I also took Drama for four years, & took English for six years, always
getting As & Bs in English because I have long excelled in English class despite
having a learning disability from the time I was very young. I learned how to
read & write on my own first by reading comic books, then graphic novels,
then real novels, especially the classics; I now have college level reading
skills & have had them since I was in the 7th grade.
The Crucible, Readers Of The Round Table, & Dots, are just some of the
plays I have acted & starred in over the years, some of them school
related, some professional. My favorite to date is one of the school
productions, it was The Crucible where I starred as one of the key characters
Rev. Hale, a major character in the story. It was fun & great, leaving me
with many friends from the cast & crew.
Before I start talking about my current projects & life I wish to give a

Currently I am involved in a Medieval
& Renaissance reenactment group called The Alliance of Medieval &
Renaissance Empires.
I am also currently practicing
with my Ethereal music band Absinthe Augmentation, in which I play a
guitarviol as well as write the lyrics & manage the direction of the band.
One day when we feel that we are good enough we will record a demo & will
send it in to Projekt Records & we hope we can get accepted, for I really
like Projekt Records & would be ever so honored to be on their label.
I also have plans of starting my own
online store (separate from my other one) to sell clothing of my own designs,
I mainly design Medieval, Renaissance, Georgian, Victorian, & Edwardian
inspired clothing with a slightly darker more Gothic edge. I would be
designing & sewing the clothing my self & then selling them, the store
will be called Green Faerie Fashions.
I currently have no theatrical plays
that I am involved with, but am willing to be.
Once I get a working scanner I will
start posting up new art for this site, & for the merchandise in my online
store, as well as start doing more projects with C3.
On July 30th I became a certified
ordained Minister Reverend for The Universal Life Church, & now can
legally perform marriages within my state, funerals, baptisms, last rites,
council to criminals, communion, or any other sort of legal ceremony or ritual
I wish to perform, except circumcision. To start a church of my own, be it a bricks and mortar building or on the
internet. & To absolve others of their sins.
I am also pondering on weather I
should go to school for a Masters degree in the Study of Research &
Information of Library Sciences, which of course would make me a certified
Librarian. I really like the idea of becoming a Librarian, it is a very peaceful
& admirable job, it helps further education & reading, & the
growth of good citizens. I have long wanted to become one, & so ponder
weather I should, perhaps I shall.
I also have some fantastic News! I am
currently engaged to the most wonderful girl in all the world Miss Nancy Ann
Venegas & we are to wed on October 31st 2006, I hope all of you wish her
& me the best of luck for I wish all of you the best of luck in your
relationships. Nancy makes me so happy, I can't wait to we wed.
Well that is my current life thus far, lets
see what magnificent changes shall come.
