Everything you wanna know.

My first lens, and the beginning of a perilous journey(:P) into Squidoo. Of course, the amount of useful info here will be slim, but hey, I could be your next best friend.

You'll see hobbies, quirks, habits, and the like. I've never been much of a writer, but I'm hoping my skill will increase, and my future lenses will be entertaining/informative.

Let the adventure begin!

Where I'm From

Louisville SluggerI was born in Louisville, Ky. I haven't had a chance to travel far, but I will someday. Currently live just outside of downtown, and I can usually see the tall buildings on my way home from work. I swear, the best omelets come from the Galt House; they make them right in front of you!

They've really expanded the place in the past few years. My old stomping grounds got a Kroger. Losing the Blockbuster though. <-- Saw that one coming. *Cough*netflix. I've been to the Yum Center and even saw Dane Cook do some standup. I got to meet the guy backstage too! Oh, and I can't forget the IHOP. Big Steak Omelet is the way to go, my friends.

What I Do

I'm working as a Software Engineer for a midsize A/V Integrator. We do a lot of cool stuff, and I get to keep some of the toys in my office. After 4 years here, I'm probably not leaving.

Another perk is the nifty knowledge I gained regarding room control. I have a touchscreen at home with some light controls that need hooking up. The plan is to walk into my place, touch the screen, and the lights come on! Maybe after I write this. Ha!

Things I Enjoy

Oh boy, just like you, I could go on and on about this. Where to start...

I'm a digital artist. Mostly cartoons, but I've been trying my hand at digital painting for over a year now. I've gotten better, but I'm nowhere near the level I want to be. DeviantArt hosts some of my stuff, and I have a little work sprinkled across the major stock image sites.

I've been a small business owner for about a year. It's made a little money, but there's so much room for growth. We carry A/V equipment and rubber ducks... what?!

One of my all-time goals is to become financially independent. I know, that's everybody's goal, right? My job pays okay, but who wants to work the rest of their life? Not this guy!

Some of my favorite things.

Small list of things I like or use.

My Old Cintiq
I bought this Cintiq on Ebay. I loved it, but sold it so I could get my tablet.
ASUS Eee Slate
What I bought after I sold my Cintiq. I've used it to play Angry Birds on my tv. :P
My Deviant Art Gallery
I doodle with my tablets every now and then.
PVP - Online Comic
One of my favorite online comics.
Angry Birds on Your Computer
Allows you to play Angry Birds on your computer. He he he.

Angry Pig

Angry Birds 8" Plush Piglet with Sound

Amazon Price: $8.75 (as of 05/28/2012)Buy Now

This was a gift I gave my sister for Christmas(2011). She has an odd pig-interest(don't ask), and she likes Angry Birds. Perfect.

The End...

If you made it this far, my "awesome" writing didn't maim you. Congratulations!

I really hope I can bring value to Squidoo, and the interwebz as a whole. I have a lot to say, and this seems like a great outlet. I can honestly imagine carrying my laptop everywhere with me so I can type up some spontaneous lenses... 'cept in the car. That's dangerous.
