same.

Despite my social excommunication that seems to have been forced on me, I do treat people with the respect and love that I have never known. This is because of my Christian faith, which by the way, is based on virtue and not the fundamentalist doctrines. I generally do not think there is an absolute religion of truth. Truthfully, I wouldn't want anyone to suffer as I often have. I'll give anyone a chance. Everyone deserves one. Whether or not it becomes something is up to you, however. I'm not going to associate with you if you insist on being like an arrogant asshole or a bully in nature. The people that make life better are the ones who accept everyone. No one feels left out with them, and everyone generally feels happier. That's one of my goals in life, to say the least. It isn't just to make myself happier, but as many people as I can along the way.

I have some talents and from what my sister tells me, I am good at doing impersonations. They include Steve Irwin, Yoda, Captain Barbossa, etc. Famous people of the media.

You see, on Christmas of 1997, I got a Nintendo 64 and Super Mario 64 with it. It was the first 3-D video game I ever had and the first one I played. My father, sister and I all shared it and worked together in beating it. We worked really hard on it in the first year of having it. After a couple years, my father defeated Bowser and saved the princess.

Over the next few years, we played the game off and on and my sister and I got up to about 99 or a hundred power stars. Many years passed and without us playing and my sister and I never beat Bowser ourselves either. My father had the glory of probably getting the larger share of the stars and beating Bowser. I wanted the glory of getting the last twenty stars myself and getting the 100 lives cheats from doing so.

In 2004, I got the Nintendo DS and Super Mario 64 DS for Christmas and I completed it by getting all 150 stars and beating Bowser too. I was proud of that. The game is a remake of the original with more features. I figured that since I could figure out the DS game, then I finished the old one. I got a few more stars, but to no avail. About a year later, I got the last of the stars and had my glory, but my father made a wisecrack that he ultimately was the best by claiming he had done the most.

With that having been said, I decided to secure my glory and honor. I started my own file and with my advanced coordination, experience, and knowledge, I was ready to beat the whole game myself. Each day I would get almost twenty stars a day, if not more. I had to stop sometimes because we had a yard sale. Today, I earned the last of the stars on my file and then I decided to take on Bowser and without the 100 lives cheat that I could do. After a few tries that took a long period of time, I defeated Bowser and showed my father and sister my feat. Having beaten him with all the stars, I got Bowser to say something unique when I defeated him. As Mario flew from the sky and reunited with Peach, I knew that after ten long years of trying to master the game that started it all for me, that my journey was complete and I was the master of the only game that the three of us all worked at together in my house and having mastered that game, Super Mario 64, I knew I was the greatest gamer in my family, which was my dream from the start.

Hope that you bothered to read this and that it inspired you.



"Why would I learn a romance language if I will never be in love?"

"The candle in my life has gone out." - Theodore Roosevelt

"Dominance is as dominance does. Dominance is really not a strategic policy or a political philosophy at all. Rather, it as a seductive illusion that tempts the powerful to satiate their hunger for more power by striking a bargain with their consciences. As always happens sooner or later to those who shake hands with the devil, they find out too late that what they have given up in the bargain is their soul." - Al Gore


"Pacifists would do well to study the Siegfried and Maginot Lines, remembering that these defenses were forced; that Troy fell; that the walls of Hadrian succumbed; that the Great Wall of China was futile; and that, by the same token, the mighty seas which are alleged to defend us can also be circumvented by a resolute and ingenious opponent. In war, the only sure defense is offense, and the efficiency of offense depends on the warlike souls of those conducting it." - General George S. Patton
